Titel: Erik Nordlander - prison record
Skrivet av: Lynette Case skrivet 2020-07-12, 19:39

Erik Nordlander was sentenced to six months in jail for vagrancy on July 16, 1889 in Härnösand. His family was living living on the parish poor farm at the time. This was listed in August and it appears he is being transported somewhere with some other prisoners. I am not able to translate this. Could someone please tell me what this says? Where and why was he being moved?

Thank you.

He was sent to Waxholm, which is not far from Stockholm, to do some penal labour for the crown/government

I am trying to find information about the prison Erik was sent to on Waxholm. Was it the fortress he was sent to? The only prison I can find nearby is Långholmen. His daughter Kristina spent four months at Norrmalm (Långholmen) for vagrancy.
Thanks

It was most likely the fortress he was sent to. It was also used as a prison.

Thank you! I will add that to my list of places to see when I visit Sweden next summer.
