Abstract

Carters' Barracks and Point Puer were the first attempts at creating a prison institution specifically for the growing number of juvenile male transportees who were being sent to the Australian colonies. Beyond the structures and regulations of the institutions, this article seeks to examine the ways in which the boys' understanding of masculinities shaped their relationships with prison authorities and within the juvenile prison community.
