Examines the representation of criminality and convicts in the work of George Barrington and argues that his stunningly successful Voyage to Botany Bay (1795) is a significant response to the popular anxiety that convicts are carriers of social contamination and physical disease, at a time when the implicit association was made between criminals and colonial subjects, who needed to be physically segregated from Britain in order to maintain the stability of the domestic order
