A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Of hmi who hopes to be forgiven, it is indispensably required that he forgive. On this great duty eternity is suspended, and to him that refuses to practice it the throne of nierc ij is inaccessible, and theS aviour of the tvorld has been born in vain, Dr. Johnson. The quality of mercy is an absent factor insofar as its application to penal conditions is concerned. There exists a oingular, relentless attitude on the part of the law toward the offender that curbs all hope of regeneration ere it is born, breeding a defiant, stubborn nature that results in no good. An exhaustive treatment of the American Prison System would fill many volumes; every volume a tribute to the revengeful creed of society; every chapter a damning indictment of a humanity, which, through its colossal ignorance, has fostered, at an enormous expense, a degenerative, crimebreeding, soul-killing prison system: every paragraph a direct refutation of the medieval principle that punitive measures are a deterrent to crime and protection to society. It vould tell a story of brutality, the heartlessness of which has not been equalled since the days of theS panish I nquisition. The tortured bodies of theS ystem svictims rise in silent, ghostly judgment oer every generation past, but the mangled souls and rotted lives of the sons and daughters of this generation, defiled and lost to all hope of redemption by contact with our code of vindictive justice, is the evidence on which society is now condemned. To put the gist of this immense subject within the compass of one volume is no easy task. But it has been accomplished.
