EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities of prison life at Coldbath Fields Prison. The image depicts a scene of fumigation, as workers diligently attend to the task of disinfecting prisoners' clothes. In this Victorian-era illustration from "The Criminal Prisons of London and Scenes from Prison Life" by Henry Mayhew and John Binny, we witness an important aspect of disease control within the criminal justice system. Fumigation was crucial in preventing the spread of contagious illnesses among inmates. A stern-looking warder oversees the process, ensuring that every garment is thoroughly treated before being returned to its owner. The meticulousness with which these workers carry out their duty reflects both their commitment to maintaining hygiene standards and their recognition of its significance in preserving prisoner health. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this historical snapshot, emphasizing the somber atmosphere that permeated prisons during this era. It serves as a reminder not only of the challenging conditions faced by those incarcerated but also highlights society's evolving approach towards rehabilitation within correctional facilities. As we contemplate this intriguing engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it prompts us to reflect on how far our criminal justice system has come since then – reminding us that progress should always be pursued for a more humane treatment of individuals who find themselves behind bars.
