Here's another wonderful tool to finding ancestors.  There's over 4,000 prisoner records online from rioting, breach of trust to more serious charges - Unfortunately my smuggler wasn't amongst them  Undecided

Hi Rena, thanks for posting this link, it's excellent.
I paid a visit to the jail last month and was most impressed, spent almost 3 hours there.

The charge was  - Drunk and refusing to fight.
On appeal I had my sentence reduced to being handcuffed to a black pudding for a fortnight.
