A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Being at Ghent during the early part of this winter, I took some pains in examining the excellent prison of that city, known by the name of theM aison de Force. On my return toE ngland, I communicated to theS ociety for the Improvement of Prison Discipline, and for the reformation of juvenile offenders, the intelligence which was thus acquired. The members of that institution had accurately investigated the state of almost ever} jail in the metropolis and its vicinity.
