Holloway Prison for Women was rebuilt in the expectation that it would revolutionize the treatment of female offenders. However, the new regime housed in the new building became notorious. Reconstructing a Women's Prison describes the changes in penal ideology and conceptions of women's criminality as they fed into the design of this new prison in the 1970s and 80s.
