Bangladesh’s 75 prisons are holding 98,233 inmates against a combined capacity of 45,186, more than double the designed limit, putting severe pressure on accommodation and healthcare.

In the 1700s, there lived an Italian artist, architect, and archaeologist who saw in the world far more than what was in it. Giovanni Battista Piranesi captured his world, among other things, through prints: the most famous of which are the Views, an imitation of the classical remains of Rome, and the imaginary renditions of the Prisons.
