Corridor, Newgate Prison, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Corridor, Newgate Prison, [London], 1850. The gaol of Newgate, beyond all doubt, has great defects compared with more modern erections... It is greatly to be desired...that no sentences (except for very short periods) should take place in Newgate. The perpetual excitement, the ever-fluctuating character of the inmates, the assemblage of criminals of the most flagrant nature, the constant recurrence of the sessions, make Newgate a very undesirable prison for purposes of lengthened confinement'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the Corridor of Newgate Prison in London during the 19th century. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, reveals the stark and grim interior of the notorious prison. The corridor is lined with vaulted ceilings and barred windows, creating an atmosphere of confinement and isolation. At the time, Newgate Prison was criticized for its inadequate conditions, with many calling for longer sentences to be served in more modern prisons. The perpetual excitement and assemblage of criminals of the most flagrant nature made Newgate an undesirable prison for extended periods of confinement. The print provides a glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of the harsh realities of the penal system during the Victorian era. The image, although engraved, retains a raw and unfiltered quality, transporting us back in time and inviting us to reflect on the history of criminal justice in Britain.
