Elizabeth Fry, often referred to as the "angel of prisons," dedicated her life to advocating for better treatment of prisoners and implementing reforms within the criminal justice system. Her tireless efforts at Newgate Prison were instrumental in bringing about much-needed change and raising awareness about the deplorable conditions that inmates faced.
