Paperback. Condition: New. Henry Mayhew (1812-87), social reformer and journalist, is well known for his classic work of research on the London poor (also reissued in this series) and as one of the co-founders of Punch magazine in 1841. While working as the metropolitan correspondent for the London Morning Chronicle, Mayhew initiated several investigations into London's poor and the state of the city's prisons. Sourcing his information from guards and from prisoners themselves, Mayhew's monumental study of London criminal life (co-written with John Binny and published in 1862) includes analyses of crime areas, crime classifications and the state of the different prisons connected to them, observations on juvenile delinquents, and methods of discipline and control of prisoners. The book also provides detailed police and criminal statistics. His survey ultimately concluded that all of London's prisons were lacking in basic human necessities and were greatly in need of reform.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Criminal Prisons of London and Scenes of Prison Life is a non-fiction book written by Henry Mayhew and published in 1862. The book is a detailed account of the various prisons in London during the mid-19th century, their conditions, and the lives of the prisoners inside them. Mayhew was a journalist and social investigator who spent a significant amount of time visiting and interviewing prisoners in London's prisons. He provides a vivid and often disturbing description of the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, the brutality of the prison staff, and the daily struggles of the inmates. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a general overview of the criminal justice system in London, including the different types of prisons and their functions. The second part focuses on the individual prisons, including Newgate Prison, Millbank Prison, and Pentonville Prison. Mayhew describes the architecture, layout, and conditions of each prison, as well as the types of prisoners who were housed there. The third and final part of the book is a series of interviews with prisoners, including both men and women, who share their stories of life inside the prison walls. Mayhew's interviews provide a rare glimpse into the daily struggles of the prisoners, including the lack of food, clothing, and medical care, as well as the physical and emotional abuse they suffered at the hands of the prison staff. Overall, The Criminal Prisons of London and Scenes of Prison Life is a fascinating and eye-opening account of the harsh realities of prison life in 19th-century London. Mayhew's detailed descriptions and firsthand accounts provide a valuable historical perspective on the criminal justice system and its treatment of prisoners.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
