Hi Carolee If you find out any information about the prison guards of Dorchester Penitentiary would you mind pointing me in the right direction. Just recently I found out that one of my husband's relatives was a prison guard there, Stephen Henry Getson. My Getson's were also from Nova Scotia. Thank you for any help you my provide.
