This talk shines a light on an important institution within our historic criminal justice system which has been hiding in plain sight: the local lock-up. Hundreds of historic lock-ups survive in villages and towns across England and Wales.
Using information collected on these surviving lock-ups together with evidence of those demolished long ago - available at prisonhistory.org - this talk will explore some key trends in the rise and fall of the parish lock-up across the 18th and 19th centuries.
