Description:

Published over 200 years after prison reformer John Howard's "The State of Prisons in England and Wales", this contains contributions reporting on a variety of penal institutions around the world. Claims and good intentions are contrasted with actual prison conditions.

Synopsis:

In 1777 John Howard wrote The State of the Prisons in England and Wales, with Preliminary Observations and an Account of Some Foreign Prisons. Two centuries later, this extraordinary document commemorates his achievements in campaigning for reform. In the spirit of Howard himself, the Howard League for Penal Reform have compiled detailed observations of prisons from Sweden to South Africa, and from India to Nicaragua. The result is a valuable resource which includes unique insights into previously undocumented prison regimes.
