About the book
Taken over the course of more than a year of exclusive access, this fascinating look at the world of the prison lifer' applies large format still life photography to the context of a unique prison community: E Wing at Kingston Prison in Portsmouth. For eight years this was Britain's only wing dedicated to holding elderly lifers - murderers, rapists, paedophiles and other violent criminals from their late fifties to over 80 years old. But it is more than reportage - elements of metaphor and abstraction explore the passage of time, ageing and physical decline of man and cell.'
