HMP Holloway was a women's prison located in London, England. It opened in 1852 and was primarily designed to house female offenders. The facility was known for its focus on rehabilitation and education, offering various programs to help inmates reintegrate into society. In 2016, HMP Holloway closed its doors, marking the end of over 160 years of operation. The closure was part of a broader strategy to reduce the female prison population in the UK. The site has since been redeveloped for housing and community use, reflecting changing attitudes towards incarceration and rehabilitation.
