  • Rights, Responsibilities and Religion in a Mid-Victorian Convict Prison
    Rights, Responsibilities and Religion in a mid-Victorian convict prison Dr David J. Cox∗ Abstract This article investigates the rights and responsibilities of both a prison governor and a prison chaplain in a Victorian Convict Prison. Major Hickey and Reverend Francis served respectively as Governor and Chaplain of HMP Dartmoor in the early 1870s and developed a mutual feeling of irreconcilable resentment following a clash of personalities and ideas regarding the management and punishment of male convicts in one of the most notorious of all Victorian English convict prisons. It details the causes and repercussions of the ensuing argument that led to Reverend Francis resigning his post and complaining directly to the Director of Convict Prisons about both his treatment and that of the convicts under his spiritual care. The paper relates this personal argument to the wider philosophical debates over late-Victorian penal policies that were becoming known to a larger audience thanks to both the publication of numerous prison enquiry reports and the published autobiographies of a number of erudite and well-educated middle-class convicts which proliferated during the period in question. Keywords: Prison, convict, governance, chaplaincy, penal servitude I. BACKGROUND Convict prisons were the punishment of choice for those found guilty of serious indictable offences following the gradual ending of transportation to Australia from the early 1850s. The Penal Servitude Act 1853 (16 & 17 Vict c.99) had restricted the use of transportation to those sentenced to fourteen years or more, and the subsequent Penal Servitude Act 1857 (20 & 21 Vict c.3) had effectively abolished the sentence of transportation for the majority of even the most serious offenders.1 Transportation was replaced by a sentence of penal servitude; this involved imprisonment, originally for a minimum of three years, but later increased to five ∗ Reader in Criminal Justice History Law Research Centre, University of Wolverhampton; [email protected].
