Synopsis

This book explores and documents the state of prisons in 19th century Scotland and the north of England, revealing the inhumane and often overcrowded conditions prisoners endured. While some prisons exhibited positive signs of kindness from their jailers, most prisoners suffered from lack of hygiene, food, clothing, religious instruction, and meaningful work, as well as the absence of separation between tried and untried prisoners or male and female prisoners. The author offers suggestions for improvement including regular inspections, improved classification, religious instruction, and employment, all within the context of a larger discussion of the importance of prison reform in reducing crime rates and improving society as a whole. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the evolution of prison systems and the ongoing need for reform.

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.
