In the center of this painting (done in 1815) is the Bellerophon. Gathered in smaller boats to see Napoleon, who'd been incarcerated there in 1815. It wasn't until 1823 that the powers that be decided it might be a good idea to house criminals under the age of 16 on a separate hulk. Until that date, children as young as 9 were incarcerated with some of the worst offenders. By 1824, this plan was put into action and the adults aboard the Bellerophon.

http://regencyretribution.blogspot.com/2011/07/such-comfort-and-ease.html
Such comfort and ease.". The following was a letter I stumbled across in a google book, Observations on penal jurisprudence, and the reformation of criminals. It was a good thing I wasn't drinking anything at the time, because I would have spit it all over my computer screen. More on this later. I apologize for my mini-rant. July 25, 2011 at 9:59 PM. I am surprised his head was still attached after that whirling whopper. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Don't miss a single post! Such comfort and ease.

Retribution and the Regency: ~Book Review~ The English Prison Hulks
http://regencyretribution.blogspot.com/2011/07/book-review-english-prison-hulks.html

(I realize that more countries than Britain are guilty of this atrocity and some more recently, but it's Britain's part that intrigues me, as it took place mostly in the time period I already loved.). That being said, I found this book on Amazon, cringed at the used price ($20.but I now see it's up to $55 so.YAY! Any reviews poste...

Eventually, criminals were sentenced to the hulks instead of just sent there to wait until they could be transported. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Don't miss a single post! Welcome to ...

Pearls, Glorious Pearls. The pearls we often see today are cultured, meaning the oyster is more or less forced to make the gem.
