Historic and contemporary studies show that most prisoners experience severe health inequalities, higher rates of addiction and mental health issues, and lower life expectancy than the rest of the population. They also come from deprived social strata. Yet, these aspects of Irish penal history have been largely neglected in academia and popular histories. Our article discusses two public history projects\u2014an art installation, <jats:italic>The Trial<\/jats:italic>, and a museum exhibition, <jats:italic>Living Inside<\/jats:italic>\u2014that engaged different publics with the long history of health and welfare in Irish prisons. Developed by the research team on the Wellcome Trust Investigator Award \u201cPrisoners, Medical Care and Entitlement to Health in England and Ireland, 1850-2000,\u201d based at University College Dublin, the projects adopted different methodologies to engage their audiences and explore the experience and management of health and welfare in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Irish prisons. We further examine the different methodological approaches of each project, their varied aims and audiences, and the impacts reported by audiences and participants. The article also considers some of the challenges of doing this kind of public history, both in terms of working with marginalized communities and presenting research about difficult subjects to various audiences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10912-022-09761-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,22]],"date-time":"2022-10-22T07:02:42Z","timestamp":1666422162000},"page":"73-89","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["\u201cIt Has Made Me Think\u201d: Engaging the Public with the History of Health in the Modern Irish Prison"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"44","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9865-420X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine","family":"Cox","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7423-3689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ois\u00edn","family":"Wall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,22]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"Anonymous. 1973a. \u201cPrisoners in Roof Sit-Down.\u201d Irish Independent, September 15, 1973: 1.","key":"9761_CR1"},{"unstructured":"----. 1973b. \u201cLetter from Portlaoise\u2014Hoping for a New Deal.\u201d Evening Herald, September 8, 1973: 6.","key":"9761_CR2"},{"unstructured":"----. 1973c. \u201cHistory of the Portlaoise Prisoners\u2019 Union.\u201d Jail Journal 1 (1): 8\u20139.","key":"9761_CR3"},{"unstructured":"----. 1973d. \u201cPrison Union Leaders Moved.\u201d Irish Independent, November 12, 1973: 12.","key":"9761_CR4"},{"unstructured":"----. 1974. \u201cDemands of the Portlaoise Prisoners\u2019 Union (Smuggled out on 8\/5\/\u201973).\u201d Jail Journal 1 (5): 2.","key":"9761_CR5"},{"unstructured":"----. 1975a. \u201cThe P.RO. & Karl Crawley v The State.\u201d Jail Journal 1 (8): 3\u20134.","key":"9761_CR6"},{"unstructured":"----. 1975b. \u201cCourt Picket Win Appeal.\u201d The Irish Press, November 12, 1975: 5.","key":"9761_CR7"},{"unstructured":"----. 1986. \u201cPrison Watch on Fatal Virus.\u201d Irish Independent, December 29, 1986: 1.","key":"9761_CR8"},{"unstructured":"----. n.d. \u201cKarl Alexander Crawley v Ireland, Appendix 2: Curriculum Vitae.\u201d Office of the Attorney General.
