Description
Originally published in 1934, The Modern English Prison was prepared in the belief that among the growing literature of crime and the treatment of crime, there should be some room for some account of the English prison system as it stood. Its first aim was to give an objective and comprehensive view of the system as it was at the time, rather than as it had been or ought to have been: the historical matter is therefore limited to what is necessary for proper understanding of present practice and no attempt is made to trespass on the ground of the penologist. Here is an authoritative and up-to-date account of the Prison System in England and Wales, prepared with the approval of the Prison Commissioners.
