In the mid-1980s radical photographer Carlos Guarita gained access to two youth detention centres, Glenochil and Kirklevington Grange, part of the ‘short, sharp, shock’ system introduced in 1979 by the Tory Home Secretary, Willie Whitelaw. Through a fascinating series of images supported by the insights of detainee Colin Adamson this exhibition exposes the living conditions for inmates subject to the harsh, quasi-military discipline.
Carlos Guarita and Colin Adamson will guide us through the exhibition at 12:30pm.
