Hi HMP Badges,
In reply to the observations you made regarding prisons trying to have a unique badge rather then standardised ones.I have only ever seen London prisons having individual badges.Another anomally is that I am sure you are aware of is that some London prison staff wore uniform without any insignia at all even as late as post 1880's.
Here is a badge from my collection from Holloway prison.I have also seen ones of a London debtors prison and probably the most notorious prison ever the infamous Newgate.
Hwyl
