exhibition: images of incarceration
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.While one prison inmate is on 24-hour lock-down in a strip cell, another prisoner is playing tennis. Ursula Smartt's journey around the penitentiaries of the world has produced a unique insight into the enormous disparity in regimes from one jail to another.
A German-born former Glasgow PE teacher, Smartt became a radio presenter in Hull before turning to academia. She is now a senior lecturer in the School of Law at Thames Valley University, and an adviser to the Prison Service on jail conditions.
An exhibition of her photography, Images of Incarceration, will be opened by the former chief inspector of prisons, Sir Stephen Tumim (below), on Monday (18 Jan) at 7.30pm.
St Mary's Road, Ealing, London W5 (tickets in advance: 0181-231 2779) Mon-28 Feb
