If you have lived or worked in a Victorian-era prison, we would like to hear from you.
Take part in this project

Unfortunately, we cannot speak to current HMPPS employees, or people on licence.
What is involved
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, interviews will be carried out via telephone or video call (e.g. Zoom), at a date and time convenient to you.
During the interview, we would ask you:
- Your memories of living or working in a Victorian-era prison
- What the building was like, and how this changed over time
- Positive and negative aspects of Victorian-era prisons
