Prisons 21 volumes
Peel’s Goal Act of 1823 formed the basis of the British prison system. It laid down rules to be followed in every prison, regulations for inspection and, in general, envisaged better organization of both the prisons and their administration. Despite this legislation, the prison system remained in a chaotic state. It was not until 1835 that a centralized inspection system came into existence. This important step was due to the report (published in 1834) of William Crawford, the pioneering prison reformer who had been sent to America to observe the penitentiary system there. From the time of Crawford’s report to the end of the century, the reports and papers included in these volumes reflect the slow but steady evolvement of the British prison system into a more humane and scientific programme.
