Description

Originally published in 1968, this comprehensive historical study traces the evolution of the English prison system from sixteenth-century common gaols and houses of correction through twentieth-century statutory reforms. The book examines the pioneering work of reformers including John Howard, Elizabeth Fry, Jeremy Bentham, James Neild, Sir T. Fowell Buxton and J. J. Gurney, documenting their successive efforts to transform penal administration. Readers will discover detailed accounts of institutional innovations including the cellular system, the treadwheel and crank mechanisms, penal dietary practices and the system of progressive stages. This Routledge Revivals edition presents essential primary-source material for historians, criminology students and those studying the development of the British criminal justice system.
