Full description
The cards were created to provide a sentencing history and a physical description record of a prisoner that could be transferred between prisons.Typically each card would contain a photograph of the prisoner, a record of the prisoners remand, trial, any prior convictions and any appeals. It would also denote any changes in the prisoners classification (eg. transfer to another prison). If the prisoner was a migrant the card usually gives the date and name of the ship on which the prisoner arrived in Victoria.
