About This Book

The work surveys the experience of enemy prisoners held in Britain during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, weighing accusations of cruelty while reconstructing daily life. It charts the institutional system—prison hulks and ships, inland depots, and parole arrangements—and examines food, labor, handicrafts, discipline, escapes, complaints, and local social contacts. Case studies of principal prisons and notable escape incidents are combined with statistics, memorial evidence, contemporary illustrations, and variorum notes to present administrative practices and the human dimensions of captivity.
