Prisoners removed from Millbank Prison to the Justitia hulk
(1843-1846)
The new prison at Millbank was used as a holding centre for convicts destined for the hulks: 'few of the adult convicts remain for a longer period than three months; and of those who remain for a longer period, the most part are criminals of the worst description, who are awaiting embarkation for their final destination in Norfolk Island.' The report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the prison includes a return of male convicts transferred from the Millbank Prison to the Justitia hulk, from 1 August 1843 to 21 June 1846, giving: Register Number; Name; Number of Reports for Misconduct; Punishment; How long in this prison.
