Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a thorough report on the treatment of inmates in British convict prisons during 1850. Contrasting the penal systems used in various prisons, such as Pentonville, Millbank, Parkhurst, Portland, and the hulks, the author provides statistics and analysis on the success of each facility's approach to crime and rehabilitation. The author argues for a balance between periods of solitary confinement and labor on public works, believing that it fosters inmates' moral development while instilling discipline. Filled with first-hand accounts and observations from prison governors, chaplains, and surgeons, this book provides a valuable overview of the British prison system in the mid-19th century and its evolving approach to crime and punishment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
