Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines America's early prison system implemented at the beginning of the 19th century. The original goals were to reform criminals and deter crime, but by the 1820s, its effectiveness was being fiercely debated. The author explores the various deficiencies, including the prisons' construction and management, arguing that instead of reforming, the system inadvertently promotes recidivism. The book further critiques the rampant use of pardons and highlights the need for more individualized treatment of inmates. Ultimately, this work illuminates the complexities of penology and the ongoing struggle to balance punishment and rehabilitation in the American criminal justice system.
