About this book
Remarks and Suggestions for a Uniform System of Criminal Correction
Author: Charles Pennell Measor
Year: 1864
A detailed 1864 treatise evaluating the Victorian era's penal system. The author critiques the "inequality, uncertainty, and inefficiency" of current punishments and offers suggestions for a more consistent, humane, yet deterrent system . It specifically addresses the reports of the Royal Commissioners and the House of Lords on prison discipline, discussing topics such as the failure of the "ticket of leave" system, the necessity of cumulative punishment for habitual offenders, and the physiological effects of hard labor and dietary restrictions on prisoners .
