Letters On The Comparative Merits Of The Pennsylvania And New York Systems Of Penitentiary Discipline is a book written in 1836 by an anonymous author known only as ""A Massachusetts Man."" The book is a collection of letters that compare and contrast the prison systems in Pennsylvania and New York, which were two of the most widely recognized systems of penitentiary discipline in the United States at the time.The book begins with an overview of the Pennsylvania system, which was based on the idea of solitary confinement and penitence. In this system, prisoners were kept in individual cells for 23 hours a day and were only allowed to leave for exercise or work. The author praises this system for its emphasis on moral reform and rehabilitation, but also acknowledges its flaws, such as the high cost of building and maintaining individual cells.The second part of the book discusses the New York system, which was based on the idea of congregate labor. In this system, prisoners were housed in large dormitories and worked together during the day. The author criticizes this system for its lack of emphasis on moral reform and rehabilitation, but also notes its advantages, such as the lower cost of construction and maintenance.Throughout the book, the author provides detailed descriptions of the conditions in both systems, including the types of work done by prisoners, the quality of food and clothing provided, and the methods of punishment used for infractions. The author also includes his own opinions and recommendations for improving both systems.Overall, Letters On The Comparative Merits Of The Pennsylvania And New York Systems Of Penitentiary Discipline is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the early development of the American prison system and the debates surrounding different methods of punishment and rehabilitation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
