he had been convicted of forgery and uttering....As his sentence was longer than three years, Dwyer fell into the class of
prisoners considered most dangerous and intractable. Under the Crofton system, which was introduced into NSW prisons in the 1870s, such prisoners served the first nine months of their sentence in solitary confinement." See his story in the e-catalogue (p. 69) - http://ow.ly/1z5230fdU8R
