The Whitecross Street Prison for debtors, London, 1843. Two interior views of the refuge for the destitute at Whitecross Street Prison, showing the male and female wards. The women and children are upstairs, with wooden cots along one wall. The scene is gloomy and miserable, and there are no-smoking signs.
