Women inmates at Kingston Penitentiary, at the turn of the century
Black and white photograph of two women inmates at Kingston Penitentiary, in the early 20th century. The women appear to be standing outside their cells in this photograph as the cell bars can be seen behind the head of the women in the foreground. This woman appears to be holding a bowl in her hand. The second woman in the background appears to be holding a cane. Both women are dressed in plain, long dresses with their hair pulled back.
