This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Campaigns against Corporal Punishment explores the theory and practice of punishment in Antebellum America from a broad, comparative perspective. It probes the concerns underlying the naval, prison, domestic, and educational reform campaigns which occurred in New England and New York from the late 1820s to the late 1850s. Focusing on the common forms of physical punishment inflicted on seamen, prisoners, women, and children, the book reveals the effect of these campaigns on actual disciplinary practices. Myra C. Glenn also places the crusade against corporal punishment in the context of various other contemporary reform movements such as the crusade against intemperance and that against slavery. She shows how regional and political differences affected discussions of punishment and discipline.

Download or read book Memoirs written by József Mindszenty and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These moving Memoirs reveal the full story of the legendary hero-priest József Mindszenty, who has come to be regarded as a symbol of Christian and national resistance to Communism. His brave, uncompromising leadership against the atheistic totalitarian government set the example and laid the foundation for the strong, outspoken Christian leadership and witness of the Church in Hungary today. Mindszenty was arrested, imprisoned, and physically and psychologically tortured by the Communist government. He spent eight years in solitary confinement. After the Hungarian uprising in 1956, he took refuge for fifteen years in the American embassy. This work is an extraordinary contribution to contemporary history and an eyewitness account of a Church and country under brutal Communist domination in the Cold War era. It also sets the record straight on the causes and circumstances of Mindszenty's departure from the embassy, his visit to the Vatican, and his deposition to the archiepiscopal office. Memoirs is an unforgettable reading experience.

Download or read book Crime and Punishment in New Hampshire 1812 1914 written by Timothy Dodge and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1995 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changing definitions of crime accompanied the economic transformation of seacoast New Hampshire from a predominantly agricultural, rural society in 1812 to one that was mainly industrial, commercial, and urban by 1914. This work analyzes a sample of 820 felony incarcerations recorded at the New Hampshire State Prison for that period. Prison records are used to analyze the role of the state prison. This study finds that the original rehabilitative mission of the prison was subordinated to the exploitation of prison inmates through the implementation of the contract labor system.
