Vista do laboratorio, Wormwood Scrubs Prision em East Acton , London

Wormwood Scrubs is a Category B British local prison (i.e. an establishment that receives prisoners from the courts, either on remand or after sentencing). It is located on the south of Wormwood Scrubs in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It was built in the 1880s, using prison labour. Until 1902, it housed both male and female prisoners. It currently has accommodation for 1256 prisoners in five wings. There have been numerous disturbances and protest acts in the prison's history. In 1979 there was a rooftop protest over visiting rights staged by IRA prisoners. In the rioting, 60 inmates and several prison officers were injured. In 1982, an inquiry into the rioting blamed much of the difficulties on failings in the prison management. The prison governor, John McCarthy, had quit before the rioting. He had described Wormwood Scrubs as a "penal dustbin" in a letter to The Times.

That isn't much of a view from the lab! I am glad to know what a prision is, though... I always wondered. How are you doing?
