Excerpt from Prison Problems: Propounded in Prose and Poetry
Abraham Lincoln, then only a young man, visited New Orleans, stood before a slave market and saw human beings sold at public auction, took this secret vow: If ever I get a chance to strike that insti tution a blow, I will do it. With Lincoln's view fresh in his memory a gaunt, callow youth, on his first real excursion into the big world visited the Ohio State penitentiary where the sight of a horde of lazy hirelings sitting with guns across their knees, oozing out an existence as guards over their fellowmen who slaved with down cast eyes, heavy hearts and fettered hopes, not that they might be reformed half so much as that greater profits might be piled up for the contractors whose slaves these prisoners were; contrasting the life of the guards and keepers with the Simon Legrees of slavery times, as that youth left that relic of the dark ages he took Lincoln's vow: If I ever get a chance to strike that institution a blow, I'll do it.
This volume of Prison Problems was conceived, compiled and is sent forth as an effort to hit that inhuman prison policy that treats men as criminals instead of looking upon them as brothers.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book dares to challenge conventional wisdom about the nature and causes of crime, punishment, and rehabilitation. It argues that the current system is failing criminals and society alike and offers a fresh perspective on how we can create a more just and effective criminal justice system. The author, a respected criminologist, draws on decades of research and experience to make the case for a fundamental shift in the way we think about and deal with crime. He challenges the notion that there is a distinct "criminal class" and argues that crime is a complex issue with many contributing factors, including poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunity. He also takes a critical look at the prison system, arguing that it is often more harmful than helpful and does little to rehabilitate offenders. The book offers a comprehensive exploration of the causes of crime, the effectiveness of different sentencing strategies, and the challenges of reintegrating ex-offenders into society. It also includes a rich collection of personal stories from criminals, victims, and those who work in the criminal justice system, providing a human face to the complex issues discussed in the book. Ultimately, this book is a call for a more humane and compassionate approach to crime and punishment. It argues that we must move away from the current system of retribution and punishment and instead focus on prevention, rehabilitation, and restorative justice. By doing so, we can create a more just and equitable society for everyone.
