Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the realities of life in English convict prisons, uncovering the detrimental effects of its indiscriminate association policy, where hardened criminals prey on the morals of first-time offenders. Written by a former inmate and insider, the author reveals the different types of criminals, from hardened professionals to those who committed crimes out of desperation, questioning whether society has failed them by allowing them to be thrown together in such a dangerous environment. The author provides a revealing glimpse into the methods and mentality of professional thieves, and their insidious impact on the prison environment. The book argues for reform, emphasizing the need for a classication of prisoners, with a focus on education and rehabilitation rather than punishment.

Cover has wear and soiling. Endpapers soiled. This was the Report: [To accompany bill H. R. 12291.] The Select Committee to Inquire into the Importation of Contract Laborers, Convicts, Paupers, Etc., having completed their investigation, respectfully report. The two principal acts regulating immigration were those of 1882 and 1885. The committee held hearings/sessions in New York City, Boston, Pittsburgh, and Detroit. A great may witnesses were sworn and a large amount of testimony was taken, which was submitted with the Report. The great majority of immigrants were received at the port of New York. During the fiscal year 1888 the number of immigrants landing at the different sea-ports of the United States was 546,889. 418,423 (about 76 per cent) came via the port of New York. It was shown that many criminals had been sent to the United States by officials of the European Governments. The investigation showed that a number of paupers had been admitted to the United States. The enforcement of provisions of law against the importation of contract laborers was proving difficult. The members of the committee, including those presenting the views of the minority, "agrees with the majority of the committee in reaching the conclusion that some law should be enacted which would, more effectually than the present laws, restrict and if possible stop entirely the influx into the United States of all such persons who, instead of benefiting out country, as the large majority of immigrants undoubtedly, are a direct source of evil in many ways." The minority thought 'that a large number of people who now fill our poor-houses, insane asylums, hospitals, and other charitable institutions, as well as the horse of the most ignorant, most wretched, and lease desirable people of certain parts of Europe, who now crowd some of our largest cities, and whose presence enables selfish employers of labor to force and keep down the wages of American laborers, both native and adopted, should never have been admitted to land in the United States.".
