A History of English Prison Administration Volume 1 1750-1877

This study of English prisons from 1750 to their nationalization in 1877 is based on a detailed examination of the interplay between policy, administration and staffing. These issues are explored by drawing on a wide range of national and local material (much hitherto unused). Special attention is paid to the role of prison personnel and officials and the vital role they played in the changing position of prisons in the life of the country.
