Excerpt from How to Reform Our Prison System
A pithy aphorism of Carlyle occurs to me as singularly appropriate for the first class I have referred to. Many a man thinks that it is goodness which keeps him from crime, when it is only his full stomach. On half allowance he would be as ugly and knavish as anybody. Don't mistake potatoes for principles. Ruskin must have had the third class in view when he wrote: The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities. It is written, If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it? And He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it As regards the second class, the self-complacent Englishman, the only way to rouse him is, I think, to shock him by flinging cold, hard facts at him.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Drawing on the author's first-hand experience as an inmate in the English prison system, this book is a passionate exposà of the ineffectiveness and brutality of the prison system. Written at the turn of the 20th century, it argues that prisons as they are structured achieve the opposite of their intended goal. Rather than reforming prisoners, this book argues that English prisons actually manufacture criminals and lunatics. The author contends that the system is based on no principle, is terribly expensive, and fosters the creation of professional criminals. To remedy this, he presents in-depth and practical changes needed to transform these institutions into effective tools of rehabilitation. Filled with shocking anecdotes and sharp insights into the prison system and its impact on prisoners, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the criminal justice system and for anyone who wants to understand the human experience of incarceration. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
