Penal Servitude 2 Volumes
The abandonment of transportation as a penal system in the 1850s made a review of the entire British prison system necessary. The commission of 1878–79, whose report and evidence comprise this set, reaffirm the many and wide differences in the construction, diet, labour and general discipline of prisons and make recommendations on many aspects of prison conditions and penal reforms. Supplementary material on penal servitude will be found in papers on related topics in the Irish University Press sets Transportation and Prisons.
