EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the harsh reality of life inside Dartmoor Prison in 1884. The middle panel shows prisoners toiling away in the tailoring shop, diligently making uniforms under the watchful eye of their guards. In the bottom right corner, a solitary figure is depicted "pumping air" as punishment - turning the crank handle with no purpose or end in sight. This cruel and senseless task serves as a stark reminder of the dehumanizing conditions faced by those incarcerated within these walls.
In contrast, the bottom left corner offers a glimpse into the carpentry shop, where skilled craftsmen work diligently at their trade. Despite their circumstances, these individuals display resilience and determination as they hone their skills and find solace in creating something tangible with their hands.
This photograph serves as a powerful testament to both the hardships endured by prisoners at Dartmoor Prison and their unwavering spirit in the face of adversity. It is a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and serves as a call to action to ensure that such injustices are never repeated.
