A mug shot, or booking photograph, is a photographic portrait taken after one is arrested, to allow law enforcement to have a photographic record of the arrested individual to allow for identification by victims and investigators.
Most mug shots are two part, with one side view photo, and one front view.
The mug shot was invented by Allan Pinkerton, a famous U.S. detective of the 19th Century. The Pinkerton National Detective Agency first began using these on Wanted posters from the Wild West days. By the 1870s the agency had amassed the largest collection of mug shots in the United States.
The paired arrangement may have been inspired by the 1865 prison portraits taken by Alexander Gardner of accused conspirators in the Lincoln assassination trial, though Gardner photographs were full body portraits with only the heads turned for the profile shots.
Prior to the advent of computer technology, the accused was asked to hold a card with his name, the date, and other relevant information on it. In recent years, digital photography is used for the booking process, and the accused is no longer asked to hold the card while the photo is taken.
In America, a federal inmate is a person convicted for violating a federal law, who is then interred at a prison that exclusively houses similar criminals. The term is most often apply to those convicted of a felony.
The Inmates are a British garage rock pub rock band formed after the split up of The Flying Tigers in 1977. In the early 1980s they had a medium sized international hit with a cover of The Standells Dirty Water.
1981 the lead singer Bill Hurley became ill following a breakdown and his place was taken for some time by Barrie Masters who had recently split with Eddie and the Hot Rods.
The Inmates continued to record and tour with Barrie until he decided to reform the Hot Rods and Bill Hurley was well enough to return to his rightful place fronting the Inmates.
In 1987 The Inmates recorded Meet The Beatles, a live album of Beatles cover versions songs.
It has been re released on CD with bonus cuts including a live version of Dirty Water.
One of The Inmates songs, So Much In Love was covered by the pseudo 60 band The Lonely Boys in the mid 1990.
The Inmates are still working and touring especially in continental Europe. After 30 years, they still have four of the original five band members, and continue to play both original songs and covers.
A view is what can be seen in a range of vision. View may also be used as a synonym of point of view in the first sense. View may also be used figuratively or with special significance, to imply a scenic outlook or significant vantage point.
