Description

Explore the history of institutionalization in Ireland through this detailed study by Manchester University Press. This book examines the incarceration of tens of thousands of men, women, and children during the first fifty years of Irish independence. It provides a comprehensive overview of the network of institutions that were integral to the emerging state, including psychiatric hospitals, mother and baby homes, Magdalen homes, Reformatory and Industrial schools, prisons, and Borstal. Readers gain access to a wealth of contemporaneous accounts that describe life within these austere and forbidding places. The text offers an explanation for why this system lasted so long and examines the reasons behind its eventual decline. This work is an essential resource for those studying Irish history, social institutions, and the evolution of the state.
