  • A Prisoner Story: the Third Turkey
    A PRISONER STORY: THE THIRD TURKEY G. David Curry: Professor Emeritus, University Of Missouri-St. Louis, USA Many men on their release carry their prison about with them into the air, and hide it as a secret disgrace in their hearts, and at length, like poor poisoned things, creep into some hole and die. It is wretched that they should have to do so, and it is wrong, terribly wrong, of society that it should force them to do so. Oscar Wilde, 2011, De Profundis Kindle Edition, Golgotha Press. Locations 175-177. A Bus Ride The night was one of those nights when I wasn’t sure if I slept at all. I was excited. Something was going to change, but I didn’t know exactly what or how. The only person whom I was able to reach by phone on the day that I found out that I was going to be moved was my friend Jane. Prison phone calls are like that. There is no leaving of messages. There is no making two calls without stressing potentially fatal line etiquette. I could only hope that Jane, whose own husband was incarcerated would be able to reach my ever stalwartly protective attorney Arthur Madden. I was a pro bono case for Arthur, but that was not a qualification affecting his actions on my behalf. As I hopelessly tried to sleep, I distinctly remember the shadow of prison bars on the top bunk a few feet away. The shadow of the bars were a stark reminder that I was caged in what e.e.

  • Understanding the Convict Lease System: the Longer Life of Alabama Black Enslavement
    Understanding the Convict Lease System: The Longer Life of Alabama Black Enslavement By Sarah Carmack. 2020. All rights reserved by author. Anti-Emancipation in the South Alabama had the nation’s longest-running system of Convict Leasing, made legal from 1846 until 1928. In the decades before the Civil War, the state leased white prisoners to private individuals for profit to the state. Prior to Emancipation, Black men and women were not brought into a formal criminal justice system or prison system. They were either unjustly punished by enslavers or killed for alleged crimes by local mobs. The effects of state prison practices would rise and spread throughout the Southern Black community after Emancipation. Convict Leasing is one of the least understood and most dangerous systems of Black oppression in the post-Civil War South and was disguised and accepted as a perpetual and necessary source of revenue for local and state governments. In Alabama, profitability sent most forced-work prisoners underground to coal mines with a high chance they would not return alive. During many periods of this long-practiced horror, one in ten men did not survive forced prison work. Understanding this history makes us even more watchful of current prison policy and work practices in a state that incarcerates the third largest prison population in the U.S. with no sign of decrease. Loop Holes, Black Codes, and a New Imprisonment A broken, oppressive economic system created a broken civil war and backfired on the former Confederate South – industry and agriculture were in a post-Civil War shambles.

  • The Convict Ship Hashemy at Port Phillip: a Case Study in Historical Error
    The Convict Ship Hashemy at Port Phillip: a Case Study in Historical Error Douglas Wilkie Abstract The story of the convict ship Hashemy arriving at Sydney in June 1849 after being turned away from Melbourne has been repeated by many professional, amateur and popular historians. The arrival of the Hashemy, and subsequent anti-convict protest meetings in Sydney, not only became a turning point in the anti-transportation movement in Australia, but also added to an already existing antagonism on the part of Sydney towards its colonial rival, Port Phillip, or Melbourne. This article will demonstrate that the story of the Hashemy being turned away from Port Phillip is based upon a fallacy; investigates how that fallacy developed and was perpetuated over a period of 160 years; and demonstrates that some politicians and historians encouraged this false interpretation of history, effectively extending the inter-colonial discontent that began in the 1840s into the 20th century and beyond. HIS ARTICLE WILL SHOW that the story of the convict ship Hashemy being turned away from Melbourne and sent to Sydney Tin 1849—an account repeated by many historians—is based upon a fallacy. The article investigates how that fallacy developed and was perpetuated by historians over a period of 160 years, and demonstrates that politicians and historians used this false interpretation of history to feed an enduring antagonism felt by Sydney towards its colonial rival, Port Phillip 31 32 Victorian Historical Journal Vol. 85, No. 1, June 2014 or Melbourne. The wider implications of this case study touch upon the credibility given to historians in their interpretations of historical events.
