Prison Discipline in America is a book written by Francis Calley Gray in 1848. The book provides a detailed account of the state of prisons in America during the mid-19th century. Gray examines the various methods of prison discipline that were employed in different parts of the country, including the use of solitary confinement, hard labor, and corporal punishment.The author argues that the harsh conditions and lack of proper rehabilitation programs in American prisons were counterproductive and only served to further criminal behavior. He advocates for a more humane approach to prison discipline, one that focuses on reforming inmates rather than punishing them.Gray also provides a historical perspective on the development of prison systems in America, tracing their origins back to the penitentiary movement of the late 18th century. He highlights the influence of Quaker reformers who believed in the power of solitary confinement to reform criminals and the subsequent adoption of this method by many states.Overall, Prison Discipline in America is an important historical document that sheds light on the state of the American prison system during a critical period in its development. The book offers valuable insights into the debates surrounding prison reform and the challenges faced by those seeking to create a more just and humane criminal justice system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
