English: Prisoners using the laundry facilities at the new female division of Boggo Road Gaol, Brisbane, 1903.
Interior view of prisoners working in the laundry at the new women's prison. The inmates are washing in tubs lining the wall as others sort through linen in a separate area in the background. Laundry baskets can be seen on the floor to the left. A superviser, standing in the middle of the photograph, is overseeing the work. 'In the laundry a big wash was in progress, and, judging by the whiteness of the linen seen in the ironing room there must be some good laundresses amongst the inmates... The laundry is a beautifully cool and well ventilated room, containing eight fixed tubs, to which both pipe water and soft water are supplied by taps. There are four large washing coppers set in brickwork and cement, and these are provided with canopy-shaped ventilators. There are seven large windows, and two double doors. The latter are of iron, and the windows, like all the others in the establishment, are secured with massive iron bars' (Information taken from: The Queenslander, 28 November, 1903, pp. 21, 22). |
