Pre-Victorian Prisons
• More than 200 offences resulted in the death penalty (including murder, rape, and treason).
• Offences not punished by death (such as theft) often resulted in being sent to the colonies as a convict, known as ‘Transportation’.
• Prisons were most often used to house minor offenders, such as debtors
• Prisons were established wherever room could be found: cellars, dungeons, old castles, and in London even disused ships in the docks.
• Prison was fee paying: prisoners paid for food and lodging, and could improve their experience according to price.

Victorian Prison Reform
• New prisons were built across the country to ease overcrowding, using uniform ‘Panopticon’-inspired architecture.
• Prison was increasingly seen as a ‘corrective’ measure – to punish and reform the prisoner into a good person through hard work.
• Prisoners were segregated and almost entirely isolated.
• Prisoners were kept in silence, to help them ‘reflect’ on their crimes.
• Prisoners were made to do hard labour, often pointless.
• Debtors were removed to special ‘Debtors’ prisons’ or Workhouses, where they would work to pay back their debts; their families would often come and work with them.

Autralian Convicts
• 1788-1868: about 162,000 convicts ‘transported’ to Australia
• Most convicts were guilty of relatively petty crimes like theft, or were political prisoners
• Convicts were usually imprisoned for a certain period, and then made to work on public works: constructing roads, buildings, and rearing livestock.
• Convicts were often ‘assigned’ to work for free settlers.
• Convicts slept and ate at convict depots, or barracks.
• From 1849, convicts were allowed to work where they liked, though had to remain in the district they were assigned.
• Women convicts were generally put to work in factories, or as domestic servants.
• After their sentence was finished, a convict could be issued with an ‘absolute pardon’, which meant they could return to Europe, or a ‘conditional pardon’ which meant they had to promise to remain in Australia.
• Convicts were strongly encouraged to marry other convicts, so as to increase the free settler population.
