Health and Disability in Convict Sydney Historic/Heritage

health_and_disability_in_convict_sydney

This system both secured new territory and relieved the overcrowded British prison system, and the health of prisoners was a constant concern.

This talk will use some of the immense volume of colonial administrative paperwork to illuminate experiences of individual prisoners with variable health and permanent disabilities. How did these factors affect their fates in the colonies? How did the British and colonial administrations respond?
