Items related to Prisons and punishments of London
There has never been a city with more prisons than London, and probably none whose courts have sent so many to public torment and execution. Prisons and Punishments of London is the first full survey of London's many prisons through the ages — from the Tower to Pentonville — and of the punishments meted out to felons. With a cast of characters ranging from highwayman Dick Turpin to reformer Elizabeth Fry, and packed with eyewitness accounts, anecdotes, little-known facts and numerous illustrations, Prisons and Punishments of London touches on everything associated with prison life, from the inmates to the rough justice of the day.

About the Author:
Richard Byrne was born in Salford, raised and educated in Manchester, and later studied at the London School of Economics and Bedford College, London. Having once wanted to be a lawyer or an engineer, he moved with characteristic logic into the probation service and remains fascinated by the contrast between real-life and fictional crime. He lives in Manchester with his partner and two children—a household of book and museum addicts. More books from Richard Byrne are available at: http://ReAnimus.com/store/?author=Richard Byrne
