I do enjoy browsing the #1939Register & making interesting discoveries.

Here's the latest one - HM Prison Dartmoor + its inmates. It's striking that a lot of them were casual/general labourers by profession. Poorly-paid, unskilled work...makes me wonder if poverty made them turn to #crime.

Indeed, records show that some of them were jailed for theft/fraud. But there's one inmate who went on to be a bit more infamous. Ten points if you can tell me who!
