Abstract

Prisons are not family-friendly. After Edward Kennedy was sentenced to seven years’ transportation by the Dumfries Court of Justiciary in April 1831, he marked the occasion with a memorial to his wife. By the time he arrived in the British penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land, his arm was tattooed with the words: ‘Catherine my dear you are my own, my heart lies in your breast, although there’s many a mile of distant love and strong seas between us Ever Constant & true I will prove, for now & forever more’.
