EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print of Bodmin Prison from the Peter Higginbotham Collection captures a glimpse into the dark history of juvenile incarceration in England. The imposing stone walls and barred windows serve as a stark reminder of the harsh conditions that children once faced within these walls. Bodmin Prison, located in Cornwall, was originally built as a county jail in the 18th century but later became notorious for its treatment of young offenders. Children who found themselves on the wrong side of the law were often sent to institutions like Bodmin as a form of punishment and rehabilitation. The image evokes feelings of sadness and empathy for those who were confined within its confines, their freedoms stripped away at such a young age. It serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in terms of social welfare and care for vulnerable youth. As we look upon this photo print, let us not forget the struggles that these children faced and strive to create a more compassionate and supportive system for those in need. May it also serve as a testament to the resilience and strength of those who survived such challenging circumstances, reminding us all to never take our freedom for granted.
