Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an early work by John Altgeld, comprises his writings and speeches on criminal justice reform in the late 19th century. Written as a cogent indictment of the American penal system of the time, the book is remarkable for its insights into human psychology and its enduring challenge to the very principles on which modern correctional institutions are founded. The author, a renowned lawyer, politician, and eventual governor of Illinois, was a firm believer that the criminal justice system was stacked against the poor and powerless. His work is an impassioned plea for a more humane and equitable approach to crime and punishment, with a particular focus on the plight of young and first-time offenders. This book offers a thought-provoking examination of the relationship between poverty, crime, and imprisonment, and is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of penology and the fight for criminal justice reform.
