Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Drawing on the author's first-hand experience as an inmate in the English prison system, this book is a passionate exposà of the ineffectiveness and brutality of the prison system. Written at the turn of the 20th century, it argues that prisons as they are structured achieve the opposite of their intended goal. Rather than reforming prisoners, this book argues that English prisons actually manufacture criminals and lunatics. The author contends that the system is based on no principle, is terribly expensive, and fosters the creation of professional criminals. To remedy this, he presents in-depth and practical changes needed to transform these institutions into effective tools of rehabilitation. Filled with shocking anecdotes and sharp insights into the prison system and its impact on prisoners, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the criminal justice system and for anyone who wants to understand the human experience of incarceration. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
