Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa (1831-1915) was an Irish Fenian leader. In 1865, he was charged with plotting a Fenian uprising, put on trial for high treason and sentenced to penal servitude for life. He served his time in Pentonville, Portland, and Chatham prisons, among others. He was finally released on the understanding that he would not return to Ireland and moved to the United States in 1870. His tale of famine, leek porridge, tight irons, taking an airing in the exercise yard, and working in the quarries is a disturbing portrayal of another age, regardless of one's political point of view.
