Vintage Mugshots from the 1920's

An interesting bunch of characters that that were pretty well dressed considering their circumstances. Kind of reminds me of the book "The Fatal Shore" but the later version. Some of the attached news captions are also interesting to read.

That is pretty interesting. Much better dressed than the "thugs" of today! That one woman definitely looks like a dude. And #8 has some rad hair...

Epic hair!

On the whole, criminals were snazzy dressers back then and knew how to put on a pair of pants.
