The impact of solitary confinement on convicts, 1817-1853

该项目旨在探索单独监禁对1817年至1853年间被送往澳大利亚的72,500名囚犯的健康和福祉的影响。它将通过将这些男性和女性的详细生命史与塔斯马尼亚19世纪机构的精神病学入院数据联系起来。该项目的成果将为政策提供信息，并增加对澳大利亚教科文组织世界登记在册罪犯记忆记录的在线访问。该项目的成果将有助于了解与不同类型和比率的单独监禁暴露相关的风险。

This project aims to explore the impact of solitary confinement on the health and well-being of 72,500 convicts transported to Australia between 1817 and 1853. It will do so by linking detailed life course histories for these men and women to psychiatric admission data for Tasmanian 19th century institutions. The project results will inform policy as well as increasing on-line access to Australia's UNESCO Memory of the World registered convict records. The project outcomes will help to contextualise the risks associated with different types and rates of solitary confinement exposure.
