'She was known in this town for over twenty years to be a prostitute of the lowest type.' This is how the Governor of Galway jail described Maggie, who, by 1892, had one hundred and twelve convictions for petty offences and four for larceny recorded against her. She was one of many thousands of women who were sent to jail in Galway in the late nineteenth century for a variety of offences. This book tells their story. Galway was one of thirty-eight Irish towns that had a local prison in the late nineteenth century, housing thousands of women. In this book Geraldine Curtin examines the socioeconomic conditions in which these women lived, the crimes they committed, and the treatment they received while in prison. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, including prison registers, parliamentary papers, newspapers, and personal accounts of prisoners, the author offers an in-depth look at Galway's women prisoners at a time when female criminality in Ireland was undergoing significant change.
