Trial bay goal was a public works prison
from 1886 to 1903 and then from
1915 to 1918 a enemy alien internment
were they put Germans whom lived in oz
behind bars to avoid spying and sabotage.
However the rules were more or less relaxed they could go to the beach
for a swim and even build some little shacks they opened up there own
businesses like a bakery and a shoemaker they
had a march band and a theater group.
One guy was drawing cartons that became
Bambi after he was released
Nevertheless it was a prison and more than 500 folks
had to share 200 cellls and each of them
got no more than 4 1/2 cups of water for
drinking and washing.
I hope they don't lock me up.
