EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant print captures a moment in history that sheds light on the often overlooked lives of prison babies. Taken in 1909 at Holloway prison, a women-only institution, the image shows a baby being weighed upon its admission to the facility. Holloway was unique in that it provided care for babies who were either born there or were under three months old when their mothers were incarcerated.
The offspring of these imprisoned women slept in cots within their mothers' cells, with nurses overseeing their care and welfare. It was not uncommon for these babies to stay with their mothers until they reached nine months of age, at which point they would leave the prison.
This photograph serves as an important reminder of the hardships faced by both incarcerated women and their children throughout history. It highlights the challenges faced by those who are caught up in the criminal justice system, shedding light on a little-known aspect of prison life.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the importance of compassion and understanding towards those who find themselves behind bars - especially when innocent children are involved. The legacy of these "prison babies" is one that should not be forgotten.
