Question: Who is the author of the book based on the prison established in 1851 in Coburg, Victoria?
Context: The history of Fremantle Prison, a former Australian prison in Fremantle, Western Australia, extends from its construction as a prison for convicts, using convict labour, in the 1850s, through to its modern-day usage as a tourist attraction.  The design for Fremantle Prison was based on the Pentonville Prison in Britain, and it would be the longest, tallest prison cell block in the southern hemisphere.  Construction began in 1851, and was completed by the end of 1859.  The prison was transferred to the colonial government in 1886 for use for locally sentenced prisoners.  Following a Royal Commission held in 1898−99, some changes were made to Fremantle Prison, including knocking down the inner wall between two cells, introducing a prisoner classification system, and constructing internal walls in the main block to create four separate divisions.  A new cell block, New Division, was completed in 1907 and occupied in 1908.

The Richmond General Penitentiary was a prison established in 1820 in Grangegorman, Dublin, Ireland as an alternative to transportation.  It was part of an experiment into a penitentiary system which also involved Millbank Penitentiary, London.  Richmond and Millbank penitentiaries were the first prisons in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (as it was at the time) to specialise in reform rather than punishment.  The building was designed by the architect Francis Johnston and decorated by George Stapleton.  The building ceased to be a penitentiary in 1831, and later became part of the Richmond Asylum. The Río Piedras State Penitentiary, also known as Puerto Rico Island Penitentiary or Oso Blanco (or "White Bear" in English), was a correctional facility located in Río Piedras, Puerto Rico.  The institution opened in 1933 under the government of James R. Beverley, and came to substitute the Puerto Rico Prison established by Spaniards in the 19th century.

Sukhanovka, short for Sukhanovskaya osoborezhimnaya tyur'ma (Russian: Сухановская особорежимная тюрьма ) 'Sukhanovo special-regime prison,' was a prison established by the NKVD under N. I. Yezhov in 1938 for "particularly dangerous enemies of the people" on the grounds of the old Ekaterinskaia Pustyn' Monastery near Vidnoye, just south of Moscow.  Known officially as Special Object 110 (Russian: Спецобъект № 110 ), it was said to be worse than the Lubyanka, Lefortovo, or Butyrka prisons in Moscow itself.  Since 1958 it was a jail hospital.  During 1992 the prison was returned to the church as a monastery and on November 17, 1992, the first vows were made within its walls.

The Old Vic is a 1,000-seat, not-for-profit producing theatre, located just south-east of Waterloo station on the corner of the Cut and Waterloo Road in Lambeth, London, England.  Established in 1818 as the Royal Coburg Theatre, and renamed in 1833 the Royal Victoria Theatre, in 1871 it was rebuilt and reopened as the Royal Victoria Palace.  It was taken over by Emma Cons in 1880 and formally named the Royal Victoria Hall, although by this time it was already known as the "Old Vic".  In 1898, a niece of Cons, Lilian Baylis assumed management and began a series of Shakespeare productions in 1914.  The building was damaged in 1940 during air raids and it became a Grade II* listed building in 1951 after it reopened.
