1990 marks the bicentenary of the death of John Howard, father of penal reform. His book, The State of the Prisons, made an enormous impact, leading to legislation and eventual reform in many countries in nineteenth-century Europe.
Full Description
In 1777 John Howard wrote The State of the Prisons in England and Wales, with Preliminary Observations and an Account of Some Foreign Prisons. Two centuries later, this extraordinary document commemorates his achievements in campaigning for reform.
In the spirit of Howard himself, the Howard League for Penal Reform have compiled detailed observations of prisons from Sweden to South Africa, and from India to Nicaragua. The result is a valuable resource which includes unique insights into previously undocumented prison regimes.
