For VICE’s True Crime issue, Magnum Photos was kind enough to let us look through their dizzying archives for unpublished photos of the UK’s criminal element. We came across a folder of slides from Chris Steele-Perkins’s 1980 project on Manchester’s infamous prison, Strangeways, now officially renamed HM Prison Manchester (not nearly as good a name, if you ask us).
Steele-Perkins’s iconic work on the UK’s urban plight of the late 70s, and his genre-defining 1979 book The Teds, places him among the greats of British photography—so it was especially nice to get to print these previously unpublished portraits.
