Publisher's Synopsis
""Our Present Gaol System Deeply Depraving To The Prisoner And A Positive Evil To The Community: Some Remedies Proposed"" is a book written by Joseph Adshead in 1847. The book is a critique of the prison system in England during the 19th century, arguing that it was not only inhumane to prisoners but also detrimental to society as a whole. Adshead proposes various remedies to improve the prison system, including the use of education and religious instruction, the separation of prisoners by age and gender, and the implementation of a system of rewards and punishments based on behavior. He also suggests that prisoners should be given more opportunities to work and learn skills that could be useful to them upon release. The book provides a detailed analysis of the problems with the prison system at the time, including overcrowding, poor hygiene, and the use of physical punishment. Adshead argues that these conditions only serve to further degrade prisoners and make them more likely to reoffend upon release. Overall, ""Our Present Gaol System Deeply Depraving To The Prisoner And A Positive Evil To The Community: Some Remedies Proposed"" is a thought-provoking and insightful critique of the prison system in 19th century England, offering solutions that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
