xenithAlso in the Mercury this week, a story about the Ross female factory which is interesting.
University of Manchester archaeologist Eleanor Casella has found evidence that the jail and workhouse for female convicts contravened British policy "for the management of imperial convicts" by allowing babies to stay with their mothers. Rest of story
If that's the case, it'd be an interesting line of study to pursue. What other evidence supports that idea? What variation in behaviour & attitudes was there between the sites? So much not known about that period :)
