= Pentridge: Voices From the Other Side =

Pentridge: Voices from the Other Side, is a photo essay and social history by Rupert Mann and published by Scribe Publications. The book contains interviews with, and photographic portraits of, fifteen former inmates and staff of the now decommissioned Pentridge Prison, in Melbourne, Australia. The author invited members of this last generation of former prisoners and prison officers to return to Pentridge and be photographed in the cells and halls they once spent time in, and to speak about their memories of life inside Pentridge.

The book is an attempt to ensure that the true and brutal story of Pentridge Prison is not buried during its redevelopment as a housing estate.

The book was written over a period of 6 years between 2008 and 2013, with the photography undertaken between 2008 and 2011.

It was published in Nov 2017.
