Weighing a baby on its admission to Holloway prison. Holloway was a women-only prison where babies who were either born there or were under three months when their mothers were jailed, were cared for. Offspring slept in cots within their mother's cell, with nurses overseeing the babies care and welfare. At nine months of age the baby would then leave the prison.
