Abstract
In contrast to the detailed histories of the convict penal system in Australia before 1867, it is argued that there is much less known about imprisonment in this country in the subsequent 100 years. Some important phenomena in that period are addressed, in order to emphasise the diversity of prison regimes and prisoner experience. The article concludes by commenting on a number of different documents of prison life, to suggest how texts about the prison are importantly related to the maintenance of a public political discourse and conflict over the purposes and effects of imprisonment.
