Hobart's Cascade Female Factory is an intimidating place. My Great Great Grandmother went through this system in the 1830's. It was quite an experience to walk where she walked.

Cascade Female Factory:
The Cascades Female Factory is Australia’s most significant historic site associated with female convicts. It was a purpose built, self-contained institution intended to reform female convicts and is the place to discover the stories of Australia’s convict women.
Thousands of women and children were imprisoned here, and many never left, due to high rates of illness and infant mortality. Visiting the site today can be both emotional and rewarding, creating a connection with the stories of female convicts in Australia and their children – stories that are often tragic, but that also inspire hope and resilience.
It is located in South Hobart, a short distance from the Hobart waterfront and CBD

The Port Arthur convict photographs 1870s
This report from ABC journalist Siobhan Heanue is full of errors on her part, and full of false claims and downright lies from her interviewee Edwin Barnard, the so-called author of a recent publication from the National Library of Australia called EXILED which features 20 mugshots of Tasmanian prisoners taken in the 1870s by commercial and police photographer Thomas J. NEVIN (1842-1923).
See this review at the NEVIN weblog(s):
The journalist Siobhan Heanue states that these men were photographed at the Port Arthur gaol in the 1850s. WRONG: they were photographed by T. J. NEVIN at the Hobart Gaol (the city prison) between 1871 and 1878.
The interviewee Edwin Barnard claims these police mugshots were hidden until hediscovered and unearthed them. WRONG: these mugshots were exhibited at the QVMAG Launceston Tas in 1977, and have been online at the National Library of Australia, and at the Archives Office of Tasmania since the early 1990s, and now also online at the QVMAG. Barnard and his sponsors the NLA liberally appropriated materials from the NEVIN weblogs written by Nevin descendants who analysed these mugshots online in 2005, and continue to provide accurate research based on AUTHENTIC documents. Barnard is no better than the thieves he fawns over in these mugshots
