Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough report on the treatment of inmates in British convict prisons during 1850. Contrasting the penal systems used in various prisons, such as Pentonville, Millbank, Parkhurst, Portland, and the hulks, the author provides statistics and analysis on the success of each facility's approach to crime and rehabilitation. The author argues for a balance between periods of solitary confinement and labor on public works, believing that it fosters inmates' moral development while instilling discipline. Filled with first-hand accounts and observations from prison governors, chaplains, and surgeons, this book provides a valuable overview of the British prison system in the mid-19th century and its evolving approach to crime and punishment.
