EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the tumultuous era of the 1980s, where prisons were often marred by riots and unrest. The image features HMP Barlinnie Prison hostage Dave Flanagan, his face etched with anger and frustration. It is July 1988, a time when tensions ran high within the prison walls. Flanagan's discontent stems from being offered a meager £3500 in compensation for an undisclosed incident that occurred during his time as a hostage at HMP Barlinnie. His expression speaks volumes about the injustice he feels towards this seemingly inadequate offer. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by both prisoners and prison officers during this period. The 1980s witnessed numerous uprisings within correctional facilities across the country, highlighting systemic issues that plagued these institutions. Memory Lane Prints allows us to delve into history through powerful visuals like this one. It prompts reflection on how our society has evolved since then and raises questions about justice and rehabilitation within our penal system. As we gaze upon Flanagan's visage frozen in time, it becomes evident that there are stories behind every face captured by Daily Record photographers. This particular image encapsulates not only one man's anger but also echoes broader themes surrounding prisons in the 1980s - an era marked by turmoil and social change.
