In Melbourne and Geelong from the 1890s, Percy Ramage saw red whenever he saw the cops. Known as 'The Policeman Puncher', he was such a 'human tiger' that no-one knew where his badness ended and his madness began. But in trying to contain him, authorities would throw Percy into a gaol where prisoners were dropping like flies – with the ‘Prince of Rioters' looking like he'd be the next to die.For free trial access to early ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus episodes:Apple.co/ForgottenAustralia or https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/forgotten-australia/id1442763878Patreon.com/ForgottenAustraliaThe Notorious Lady Munro starts here:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-notorious-lady-munro-part-one-the-woman-in-the-waterhole/id1442763878?i=1000608171649Weachurch: Werewolf of Pentridge starts here:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/weachurch-werewolf-of-pentridge-part-one/id1442763878?i=1000660026921Murder in the Treasury Gardens starts here:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/murder-in-the-treasury-gardens-part-one-we-die-together/id1442763878?i=1000645005060Check out my books:They'll Never Hold Me:https://www.booktopia.com.au/they-ll-never-hold-me-michael-adams/book/9781923046474.htmlThe Murder Squad:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781923046504.htmlHanging Ned Kelly:https://www.booktopia.com.au/hanging-ned-kelly-michael-adams/book/9781922992185.htmlAustralia's Sweetheart:https://www.booktopia.com.au/australia-s-sweetheart-michael-adams/book/9780733640292.htmlEmail: forgottenaustraliapodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Jay Malkoun served 10 years for heroin trafficking, was the president of the feared Comancheros motorcycle gang, and in March 2019, a car bomb outside a gym in Athens detonated the Mercedes he was sitting in. It was an explosion heard around the world as global media, law enforcement agencies, and underworld cartels speculated on who had moved to assassinate the former gangster and retired leader of one of the world's most feared and powerful underworld organisations. Here, Jay tells his story. He truly is one of the most fascinating and complex figures that Australia has ever given the underworld.

*New episode* A century before Mark ‘Chopper' Read became infamous in Pentridge, a convict named Weachurch struck terror into that prison's warders and from behind its bluestone walls he loomed large as an Australian boogeyman. Weachurch's attacks were so bloodthirsty that he was dubbed a ‘human tiger' – a ‘wehrwolf' – and he was kept in a cage in between court trials for attempted murder. If convicted, he faced the hangman. But Weachurch risked the noose because he was a rebel with a cause: he wanted the public to hear about his illegal detention and the barbaric treatment he suffered ‘outside the regulations'.To some he was a monster. To others a martyr. To himself he was unbreakable.This never-before-told story is based on extensive research in archival files. It's made possible by Ancestry's sponsorship and by supporter contributions.Parts 2 and 3 will be on general release soon.They're available now to Apple and Patreon supporters:Apple - http://apple.co/forgottenaustraliaPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/ForgottenAustraliaEmail: forgottenaustraliapodcast@gmail.comCheck out my books:Hanging Ned Kelly @ Dymockshttps://www.dymocks.com.au/book/hanging-ned-kelly-by-michael-adams-9781922992185The Murder Squad @ Dymockshttps://www.dymocks.com.au/book/the-murder-squad-by-michael-adams-9781923046504 Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to yisitso, where history unfolds in brief moments. In this episode, we delve into the tragic tale of Ronald Joseph Ryan, the last person to be hung in Australia. I'm your host, Paul, and we've condensed this poignant story into a compact 15-minute episode. Perfect for those short breaks or a quick commute with a cup of coffee in hand. Ronald Ryan's life in the 1930s and 40s mirrors the experiences of many, starting as a petty thief and persisting in that life until his final moments. However, his story takes a dark turn with a controversial event – the death of Pentridge guard George Hodson. Join us as we navigate the complexities of Ryan's life and the doubt that lingers even by today's standards regarding the fateful bullet that claimed Hodson's life. Prepare yourself for a somber journey through history, as we uncover the layers of a life seemingly wasted, and I'm here to guide you through the enigmatic legacy of Ronald Joseph Ryan.
It was the criminal Christmas miracle to warm the hardest heart. During the festive season in 1951, Pentridge prisoners got a surprise visit from Santa, aka the cheeky crook Harold 'Dusty' Sheehan, who could get out of — and into — prisons as easily as Old St Nick down a chimney. This ‘regifted' episode was originally released in 2021. Another new episode will be out next week.Merry Christmas! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Writer and journalist James Phelps takes you inside the bluestone walls and medieval-looking turrets of Australia's most infamous jail
Pentridge Prison in Victoria was home to some of the worst criminals for more than a century.
For more than a century, Australia's infamous Pentridge Prison was an ominous presence just 30 minutes away from Melbourne's CBD. A place of murder and mayhem, it was home to Victoria's worst criminals. Everyone from Ned Kelly and Chopper Read, to mass murderers Julian Knight and Craig Minogue. Pentridge officially closed in 1997 after decades of controversy. Over the years, everybody in Victoria had an understanding that Pentridge was a bad place, and the criminals who spent time inside can attest to that. They describe it as hell.

Prodigious armed robber and expert escaper John Killick escaped custody in three states, once in a helicopter hijacked by his girlfriend. Most of the police and prison officers who chased or caged him over more than 50 years are long gone, while John has written five books. But the brutality of Pentridge has stayed with him. Killick takes host John Silvester inside the giant bluestone walls that hid callous brutality, resulting in angry men being released back into the community.

Interview with Melbourne graffiti writer and co-founder of the KSA graffiti crew @armedksa one of the pioneers of Melbourne graffiti culture. He shares his story of growing up in Dandenong. From boys homes he eventually landed in the notorious Pentridge prison. Graffiti saved him and he still paints to this day.
Over almost 150 years, the word ‘Pentridge' became eponymous with prison. Following the closure of the Melbourne Gaol in the 1920s, Pentridge became the main remand and reception prison for the Melbourne metropolitan area. Closed in 1997 the prison has undergone a massive restoration plus redevelopment and has turned into a vibrant shopping location of apartments accommodation and a village precinct. You can shop within the prison walls, watch a movie and stroll around the grounds or join a ghostly tour.But these walls hold residual secrets and this week we visit Pentridge to find out more, learn about its beginnings and its former inhabitants who are reputed to still walk the bluestone floors.Come on and get that bucket list underway!

Which is where the prisoner obeys all the rules and works off their time as quickly as they can. The hard way. In which case they cause the authorities as much grief and aggravation as they possibly can and become known as a troublesome prisoner. And, of course, the third way is to escape."

Interviews with Melbourne archaeologists Adam Ford and Geoff Hewitt. The Silent Prison, Episode 1 of the podcast Look History in the Eye is about the convergence of ideology and design. Pentridge Prison, in Melbourne and its on-site panopticons were the physical manifestation of criminal reform ideas in the 1800s. Radical concepts of that time were designed into the architectural vision for the prison and introduced a method we now know as one of mankind's most brutal forms of punishment.

There's a brutal history behind the imposing walls of Melbourne's Pentridge prison, stretching from 1851 right up until its closure in 1997. Today there's a playground, supermarket, cinema and apartments on site – but not everyone's happy about it. Those who know Pentridge best offer their answers to a difficult question: how should you treat a site with such a violent past?
This was an experience. It is almost impossible to write this description. Gregory David Roberts is best known for his novel Shantaram which has sold over 6 million copies since being published. It is the best piece of writing, story telling, truth, poetry and wisdom I have come across. Shantaram is inspired by true events from Gregorys life - A convicted bank robber and heroin addict who escapes from Pentridge prison to live a life in exile in India. To label Gregory as just a writer would be an injustice as he is a musician, a spiritual leader and an inspiration to so many artists, and he is Australian! Enjoy!

Coburg, Victoria, Australia didn't always have that name. It was originally known as Pentridge and it was infamous for being home to the Pentridge Prison. This prison was one of the most notorious in Australia, housing some of the worst of the worst and was open for 146 years. Today, it is the setting for fashion shows, parties, conferences and even weddings. As is the case with many old jails, this one is restless behind the scenes...or should we say, behind the veil. Spirits roam the cell blocks. Come with us as we explore the history and hauntings of Australia's Pentridge Prison!

With day after day of long and lonely strict routine I believe what they say, ‘A change is as good as a holiday.’ Within a few months that change happened when I was moved to Barwon prison, a newly built complex near Geelong. This was completely different from Pentridge—clean, spacious and no rats, not ones with tails anyhow. I spent my days playing table tennis and working in the metal fabrication shop.

Recent archaeological digs at Pentridge Prison in Melbourne have uncovered three airing yards built in the design of a panopticon. Based on original concepts by Jeremy Bentham, the airing yard design allowed a single guard in the middle tower to keep an eye on each prisoner while they had fresh air for one hour a day.
