About This Book

The work traces the development and practice of penal transportation and contemporary prison systems, describing the origins of sending offenders overseas, conditions aboard convict ships and in penal settlements, and everyday discipline within those communities. It compares British methods with continental and colonial practices, examines debates over cellular versus association confinement, and outlines reforms such as probation and measures to limit imprisonment. The account surveys the decline of transportation, presents examples from various penal colonies and foreign systems, and assesses administrative, medical, and social considerations that influenced punishment, rehabilitation, and crime prevention.
