![[Brixton Prison] Tread Mill. 41.](jpegs/61087.jpg)
[Brixton Prison] Tread Mill. 41.
[n.d., c.1825.]
Engraving. Sheet 90 x 125mm (3½ x 5"). Trimmed and laid on album paper, old ink mss. 'Brixton. 1823'.
An outside treadmill, sheltered by a roof, driven by 10 prisoners. Brixton Prison was opened in 1820 and quickly earned a reputation as one of the worst prisons in London, with its small cells overcrowded. This mill for corn was installed the following year. During the 1860s the social reformer Edward Smith (1819-1874), who participated in the first govennment-sponsored survey of food consumption in low-income families, complained that the prisoners were maltreated because they received no additional food while toiling on the exhausting 'punitive treadmill'.
For larger sizes see 25105 & 23651 for uncut state.
