EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into the grim reality of Coldbath Fields Prison in London. In this haunting image, we witness an essential yet harrowing process: the fumigation of prisoners' clothes. The engraving by C. Hartshorn captures a scene filled with tension and despair as inmates' garments hang suspended from lines within the prison walls. The air is heavy with anticipation, revealing the harsh conditions endured by those confined within these unforgiving walls. Clerkenwell Gaol was notorious for its overcrowding and unsanitary living conditions during this era, making fumigation a necessary measure to combat disease and infestation among prisoners. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the dehumanizing nature of incarceration at that time. Henry Mayhew's compilation, "The Criminal Prisons of London" sheds light on this dark corner of history through his articles featured alongside this engraving. It offers valuable insights into not only the physical realities faced by prisoners but also their psychological toll. As we gaze upon this poignant image captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, let us reflect on how far society has come in terms of penal reform while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done in ensuring humane treatment for all individuals within our justice system.
