Solitude in Imprisonment - Jonas Hanway - Bog

This book is a proposal for a new approach to imprisonment and punishment. It argues that solitude, proper labor, and a spare diet are the most humane and effectual means of bringing malefactors who have forfeited their lives or are subject to transportation to a right sense of their condition. The book is a fascinating exploration of the history of imprisonment and punishment, and provides a thought-provoking perspective on modern approaches to the criminal justice system.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
