    Sydney landmark gets VELUX SKYLIGHTS VELUX turns a dark past INTO A BRIGHT FUTURE The old Darlinghurst Gaol was converted in the early 1920s to become the East Sydney Technical College – now the National Art School. The largest building on the site, the gaol workshops, had been empty since 2005 when major renovations started in 2014. VELUX skylights were an integral part of the solution, explain CEO Michael Snelling and COO Sue Procter... Leaking roof, little light From gaol workshops to art workshops “We are the largest non-university art school in “We wanted to convert the old gaol workshops to the country and since 2005 the sole occupant modern workshops for our art students,” Michael of the old Darlinghurst Gaol site,” says Michael. continues. “At the southern end, the building was “The largest building on the campus – the old gaol used by a cooking school up until 2005 and the workshops – hadn’t been in use for almost 10 years VELUX skylights were installed where the cooking when renovations began in 2014.

For the prison developer, whether Government or Private sector, locating and constructing correctional facilities in non-metropolitan regions makes sense for economic and practical reasons. Land in rural areas, particularly in economically depressed rural areas, is typically less expensive than the cost of land in cities. It is also easier in rural areas for a prison to be sited and to operate away from townships. Such a siting makes escapes and land-use conflict less likely problems for the operators of the correctional facility. The attractiveness of economically depressed non- metropolitan regions for prison development authorities has been further enhanced when many such regions actually become willing to host a correctional facility, and in many cases, are aggressively competitive with other regions in their pursuit of such a facility.

  • 1 INTRODUCTION the Australian Poet, Henry Lawson, Referred To
    INTRODUCTION The Australian poet, Henry Lawson, referred to Darlinghurst Gaol in his poem “One Hundred and Three” as “Starvinghurst Goal” where prisoners were kept alone in dark cells and starved. This is the stereotype of the Victorian era gaol, whereas reality was quite different after the reforms initiated by New South Wales politician, Henry Parkes. His Select Committee of 1861 found the food in New South Wales gaols to be abundant, good and wholesome by contrast. There is also a contrasting reality for death rates in these gaols. The aim of this thesis is to show the reality of causes of death in the late Victorian era gaols by comparing the death rates and causes of death in Darlinghurst Gaol, Sydney’s main gaol from 1841 to 1914 and Auburn State Prison, the oldest existing prison in the New York State prison system, dating from 1817. Auburn Correctional Facility, as it is now known, gave its name to the “Auburn System” which included being the first institution to use separate cells for inmates, congregate work during the day, enforced silence, lockstep walking, striped uniforms and the use of the lash, or corporal punishment, as a form of punishment. It was the focus of great interest in penology and influenced the subsequent construction of many similar prisons in the USA and overseas. There has been no previous analysis of the records on the various causes of death in Victorian era gaols or the death rates in these gaols and no comparative study of gaol 1 death rates to the relevant general population to see if they were better or worse (worse being the popular perception prior to the results of the research involved in this thesis).
