The Gauwicks are considered one of the oldest families to have been sent to the Island; they can trace their ancestry right back to the first establishment of the Carcernatorum as a prison, an ancestor having worked their way as lamp-lighters and labourers to a place within the less restricted areas of the city. 
Since then, the Gauwicks haven't stopped building; the family runs the first and only mass steelworks factory within the Carcernatorum, providing the Carcernatorum Watch with regular weaponry and armour. Their money ties and supplies have kept the Watch from breaking down the doors to their more illicit practises -- it doesn't hurt that they have a Warden purchasing their more refined narcotics made under the Steelwork factories.
