History
New South Wales, as the founding site for English settlement in Australia in 1788, has had prisons for as long as Australia has had stable European settlement. The first Australian colony was founded at Port Jackson (now Sydney) on January 26, 1788, and marked the commencement of many decades of convict arrivals from the United Kingdom.
