Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind: Australia's Places Of Confinement, 1788-1988 chronicles the complex and often harsh history of incarceration across the Australian continent. This scholarly work uncovers the evolution of penal institutions, from early colonial settlements to the late 20th century, detailing the social, political, and architectural aspects of these sites. It presents a critical examination of how Australia managed its confined populations, illustrating the enduring impact of these practices on the nation's identity. The narrative maintains an academic yet accessible tone, offering profound insights into a significant, often overlooked, facet of Australian history.
