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.
