Series notes:
Journals of the prison wardens with an entry each night recording the names of the officer and constable on night duty, and whether they have reported all to be correct. The warden reports the result of his own tour of inspection, events of the day, particularly recalcitrant behaviour by prisoners, and notes the names of prisoners received and discharged. The first volume is numbered "21" on the inside cover.
The journal transcripts were compiled by Ian Brand and appear in the 'Brand papers : Tasman Peninsula' Hobart, National Parks and Wildlife Service, 1983.
These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
