The Purgatory of Prisoners: Or An Intermediate Stage Between The Prison and The Public is a book written by Orby Shipley in 1857. The book explores the idea of an intermediate stage between prison and society, where prisoners can be rehabilitated and prepared for their eventual re-entry into society. The author argues that this intermediate stage, or purgatory, would provide a more humane and effective approach to criminal justice than the current system of incarceration. Shipley draws on historical examples of institutions such as workhouses and penitentiaries, as well as contemporary experiments in prison reform, to support his argument. He also discusses the role of religion and education in the rehabilitation of prisoners. The book is written in a persuasive style, with the author making a passionate case for the need for change in the criminal justice system. Overall, The Purgatory of Prisoners is an important historical text that sheds light on the early debates around prison reform and the treatment of prisoners. It remains relevant today as a reminder of the ongoing need to address issues of criminal justice and rehabilitation in our society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
