Synopsis

There has been surprisingly little written about H.M. Brisbane Prison, which was better known to one all a ‘Boggo Road Gaol’, that is, from the perspective of male prisoners. The Real Boggo Road provides an all-too-rare account of life inside the Queensland prison system of the 1960’s from the beginning to the end of an era, culminating in the eventual closure of the notorious Boggo Road system, and of its caged and underground incarceration. It is the view of many that harsh intimidating treatment and recidivisim go hand in hand, but in this first of many writings by Larry Campbell we discover an insight that will be noticed in the area of penology, criminology, as well as social and welfare studies. It, is the authors view, through historical recall, and although his many writings are written with sincerity, they may tend to offend those who have lived and worked behind the walls of such institutions. He makes no apology.
