hey listen i'm probably not welcome adding my two sence into this convo as i'm not irish. However i am interested in Van diemans Land incredably, may the men and women rest in peace. We in Canada faced close to the same thing, not me directly but inmates before me. Every August 22 we have Prisoners Justice Day, where we celebrate the lives of inmates world wide who fought and fight the system for humanity.We pay our respects by not eating from midnight August 22 to midnight August 23. I'm audviously not in jail now but i continue to deprive myself on this day simply out of respect. Anyways i am looking for info on Van Diemans Land, I think i can do more and it is a very good cause. Unfortunatly i stumbbled on to this site and don't know how i'm gonna get back so if anyone has info you can reach me at citro29@hotmail.com. also i'm on msn so if you can add me and we can talk exclusivly.
