## Caption

1813: Elizabeth Fry walked into Newgate Prison’s women’s wing against the guards’ warnings. Over 300 women and children were crammed into filthy rooms — she watched a mother strip clothes from her dead infant to dress a living one.

She kept coming back for decades. In 1823, the law changed.
