Drawing

The prison museum’s collection includes 17 drawings the size of a postcard. The drawings depict early 20th century prison work activities from horse care to painting cell beds. In this drawing, a prisoner is baking round rye bread. The prisoner is wearing the trousers of a grey and black striped uniform. This prison uniform was in use until 1951. The drawings may have been made in the Konnunsuo prison. Some of the cards have the author’s signature “U. Willgrén” and the year 1924.
