Prisons and Prisoners In Victorian Britain provides an illustrated insight into the Victorian prison system and the experiences of those within it--on both sides of the bars. Featuring stories of crime and misdeeds, this fascinating book includes chapters on a typical day inside a Victorian prison--food, divine service, exercise, and medical provision; the punishments inflicted on convicts--such as hard labor, flogging, the treadwheel, and shot drill; and an overview of the ultimate penalty paid by prisoners--execution. Richly illustrated with a series of photographs, engravings, documents, and letters, this volume is sure to appeal to all those interested in crime and social history in Victorian Britain.
