Description

Explore the historical evolution of the English penal system with this Routledge Revival edition. Originally published in 1968, this book provides a detailed account of how prison structures changed from sixteenth-century common gaols and houses of correction to the statutory changes of the twentieth century. Readers will follow the history of significant reform efforts led by figures such as John Howard, Elizabeth Fry, Jeremy Bentham, and James Neild. The text examines the development of specific penal methods, including the cellular system, the treadwheel, and the crank. It also reviews the penal dietary and the system of progressive stages. This volume serves as a comprehensive resource for those interested in the history of local government and social reform. It traces the shifts in administration and the methods used to manage prisoners throughout several centuries of English history.
