Absolutely brilliant exhibition at the MAC focussing on the persistence of Victorian prisons. Well done Prof Dominique Moran 💙, Yvonne Jewkes and team, as well everyone who contributed their experiences!

So lucky to be at the opening of this extraordinary exhibition tonight. Moving, enlightening, enraging, uplifting, and profoundly sad, it deserves to be seen by many.

We can but hope
