In some cases it was a moderately safe charge to lay, and most warders had a fixed idea that you couldn't go wrong with Benjamin Cudd. Cudd was talking in church again; if he wasn't talking, he had just left oe; if he hadn't just left off, he was just going to begin: put him down for report. So, when Cudd was brought up, as usual, on Monday morning, the governor, as usual, was nasty to him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Children in Prison and Other Cruelties of Prison Life  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Children in Prison and Other Cruelties of Prison Life Classic Reprint written by Oscar Wilde and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Children in Prison and Other Cruelties of Prison Life The present treatment of children is terrible, primarily from people not understanding the peculiar psychology of a child's nature. A child can understand a punishment inflicted by an individual, such as a parent or guardian, and bear it with a certain amount of acquiescence. What it cannot understand is a punish ment inflicted by Sopiety. It cannot realise what Society is. With grown people it is, of course, the reverse. Those of us who are either in prison or have been sent there, can understand, and do understand, what that collective force called Society means, and whatever we may think of its methods or claims, we can force ourselves to accept it. Punishment inflicted on us by an individual, on the other hand, is a thing that no grown person endures or is expected to endure.

The North Gate stood about 400 feet north of Stockade Branch and the South Gate about 200 feet south of the stream. F rom each gate a street ran eastward through the prison to the opposite wall. South Street, at the South Gate, was used to haul in rations to the prisoners. The street leading from the North Gate was called Market Street (or Broadway on some contemporary maps), and along it the prison sutler and other food merchants set up shops and stalls. Both streets were about 10 feet wide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Prisons  Police and Punishment

Download or read book Prisons Police and Punishment written by Edward Carpenter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prisons, Police and Punishment: An Inquiry Into the Causes and Treatment of Crime and Criminals Changes no doubt are coming, and better social conditions. Meanwhile, however, it is necessary that our treatment of the Criminal should be an aid to progress, and not an obstruction - as it so often is to-day. Mr. Charlton T. Lewis, President of the National Prison Association of the United States, has said that to consign a man to prison is commonly to enrol him in the criminal class (see Appendix C). But surely, if we are to have prisons at all, their action and result ought to be just the opposite. I have ventured to indicate in the first few chapters of this little book some of the reforms in Prison management and Criminal procedure which are most needed, and which might at once be pressed forward; and in the Note at the end of Chapter IV I have made a list of these. Coincident changes must no doubt also take place in our Police-system, and to these I have alluded in Chapter V. Finally, since there is a growing feeling on all hands, especially among advanced officials and criminologists, that prisons and pun ishment are in their present form outworn, and productive of as much harm as good, I have endeavoured (in Chapter VI) to sketch a state of affairs in which the whole system of government by violence will lapse and become antiquated, leaving society free to shape itself by voluntary methods according to its own good sense: feeling assured that if society has good sense it will be able to shape itself in this way, and if it has not there does not appear much likelihood at present of its rulers being able to supply the deficiency.

Download or read book Songs From the Silence written by John. Francis Glynn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs From the Silence: A Book of Prison Verse Met him and he put his poems into my hands. Read ing them, I had a poignant sense of beauty and pathos; the beauty that is song, the pathos of human Fate. I felt like one who finds a flower, dewy and fragrant, beside a dusty road. The wind bloweth where it list eth. There are lyrics in this book, so truly lovely, so unfeignedly simple and sincere, with such an infectious lilt and shine of color, that one's heart melts before them. I mean such things as Unfettered, Rose Petals, Song, Rube Robin, Dust Sanctuary, and others yet, bits of entrancing melody, thrusts into the deeps of living. They constitute the testament of a very gen uiuc poet. They have the unmistakable ring, the lyric cry that makes music in the ear, and goes to the uni ersal heart of man. The voice is so authentic, the vision often so spiritual in its homely, disarming way, that it matters little if there be an occasional stammer in the utterance; I almost think it adds to the charm. And so I wish the book the good luck it deserves, and predict that many will be grateful for this gift. That it comes out of a prison cell, lends a wistful qual ity to its note. But that appeal, save as it begets a sympathetic mood to receive the message, is not to be overstressed. Mr. Glynn's work can stand on its own.
