Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prisons and Prisoners A. Thorough conviction of the high importance of the qu estion of Prison Discipline, as it bears upon the moral and social condition of the community, and the positive assurance felt of the general want of correct information, together with a large amount of existing preja dice, are the considerations which have induced the writer to enter upon the subject of the following pages. His particular atten tion has long been given to the condition of penal institutions and their general regime, and as Opportunities have been presented, he has made himself acquainted with the main points of dispute te specting the prevailing systems of discipline at home and abroad, and in no limited degree, by personal observation, has endeavoured to ascertain their practical results.

Download or read book Prisons and Prisoners written by Constance Georgina Lytton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prisons and Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences In the year 1906 my godmother, Lady Bloomfield, died. She had shown me much kindness and I had never found an Opportunity to serve her in any way, the generosity had been all on her side yet, at her death, she left me some money, without any conditions as to how I should spend it. It gave me a strange new feeling Of power and exhilaration. I look back upon this event as being spiritually the starting point in my new life, Of which this book will tell, although, from the practical point of View, it seems only by a series Of coincidences that my after experiences were evolved from it. I looked about me with a View to spending the money. I had a fancy to put it to some public use. The commonly accepted channels of philanthropy did not appeal to me. I shifted my inquiries in other directions. I remember that at this time I was chiefly occupied with the idea that reformers were for the most part town dwellers, their philo Sophy and schemes attuned to those surroundings. There seemed to me need for a counteracting influence to attempt reform and regeneration on behalf Of country dwellers. The noiseless revolution which had been worked in a few decades by the system Of compulsory education seemed to me tainted throughout by the ideals of townsfolk. The influence Of teachers and clergy, Of public authorities in general, sets before the nation's children and their parents ideals which mould them into townsfolk.'

This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chapters on Prisons and Prisoners, and the Prevention of Crime It would not have been difficult (at least in other hands) to make the subject more attractive to the lover of light reading. There is more romance in real life than is generally supposed, and there exist materials in abundance Within the walls of a prison, for the construction of the most exciting tales. To attempt, however, to gratify a taste of this kind would be, in the writer's judgment, to pander to a morbid appetite, and to plant with one hand some of the germs of criminality in the breasts of the young, whilst professing to eradicate them with the other. Therefore, only such facts are here referred to as seemed calculated from their truth, their painfulness, and their moral, to engage the healthful sympathies of the heart, and instruct as well as interest the mind. A Christian cannot trifle with the guilt or misery of his fellow-man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Prison Life Classic Reprint written by John M. Brewer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prison Life The Legislature of Maryland by joint resolution adjourned to meet in the City of Frederick, September 17th, 1861. The author of this brief narrative of Prison Life in Government prisons was the Reading Clerk of the Maryland Senate. The office which he held clearly indicated his duties. The writer, in common with other citizens of Maryland who were attracted to the temporary capital of the State by the momentous questions to be discussed by the Maryland Legislature, availed himself of what he then believed and still believes to be the unquestioned prerogative of every freeman - the right to express his convictions of public duty. Having this perception of political right, the writer of this did not hesitate freely to exchange opinion with citizens of Frederick and gentlemen from other sections of the State, doubtless drawn there by the magnitude of the questions to be discussed in the Legislature, and upon whose deliberations the destiny of their State was in a measure to be decided. Believing at that time, as he still believes, that the old Union was hopelessly destroyed, the writer, a citizen born, reared and educated in Maryland, necessarily felt some interest in the future political affiliation which his State might form. When, during the summer of 1861, it became manifest from the repeated acts of tyranny on the part of the General Government, that Maryland had ceased to exist as a State, but was considered only a mere province of the Federal Government. The last free Legislature elected by the freemen of the former State of Maryland, through the Committee on Federal Relations, made a Report on the condition of the State, which will be read and admired as long as the English language exists. After they had eloquently and truthfully portrayed, and indignantly protested against the wrongs and outrages heaped upon a brave, spirited, but helpless State, they adjourned to meet on the 17th of September, 1861.

A Dedication, however, to his most loving and ever respective kind uncle, Mr Mathew Mainwaring of Namptwich, in Chesshire, suggests the county of which we may reasonably presume Mynshul to have been a native, and this again affords a clue for ascertaining the family from which, in all probability, he must have been descended. There appear to have been originally two distinguished families in Chesshire of the name of Mynshul, or Minshull, according to a more usual orthography.

Download or read book American Prisoners of the Revolution Classic Reprint written by Danske Dandridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Prisoners of the Revolution HE writer of this book has been interested for many years in the subject of the sufferings of the American prisoners of the Revolution. Finding the information she sought widely scattered, she has, for her own use, and for that of all students of the subject, gathered all the facts she could obtain within the covers of this volume. There is little that is orig inal in the compilation. The reader will find that extensive use has been made of such narratives as that Captain Dring has left us. The accounts could have been given in the compiler's own words, but they would only, thereby, have lost in strength. The orig inal narratives are all out of print, very scarce and hard to obtain, and the writer feels justified in re printing them in this collection, for the sake of the general reader interested in the subject, and not able to search for himself through the mass of original material, some of which she has only discovered after months of research. Her work has mainly consisted in abridging these records, collected from so many dif ferent sources. The writer desires to express her thanks to the courteous librarians of the Library of Congress and of the War and Navy Departments; to Dr. Lang worthy for permission to publish his able and inter esting paper on the subject of the prisons in New York, and to many others who have helped her in her task.
