Incarcerated - Contemporary Photography From the Victorian Prison

Ninety prisons were opened or significantly expanded between 1842 and 1877. More than 30 of them are still in use today, holding, between them, around a quarter of the UK's prison population. This article is about Incarcerated, a new book by Andy Aitchison, the UK's foremost prison photographer. Every image is taken inside Britain's Victorian-era prisons.
