Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1777, is the groundbreaking result of the author's extensive travels around England and into Europe. A leading figure in prison reform, the author meticulously documented the often inhumane conditions he witnessed firsthand in prisons and bridewells on both sides…of the English Channel. Altogether, his work captures the challenges, legal precedents, and the startling variety in treatment and conditions within the criminal justice systems of 18th-century England, Holland, France, Switzerland, and Germany. Thorough research and documentation is paired with a keen eye for detail and an incisive criticism of the disparities in treatment he observed, such as the lack of food, medical care, and basic sanitation, and the wide divergence in sentencing for similar crimes. A powerful combination of personal experience and thorough research, this book was instrumental in changing the course of the English prison system for the better, and its insights remain relevant and poignant centuries later. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
