PARKHURST PRISON - Isle of Wight -
Parkhurst apprentices were juvenile prisoners
from Parkhurst Prison, sentenced to "transportation beyond the seas", but
pardoned on arrival at their destination on the conditions that they be
"apprenticed" to local employers, and that they not return to England during the
original term of their sentence. Between 1842 and 1849, Western Australia
accepted 234 Parkhurst apprentices, all males aged between 10 and 21
The CONVICT ERA of WESTERN AUSTRALIA was the period during which Western Australia was a penal colony of the British Empire. Although it received small numbers of juvenile offenders from 1842, it was not formally constituted as a penal colony until 1849. Between 1850 and 1868, 9721 convicts were transported to Western Australia on 43 convict ship voyages. Transportation ceased in 1868, but it would be many years until the colony ceased to have any convicts in its care.
