An artwork in the style of the artist Banksy, depicting an escaping prisoner, has appeared on a wall of Reading Prison. The site, which was where Oscar Wilde was imprisoned in the 1890s for 'indecency', and was immortalised in his poem 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol', has its future in doubt, lying vacant since 2013. The artist has yet to claim responsibility for the work.
