Letters from boys in Borstal centres

Correspondence from boys who Lady Plowden had visited as part of evidence gathering visits for the final report. Many boys continued to correspond with Lady Plowden for several years after the visits.

A borstal was a type of youth detention centre in the United Kingdom 1908 - 1932. The Criminal Justice Act 1982 abolished the borstal system in the UK, introducing youth custody centres instead.
