Bobbed Borstal Convicted Corner L Aw Ordinary Prison Prisons Taught


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, a corner of the French "Borstal" for girls at Fresne Prison comes to life. The Borstal system, named after Borstal Training and Reformatory Institution in England, was established in France to house and rehabilitate young girls under the age of 21 who had been convicted of minor offenses. The image shows a classroom scene, where a group of young girls, their bobbed hair styled in the latest fashion of the era, sit attentively at their desks. Their expressions suggest a mix of concentration and curiosity as they engage with their lessons. The ordinary school curriculum, which included subjects such as reading, writing, arithmetic, and manual work, was designed to provide these girls with the skills they needed to reintegrate into society and avoid future offenses. The girls' uniforms, consisting of blouses, skirts, and collars, add to the historical context of the image. The presence of the blackboard and chalk suggests that a lesson is in progress, while the open windows allow natural light to filter in, creating a sense of openness and hope. Despite the harsh reality of being confined within prison walls, the girls are shown to be receiving a valuable education that would help them lead productive lives upon their release. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of rehabilitation and the transformative power of education, even in the most unexpected of settings. The photograph was taken at Fresne Prison in Paris, France, and is a testament to the history of the French criminal justice system and its efforts to reform young offenders. It is a powerful image that invites us to reflect on the complexities of the human condition and the potential for redemption and growth, even in the face of adversity.
