Hi all.
I have a document relating to an individual who was released from Borz(?) Island Prison 540.
I think it is in Bermuda.
Can anyone shed any light on this place?
Thanks,
Dowd

It's more usually spelled Boaz Island. If you try googling that you'll find lots of info. Sorry, I have to head for bed now, otherwise would say more.

Though it is still a bit far from your location it is nearer than Bermuda.

Jill Chambers in her article on 'Prison hulks in Bermuda' mentions the opening of Boaz Island prison and the transfer of convicts there from the hulks:
