A Letter on the Nature and Effects of the Tread-Wheel: As an Instrument of Prison Labour and Punishment, Addressed by the Right Hon. Robert Peel, M. ... &C. &C.; With an Appendix of Notes - Softcover
Synopsis
This book by the author analyzes the negative effects of the Tread-wheel as a form of punishment for prisoners in the 1800s. The author argues the machine was a form of torture that led to many prisoners to suffer severe physical and mental health issues (including death). The author's personal experience working as a prisoner on the Tread-wheel gives the book a powerful perspective on the devastating effects of this machine. Despite being created to replace the death penalty, the Tread-wheel is presented as equally cruel and unusual punishment. The author highlights the importance of understanding the cruel and unusual nature of the Tread-wheel to ensure it is never used again.
