Original Note:
The guardian article referenced states that the photo is from Wyndham prison, and shows a guard with criminals. Neck shackles were commonplace in 1901 prisons. The image is provocative implying systemic slavery of Australian First Nations, which is not supported by fact. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Australia https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jun/19/the-legacy-reverberates-how-a-repulsive-image-reminds-us-of-our-ugly-past
