From the cells

Working in a prison cell today has given me a real insight into the life of lord william beauchamp nevill and his time in various prisons at the turn of the century Md during the 1920s.

The space its self very quickly becomes almost part of you. You feel the safety of the four walls as well as the claustrophobia.  The walls are there to define you. You are a prisoner. Kept apart from the world but also to keep the world away from you.

It is quiet bar the sound of the water pipes and the muted sound of voices. I can hear people but not what they are saying. It adds to the sense of isolation. It leaves you wondering whether they will come to you or will you be left. A reminder of that fact the world continues without you.
You have stepped away from home and society. It will continue to change with out you as you will. When the two come back together, home and self, both will be different.
