Excerpt from Report From the Select Committee on the House of Lords on the Present State of Discipline in Gaols and Houses of Correction, 1863: Together With the Proceedings of the Committee, Minutes of Evidence, and Appendix
ON a subject so large in extent as that referred to them, the Committee have obviously been unable to carry their inquiries into the particular management and details of all or even of the majority of county and borough prisons. Enquiry into the Irish and Scotch prisons is not included in the Order of the House; and the Welsh Gaols, from their smaller size, and as falling naturally under the rules and principles of penal discipline which are applicable to the English prisons, have appeared to demand somewhat less investigation than those in England. With regard to the English Gaols and Houses of Correction, they have endeavoured, as far as lay in their power, to summon for examination witnesses who, from official position or from known differences of personal opinion, might in some sense be said to represent the various schools of thought and practice which the administration of our prisons has developed.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a critical issue of the 19th century: prison reform. The author, drawing on extensive research and evidence, examines the state of prison discipline in England and Wales, exploring the stark differences in practices across various gaols and houses of correction. The book meticulously analyzes contrasting systems of punishment, including the separate and associated systems, the efficacy of solitary confinement, and the debate over the appropriate forms of hard labor. The author also scrutinizes discrepancies in prison diet, labor assignments, and overall treatment, advocating for a more standardized and humane approach. The book explores the complex relationship between punishment and reform, arguing that while punishment must be a cornerstone of any effective prison system, it must be implemented alongside strategies that promote rehabilitation. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful account of the ongoing struggle for prison reform in England, offering valuable insights into the challenges and potential solutions of this crucial social issue.
