Description
The Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act 1913 is commonly referred to as The Cat and Mouse Act. It was passed in 1913 under the Liberal government as a response to members of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) using hunger strikes as a form of protest while in prison. The Cat and Mouse Act allowed for prisoners to be released due to ill health. Once health had been regained, they would then be rearrested and sent back to prison to complete their sentence. This iconic poster was produced by the Women’s Social and Political Union and first appeared in May 1914. A great addition to the door of any fridge!
