Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. WINNER, Margaret Scott Prize, Best Book by a Tasmanian Writer In October 1827, nine convicts who had endured years of unimaginable cruelty at the hands of the system opted for 'state-assisted' escape. Five terrified witnesses - their hands and feet bound - were forced to watch as the chaine…d convicts seized Constable George Rex and drowned him in the tannin-stained waters of the harbour. When the sentence of death was pronounced upon them, the condemned prisoners uttered just one word in reply: Amen.For twelve long years between 1822 and 1834, Sarah Island in Macquarie Harbour was the most feared place in Australia. Clinging to the shores of the wild west coast of Tasmania and hemmed in on all sides by rugged uncharted wilderness, the environment itself formed the prison walls that confined the unfortunate convict re-offenders who were sent there. But the conditions were so brutal that many went mad, or chose death or a very uncertain escape into the bush rather than spend their time in this notorious place.Based on detailed accounts from the time, Closing Hell's Gates contains dozens of personal stories of the harsh and unforgiving life that people were forced to lead, both as convict and overseer, and in so doing reveals some startling insights about human nature when it is pushed to extremes. Based on an elaborate reconstruction of day-to-day life at Macquarie Harbour, one of Australia's most notorious sites of convict punishment, this is the true story of how, in 1827, nine convicts opted for 'state-assisted' escape (the death sentence) rather than endure the hardships and privations of the penal settlement on Sarah Island. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. George Arthur, Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land from 1824-1836, is credited with constructing an intricate system of convict management. The idea behind Arthur's grand plan…was that convicts would sink or rise through the tiers of his multi-layered system according to their conduct. Thus, the intention was that the wicked would be punished for their sins and the good rewarded for unerring servile toil. In 1830, Arthur ordered the construction of a new penal station on the Tasman Peninsula named Port Arthur in his honour. This was to be the foundation stone of Arthur's scheme of regulating the lives of his colonial charges - a place to which prisoners who incurred the wrath of the convict administration could be sent as a lesson to all. Arthur likened his convict system to prison without walls. This was because the lives of ordinary prisoners were regulated by paperwork rather than guard towers and iron bars. Every detail that could be gleaned about a convict was entered into a set of enormous registers, which were used to separate those considered worthy of indulgence from those whose conduct was thought to merit further punishment. At times, Arthur appeared to sit astride his system like a colonial puppet master, pronouncing judgment on his charges. This book charts the lives of 52 prisoners who served time at Port Arthur in the 1830s. It examines the impact of transportation on their lives and charts how they negotiated passage through Arthur's labyrinthine penal colony. (back cover).
