How prison labor hinders economic development. A new format for killers: why the ultra-modern maximum security prison in Australia is more like your office Australia is the largest prison in the world

Sue Paull photographed inmates at Australia's most notorious prisons for 15 years while teaching them art. Her stunning photographs reveal the world of murderers and rapists hidden behind bars.

Before becoming a prison art teacher and photographer, Poll worked in a school system whose rules she didn't like. When she came to classes with especially dangerous prisoners, she felt quite at ease.

Under her leadership, hundreds of prisoners painted paintings, made pottery and sculptures, which were later exhibited at the Long Bay prison entrance and in many galleries overseas.

While working in the penitentiary system, Poll began photographing prisoners, first only in the art studio, and then outside it. Her stunning black and white photographs provide a glimpse into the hidden world of Australian prisons between 1993 and the late 2000s.

Using a documentary style in many of his photographs, Paull nevertheless draws attention to beautiful images, such as the tattoos of prisoners and their physical strength, vital to survival behind bars.

Once a huge prison, Australia now ranks first in the world's happiness rankings.

Story modern Australia began in 1606, when the reckless Dutch captain Janszoon landed on an unknown land and named it “New Zealand” - in honor of the Dutch province.

Here this name did not take root, but later it went to the islands east of Australia. The Dutch did not take root either: the local population met them with hostility, several sailors died. Having given the order to raise the anchors, the captain wrote in the ship's log: “Nothing good can be done there.”

This conclusion was confirmed by his compatriot Captain Karstenz: “These shores are unsuitable for life, they are inhabited by poor and pitiful creatures.”

The largest prison in the world

Well, the Dutch have always been good sailors, but absolutely no warriors. The British are a different matter. James Cook was sent to extend the power of the crown into unknown lands - he did. With fire and sword, the English colonists won food and water for themselves on the Australian coast. The Dutch probably saw this only as confirmation of Captain Janszoon's words.

In those years it already became clear that Great Britain had taken a bite out of more land than I could actually master. The only use that has been found for Australia is a beautiful prison, well isolated from civilization (thousands of miles of water).

Already 18 years after Cook’s first visit, those who would later be delicately called “stowaways on Her Majesty’s ships”—convicts—landed ashore. Several tens of thousands of embittered people, often seriously ill, dying at hard labor, expelling the Aborigines and infecting them with diseases unknown in Australia - became the basis of the future of Australian society.

FOR REFERENCE : Now, in the 10s of the 21st century, Australia ranks first in the world happiness rating Better Life Index from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. GDP per capita is off the charts for 45 thousand dollars - a place in the world's top ten, from big countries Only the USA is ahead. 84% of Australians say they experience positive emotions “much more often” than negative ones.

How the hell did they do this?

At one time Australia (as well as New Zealand) began to rise on gold and wool. Convicts began raising sheep, and later it literally became a national occupation (“Australia rides a sheep”) and until the end of World War II provided the main influx of funds into the country. Suffice it to say that in the 1880s, a unique “dog fence” was built here, more than 5 thousand kilometers long (more than enough to block off the European part of Russia from north to south), protecting pastures from dingoes.

Like New Zealand, Australia experienced a gold boom in the 1870s. But if easily accessible deposits quickly depleted, then in general Australian reserves have not yet become depleted. This is a real world pantry: almost the entire periodic table is mined here.

Australia secured its de facto independence from the British crown thanks to... meat freezing technology. After the opportunity arose to export not only wool, but also other parts of sheep, a country with a well-developed agriculture I could just ignore London. And the British were wise enough not to start a military operation far away: the smell of the First World War was already in the air.

And they had little chance of winning. After all, it was the peculiar contingent of the first settlers that played a role in the success of Australia. Courage, endurance, perseverance, ability for physical labor were originally Australian trump cards over pampered Europe.

There was no happiness, but the war helped

And then the world wars thundered, which greatly enriched Australia, which was far from conflicts, both with an increased demand for raw materials and with human capital: thousands of qualified specialists left here from mobilization, battles, and devastation.

It must be said that not everyone was accepted: until the 1970s, the concept of “White Australia” dominated, and, say, Asians were actually denied entry. Only when the level of education in Asia rose to a more or less decent level was the ban lifted - and now people from China, Indochina, and India play an important role in the country.

Rich mineral resources, wonderful climate south coast, multiplied by the stern Protestant ethic (its traces can still be traced in the country, although the majority of its inhabitants have long been no longer religious), helped make a prosperous land out of an inhospitable continent. There are quite a lot of problems in Australia, as elsewhere - now, let’s say, it’s the opposition to Muslim expansion (more precisely, the way of life that migrants bring with them), but it’s hard to doubt that Australians will cope with this scourge. This is not Europe, everything is more serious and simpler here.

It appeared thanks to the discovery of new lands by Captain James Cook, a navigator who proclaimed New Holland (now Australia) as British possessions. Soon, in 1786, it was decided to make East Coast Australia is a place of exile. The following year, the First Fleet sailed from the shores of England to establish Australia's first colony, called New South Wales. Other ships followed him, and soon many convict settlements were formed in Australia.

Eastern Australia was declared a British territory in 1770, and the first colony was founded on 26 January 1788. As Australia's population grew, six self-governing colonies were established within Australia.

On January 1, 1901, the six colonies formed a federation. Since that time, Australia has maintained a stable democratic system of government. Australia's neighbors are Indonesia, East Timor and Papua - New Guinea from North, Solomon islands and Vanuatu from the northeast, New Zealand from the southeast. The shortest distance between the main island of Papua New Guinea and mainland Australia is 150 kilometers; however, from the Australian island of Boigu to Papua New Guinea is only 5 kilometers.

The name "Australia" comes from the Latin. australis, meaning southern. Legends about the "unknown" southern land"(terra australis incognita) come from the time of the Romans, there were commonplace medieval geography, but were not based on real knowledge. The Dutch used this term for all newly discovered southern lands from 1638.

The name "Australia" became popular after the publication of A Voyage to Terra Australis by Captain Matthew Flinders. Governor McQuire of New South Wales used this name in correspondence with England. In 1817 he recommended this name as the official one. In 1824, the British Admiralty finally approved this name for the continent.

How did immigration to Australia begin?

In Great Britain, the 18th century was marked by significant social changes, which led to an increase in crime rates. The main reason for this was extreme need. To stop this, the authorities have issued strict laws with severe penalties. At the beginning of the 19th century, approximately 200 crimes were punishable by death. “Even the most petty theft is sentenced to death,” wrote one traveler. For example, one 11-year-old boy was hanged for stealing a handkerchief! Another man was found guilty of insult and the theft of a silk purse, a gold watch and approximately six pounds sterling. He was sentenced to death by hanging. The execution was replaced by lifelong exile. In that terrible era, approximately 160 thousand people suffered a similar fate. Women, as a rule, together with their children, were sentenced to 7-14 years of hard labor.

However, at the beginning of the 18th century, the authorities issued a law that in many cases made it possible to replace death penalty deportation to the English colonies in North America. Soon, up to a thousand prisoners a year were being sent there, mainly to Virginia and Maryland. But, having declared themselves an independent state in 1776, these colonies were no longer willing to accept British criminals. Then they began to be sent to terrible floating prisons on the Thames River, but they were also overcrowded.

The solution appeared thanks to the discovery of new lands by Captain James Cook. In 1786, it was decided to make the east coast of Australia a place of exile. The following year, the First Fleet sailed from the shores of England to establish the first colony called New South Wales. Other ships followed him, and soon many convict settlements were formed in Australia, including on Norfolk Island, located 1,500 kilometers northeast of Sydney.

"Many of the 'criminals' deported to Australia were pre-teens," writes Bill Beattie in his book Early Australia - With Shame Remembered. As the book says, in one case a court sentenced a seven-year-old boy to “lifelong exile in Australia.”

First wave of immigration to Australia: founding of convict colonies.

At first, transferring to the Australian colonies was a real nightmare for prisoners placed in damp and dirty ship holds. Hundreds died en route, others soon after arrival. Scurvy claimed many lives. But over time, doctors appeared on ships, especially those carrying female prisoners, and the mortality rate dropped significantly. Subsequently, with the improvement of ships, the journey time was reduced from seven to four months, and deaths became even fewer.

Shipwrecks posed another threat to life. The British ship Amphitrite, five days after sailing from England, was still within sight of the French coast when it encountered a violent storm. Tossed mercilessly by the waves for two days, the ship ran aground a kilometer from the shore on August 31, 1883 at five o'clock in the afternoon.

However, the crew did not make any rescue attempts and did not launch lifeboats. Why? For one simple reason: so that the prisoners - 120 women and children - do not escape! After three horror-filled hours, the ship began to sink, and people began to be washed out to sea. Most of crew and all 120 women and children died. In the following days, 82 corpses washed ashore, and among them was the corpse of a mother who hugged her child so tightly that even death could not separate them.

But it must be said that the situation of some prisoners was not so bad. After all, for some people in Australia, in fact, better prospects opened up than in their homeland. Yes, that part of Australia's history was extremely contradictory: it combined cruelty and mercy, death and hope. It started in Great Britain.

The Settlement of Australia: When Death is Desired.

The Governor of New South Wales, Sir Thomas Brisbane, decreed that the worst criminals should be sent from New South Wales and Tasmania to Norfolk Island. “There these scoundrels will lose all hope of returning home,” he said. Sir Ralph Darling, the next governor, vowed to create "conditions worse than death" in Norfolk. This is what happened, especially during the reign of John Price, a governor of noble birth. Price “guessed the thoughts of criminals with deadly accuracy, and this, coupled with strict adherence to the law, gave him some kind of mystical power over the convicts.” For singing, walking too fast or not pushing a cart of stones hard enough, a convict could receive 50 lashes or 10 days in a cell with up to 13 prisoners and where you could only stand.

Only priests, as spiritual persons and therefore inviolable, could openly condemn such inhuman treatment. “No words can describe how cruelly the convicts were treated,” wrote one priest. “What is scary to even think about was done with complete impunity.”

Australian History: A Glimmer of Hope.

With the arrival of Captain Alexander Maconoch in Norfolk in 1840, the situation improved somewhat. He introduced a new rating system that took into account how much a convict had improved, offered rewards for good behavior and gave him the opportunity to earn freedom by accumulating a certain number of ratings. “I am confident,” wrote Maconochie, that with the right methods, any criminal can be corrected. A person’s intellectual abilities are quickly restored if one directs his thoughts in the right direction, treats him humanely and does not deprive him of hope.”

Maconock's reform was so effective that it was subsequently widely used in England, Ireland and the United States. But at the same time, with his innovations, Makonoki dealt a strong blow to the pride of some influential people, whose methods he rejected. It cost him his place. After his departure, abuse in Norfolk resumed, but not for long. In 1854, thanks to the priests, the island ceased to be a place of convict settlements, and the exiles were transported to Tasmania, to Port Arthur.

Port Arthur, especially in the early years, also terrified people. But still, the treatment of convicts here was not as cruel as in Norfolk. Corporal punishment was abolished almost completely here in 1840.

As Ian Brand wrote in his book Port Arthur - 1830-1877, George Arthur, the strict governor of Tasmania, wanted to secure his colony's reputation as a "place of iron discipline." And at the same time, Arthur wanted every convict to learn that “good behavior is rewarded, and bad behavior is punished.” To do this, he divided the convicts into seven categories, starting with those who were promised early release for exemplary behavior, and ending with those who were sentenced to the hardest labor in shackles.

When Exile to Australia Was a Blessing

“For convicts, with the exception of those who were sent to Port Arthur, Norfolk ... and other similar places when conditions there were intolerable,” wrote Beatty, “the prospects for the future in the colony were much better than in their homeland ... Here the convicts had the opportunity to live a better life.” Indeed, convicts who received early release or served their sentences realized that in Australia they and their families were waiting for better life. Therefore, after liberation, only a few returned to England.

Governor Lachlan Macquarie, an ardent defender of freed convicts, said: “A person released from prison should never be reminded of his criminal past, much less reproached for it; he should be made to feel like a full-fledged member of society, who has already redeemed his guilt by exemplary behavior and has become decent.” human." Macquarie backed up his words with deeds: he allocated freed exiles land, and also gave them some prisoners to help them in the field and with housework.

Over time, many hardworking and enterprising former convicts became wealthy and respected, and in some cases even famous people. For example, Samuel Lightfoot founded the first hospitals in Sydney and Hobart. William Redfern became a widely respected doctor, and Australians owe much to Francis Greenaway. architectural structures in Sydney and surrounding areas.

Finally, in 1868, after 80 years, Australia ceased to be a place of exile. The modern society of this country bears no resemblance to those terrible years. Partially preserved convict settlements are of historical interest only. Less horrific evidence of the era also survives: bridges, buildings and churches built by convicts. Some of them are in excellent condition and are still in use today.

The new Hunter maximum security prison in Sydney's north looks little like a prison at all. There are no cells or doors, and prisoners can make calls late into the night or watch touch-screen TV. At the same time, they are under the watchful eye of 600 video cameras 24 hours a day, and in case of incidents, an elite rapid response team is always ready.

The prison authorities believe that this is the future of the rehabilitation system for criminals such as murderers, rapists and repeat offenders.

What may surprise those who smiled skeptically when reading this: in the first six months of operation of the Hunter Correctional Center, there was not a single attack on guards or a single skirmish between prisoners. Not a single death, escape, and only one prisoner harmed himself. And this is an excellent result compared to other maximum security institutions.

The prison's goal is to "achieve a 100 percent success rate in inmates' employment, life skills, education, and programs to correct their offending behavior."

Prisoners work five hours a day and are paid $65 a week. They also have three hours of leisure time, which includes a treadmill and other exercise equipment, a library and a multi-faith chapel.

Hunter Prison was built in just a year and opened on January 30th. The building has four wings, each with four shared bedrooms, or “blocks.” Each block accommodates 25 prisoners, who live in open, single rooms, more like an office. The rooms have a table, chair, mattress and interactive TV.

Although Hunter Correctional Center operates differently, it is still a prison.

The rapid response team is always ready.

The 60cm interactive TV has access to free TV channels, radio and some films.

Unlike traditional prisons, inmates at Hunter Correctional Center are not behind bars.

Through these windows, guards watch the dormitories.

Prisoners are provided with toilet paper, plastic kitchen utensils and a safety razor. They can store all this in their room.

Rapid response team officers will be in any part of the prison within two minutes to prevent a dangerous situation.

The guards have pepper spray and stun grenades in their arsenal. However, since the opening of the prison they have never been needed.

Personal hygiene items - baby powder, shampoo and deodorant.

Every prisoner is required to work. They can learn, for example, how to work with metal, which will be useful to them in life outside the prison walls.

Prisoners can also learn the craft of drapery. The furniture they make is used in other NSW prisons.

Hunter Correctional Facility warden Richard Haycock wants to see inmates rehabilitated and returned to society.

Prisoners have greater access to recreational facilities than other Australian maximum security prisons.

Dormitories have high ceilings and partitions that absorb sound. Surprisingly, the premises are usually very quiet, even if all the prisoners are present.

There are a total of 400 inmates at Hunter Prison. Most of their day is filled with work, school, and other programs.

The correctional facility has a multi-faith chapel.

There is even a room for washing feet.

The menu for the week hangs in the kitchen, and prisoners can choose their own dishes.

Touchball is a popular game at Hunter Prison.

The prisoners are preparing lunch. On Thursdays they have chicken tacos and salad.

Correctional center in the Australian city of Goulburn local residents called simply "Sphere". He enjoys the most fame scary prison in the country. It is here that the most hardened criminals - rapists, murderers, sadists - serve their sentences. British journalists were able to see the gloomy institution from the inside.

The correctional center in the Australian city of Goulburn, 90 kilometers from Canberra and 195 kilometers from Sydney, is simply called “the Sphere” by locals. And also a “human zoo”. Australia's most dangerous criminals - mostly murderers and rapists - are kept in these cage cells.
The prison building in Goulburn was built in the 19th century. The establishment will soon celebrate its 150th anniversary.
Each wing of the prison houses about 30 prisoners. The criminals are divided according to nationality: natives of Asia, the Middle East and Australian aborigines live separately from each other. Murderers and rapists are kept together in a separate wing.
Inmate Matthew De Grucci is serving a 28-year sentence in the Sphere for the murder of his mother, brother and sister. He recently took part in an attack on two prisoners, which resulted in the victims being sent to the prison hospital with broken bones and brain damage.
Serial killer Ivan Milat, sentenced to six life sentences in 1996, tried unsuccessfully to escape from the Sphere.
Thomas Hudson Wilson was Milat's partner in the failed escape. He ended up in the Sphere for brutally beating a woman with an iron crowbar. Wilson smashed the victim's face and broke his arms and legs. As the judge said at the trial, she will never be able to fully recover from her injuries. It didn’t take long to catch the criminal: due to the complete absence of hair on Wilson’s head and body, the victim easily identified the criminal.
Bassam Hamzi is perhaps Australia's most protected criminal, an Islamist and leader of the organized crime group Assassins. After several years of his stay in prison, it turned out that Hamzi successfully persuades other prisoners to convert to Islam and successfully manages the affairs of a criminal group while behind bars.
Hamzi kept a poster with the emblem of his group "Assassins" - "Killers" - in his cell.

Bilal Skaf is now 31 years old. he is serving a 33-year sentence in the Sphere on charges of several rapes.
Tension between prisoners in prison always exists; joint walks in the caged courtyards often end in fights and violence. The photo shows homemade weapons taken from prisoners by guards. Knives and sharpeners are made from any available items - combs, brushes, any metal objects found in prison.
The murderer Leith Marchant, serving time in the "Sphere" under the influence of Bassam Hamzi converted to Islam. Now he sleeps on the bare floor of his cell and, as the guards say, he is constantly hatching plans to escape.
