Synopsis
Notes On A Visit Made To Some Of The Prisons In Scotland And The North Of England by Joseph John Gurney. This work records a tour of prisons in Scotland and northern England undertaken with Elizabeth Fry and argues for reform of prison discipline. Gurney presents observations on overcrowding, lack of classification, insufficient lighting and ventilation, inadequate food and clothing, and the prevalence of idle time and corruption. He advocates humane treatment, classification of prisoners, productive employment, regular inspection, religious instruction, and the establishment of visiting committees to monitor prisoners during and after confinement. The volume covers numerous institutions such as Doncaster, York Castle, Durham Old Jail, Newcastle, Haddington, Aberdeen, Edinburgh Bridewell, Lancaster Castle, Preston, and Manchester New Bailey, offering a largely cautionary panorama and a program for transforming prisons into schools of industry and virtue.
