What the convicts tell us about prisons

Description: Do you have a convict ancestor? Imagine standing trial in the Old Bailey and waiting for the sentence: either a British jail or transportation to Australia. The convicts had no way of knowing whether they’d be better off in Britain or the new penal colony. But armed with the historical record,  criminologists can now make a judgement. They can also compare the effectiveness of the convict system and modern prisons.
