Youths in handcuffs for charity
Three gap year students have walked 25km (15.5 miles) dressed in prison overalls and handcuffed to each other to raise funds for African prisoners.
Rowan Emslie and Tom Loan, both 18, and Rowan Hunter, 19, walked from Putney Bridge to Hampton Court to raise money for African Prisons Project.
The volunteers will spend six months in Kampala, Uganda, working in and around the prisons with the charity.
The students will help to build and stock prison libraries and sickbays.
The charity says African prisoners are often the victims of injustice and suffer from overcrowding, a lack of clothes and bedding, and poor sanitation in jails.
Mr Emslie, from Kingston, south-west London, said: "We wanted to show the prisoners' plight so we're handcuffed and dressed in overalls and we're only eating one bowl of rice with water all day.
"So many of the prisoners are about our age but unlike us they have had no chance in life.
"They have missed out on everything we take for granted, like education."
Mr Emslie, Mr Loan, from Surbiton, and Mr Hunter, from Teddington, in south-west London, will leave for Kampala next week.
