Publisher's Synopsis
""Plan Of A Penal Statute, Proposed For Adoption To The Legislature Of Kentucky"" is a book written by Samuel Smith Nicholas and published in 1850. The book provides a detailed proposal for a new penal statute that could be adopted by the Legislature of Kentucky. The author argues that the current penal system in Kentucky is outdated and ineffective, and proposes a new system that is based on the principles of rehabilitation and reformation rather than punishment alone.

The author also discusses the importance of education and moral guidance in the rehabilitation process. Overall, ""Plan Of A Penal Statute"" is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the flaws in the current penal system and a thoughtful proposal for a more effective and humane approach to criminal justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
