About this title

Synopsis

This book details the rise and establishment of a new prison facility near Folsom, California. The author describes the process of selecting the site, the design and construction of the buildings, and the challenges encountered along the way. The book also discusses the broader context of prison reform and the changing attitudes toward punishment in the late 19th century. The author argues that the Branch State Prison at Folsom was a significant step forward in the development of a more humane and effective penal system. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of corrections or the history of California.
