This fascinating book, based on extensive archival research in
Britain and India, examines why mutineer-rebels chose to attack
prisons and release prisoners, discusses the impact of the
destruction of the jails on British penal policy in mainland India,
considers the relationship between India and its penal settlements
in Southeast Asia, re-examines Britain's decision to settle the
Andaman Islands as a penal colony in 1858, and re-evaluates the
experiences of mutineer-rebel convicts there. As such this book
makes an important contribution to histories of the
mutiny-rebellion, British colonial South Asia, British expansion in
the Indian Ocean and incarceration and transportation. Coinciding
with the 150th anniversary of the mutiny-rebellion, this book will
be of interest to academics and students researching the history of
colonial India, the history of empire and expansion and the history
of imprisonment and incarceration.
