Correspondence

Note, there may be some crossover with correspondence file BP 25, which contains more informal correspondence with a large number of individuals and organisations, some of which relate to organisations which Lady Plowden had previously, or would later, hold official positions with.

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.

This file is closed in line with the requirements of the UK's Data Protection Act, but redacted copies of some original documents may be available to researchers on request.
