Sinossi
Excerpt from Our Convicts: Their Riots and Their Causes, Containing Startling Revelations of the Frightful Abuses of Our Convict System, Official Correspondence, Etc;, Etc
My Lords and Gentlemen, if the outbreak at Chatham was an exceptional circumstance, it might, be impossible to arrive at the cause, although it is not at all probable that 800 men out of would be in Open and furious mutiny without some tangible reason being alleged. Rebellion is the chronic condition of all the convict prisons. I spent ten years under Sir Joshua J ebb, as first school master among convicts; I served in eight different convict prisons and hulks, and in every one of them, from time to time, occurred furious and general revolts. On one occasion the assistant-surgeon, Charles Hope, Esq, was murdered. I left the convict service in 1857, and since that time the rebellions among the convicts have been more frequent, and of a far more fearful and general character. In Dartmoor, at Portsmouth, at Portland, at Lewes, and at Chatham, during the last three years there have been far more mutinies among the convicts than ever were known before.
It has been kept from the knowledge of the Lords and Commons, but those acquainted with convicts well know that mutiny and riot are far more general in Sir J. J ebb's convict prisons than they ever were even in the horrible hulks.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the state of Englandâs prison service and convict management systems through the experiences of the author, who spent ten years in the service under Sir Joshua Jebb. The author argues that Jebbâs reforms had the opposite effect to that intended, highlighting the violent and rebellious nature of English prisons. The book offers a unique insight into the motivations behind criminal behavior and chronicles how the repeated outbreaks, riots, and murders exposed the failures of the contemporary English prison system. The authorâs personal anecdotes convey the human cost of these failures and put forth viable alternatives to the approach favored by Sir Jebb. These suggestions include deterrence through actual hardship and strict classification of prisoners. This book is highly relevant and timely given the continuing debate over prison reform, rehabilitation, and the role of the penal system in society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330397602_0
