Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive historical account of the New York state prison system. The author analyzes and interprets a range of primary and secondary sources to present a detailed picture of the development of the system from its origins in the early 19th century to the present day. The book examines the evolution of prison design, discipline, and rehabilitation programs, as well as the impact of social and economic factors on the prison population.

The book concludes by reflecting on the challenges and opportunities facing the New York state prison system in the 21st century. The author argues that the system must continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of society and to provide effective and humane punishment and rehabilitation for those who are incarcerated.

54, [2] pp. "Register and Descriptive List of Convicts under Sentence": pp. 12 - 35 [beginning with 1851]; "Transcript of Received, Escaped, and Returned Prisoners since the Inspection of State Prison Books": pp, 38 - 40. Last leaf blank. 8vo. 23.5 cm x 14 cm. This an interesting factual account regarding the early days of the prison, an era when it wasn't quite impregnable edifice that now stands; in 1854, 75 of 520 incarcerated individuals had escaped without recapture. This situation caused Governor John Bigler to write: "Gentlemen: Having learned from various reliable sources that quite a number of escapes have recently occurred from the State Prison, which, to some extent is in your charge, I deem it my duty respectfully to invite your attention to the section of the law regulating your duties. These escapes, permit me here to remark, give great force to allegations, daily and publicly made, that the prison building is insecure, and that its management is not such as to fully accomplish the object of its erection, in prevention and punishment of crime." However, since the place is still going strong, one can be reasonably confident the governor's concerns were addressed. Rare; Not in Cowan, Greenwood nor Rocq. Not in the LoC on-line catalogue.
