There is a temptation to read the length of a convict’s charge sheet as a reflection of their criminality. This presentation shows how digital data can be used to provide a wider context against which to read a record of prosecution. In particular, it examines the distribution of punishments over time and across convict skills in order to explore the ways in which the organisation of work impacted upon punishment rates. It ends by highlighting ways in which court records can be used to piece together convict actions designed to improve working conditions.
