About This Item
London: Methuen, 1985. 1st edition. Nice copy. octavo. hardback with dust jacket xii + 311pp., text ills., map, appends., bibliog., index, Ôthe first account of the process of imprisonment in England between 1830 and 1914 to be drawn largely from the writings of prisoners themselves. The period was in some ways one of great change, beginning with an astonishing penitentiary experiment when prisons were seen as moral hospitals. But this approach eventually gave way to the idea of penal servitude and created a legacy of harshness and sufferingÕ
