Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Committee on Penitentiary to the Thirty-First General Assembly of Missouri: To Whom Was Referred the Resolution of Mr. Johnson of St. Louis, Instructing Them to Inquire Into the Mode of Punishing Prisoners Confined in the Penitentiary
It will be noticed in some of the testimony by persons who have had extended prison experience in other States, that the Missouri State Penitentiary not only compares favorably, but is greatly preferable, if such a term is admissible, to the prisons of Illinois, Indiana, Michi gan and Wisconsin not only as regards the general treatment of convicts as applies to their food, clothing, bedding and labor, but also to the various modes of punishment inflicted.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book reports on a Missouri legislative committee's 1881 investigation into alleged cruel and unusual punishments in the Missouri State Penitentiary. The report includes information gathered from prison officials, guards, inmates, and other witnesses, and provides insights into the prison's disciplinary practices, inmate treatment, and the rationale for employing corporal punishment as a means of maintaining order. The report also examines the efficacy of alternative disciplinary methods and offers a glimpse into the broader historical and social context of prison reform in the United States during the 19th century.
