Synopsis

A thorough, research-driven look at how prisons have evolved toward punishment and reform, from early systems to modern inmate self-government.

This revised, enlarged study surveys the history, theory, and practice of prisons and punishments. It traces how ideas about crime and reform have shaped penitentiary systems in the United States and abroad, and it analyzes the balance between security, justice, and humane treatment. Readers will encounter debates over different prison models, the impact of self-government, and the evolving role of parole and rehabilitation.

organized around the central question: how can a society reduce crime while protecting the rights of those confined? The book examines practical approaches, examines past experiments, and considers future directions in prevention, treatment, and institutional design. It is essential for students, policy makers, and general readers interested in the history and future of criminal justice.

• Historical overview of major prison systems and reform movements


• Discussion of punishment, rehabilitation, and the ethics of confinement


• In-depth look at self-government, honor systems, and probation within prisons


• Analysis of environmental and social factors in crime prevention

Ideal for readers of criminology, penology, and social history who want a clear, evidence-backed account of how punishment and reform have evolved—and what that means for today’s justice landscape.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
