This project aims to explore the impact that penal reforms had on the diet and health of convicts on land and at sea. It intends to establish the extent to which the remarkable record of health amongst prisoners transported to Australia (monthly death rates were half those for fare paying trans-Atlantic passengers) can be attributed to their treatment prior to embarkation. The project aims to result in new ways of communicating history to diverse audiences using innovative data visualisations.

该项目旨在探讨刑罚改革对陆上和海上罪犯的饮食和健康的影响。它打算确定被运往澳大利亚的囚犯的健康状况良好（月死亡率是支付票价的跨大西洋乘客的一半）在多大程度上可归因于他们在上船前所受的待遇。该项目旨在通过创新的数据可视化技术，找到向不同受众传播历史的新方式。
