Australia Locked Up - John Nicholson

$29.95

From King Lash to Razor Wire, the story of Australia's First Fleet to today.
Our prisons, detention centres and camps have housed convicts, prisoners of war, Aborigines, women, children, refugees and asylum seekers.  Brutal floggings, hangings, the stocks and the treadmill are part of the story; so are pardons, evening classes and picnics for prisoners.  
                               
Packed with information, and prompting fundamental questions about our society, Australia Locked Up is stern but illuminating reading.
