Inhoud:

In 1835 journalist Henry Saxelby Melville (1799â1873) was jailed for contempt of court over his coverage of a trial in Van Diemen's Land, Australia. He used this time to write a critical account of the colony's history and prison system, which was smuggled to England and published in 1835.
