Suffragette prisoners in Holloway Prison

Surveillance image of Suffragettes exercising in the yard of Holloway prison. The photograph is one in a series of undercover surveillance photographs taken by a photographer hiding in a van in the yard.
The two Suffragettes in the foreground are identified as Rachel Peace on the left and Maud Brindley on the right.
It is likely the photograph was taken whilst Peace (who used the alias Jane Short) was serving a 6 month sentence in the second division for window breaking and Maud Brindley, a married Suffragette was serving a 5 month imprisonment in the second division for causing damage to the premises of T Lloyd and Company. Both women were sentenced in February 1913 for these separate offences.
Scotland Yard commissioned the surveillance photography of the most 'dangerous' suffragettes from 1913. The images were used to identify suffragettes attempting to enter public buildings such as museums and art galleries, where they might attempt to cause damage.
