Description
|
|
|
|
Featuring stories of crime and misdeeds, this is an illustrated tour of the Victorian prison system and the daily experiences of those on both sides of the bars, including food, divine service, exercise, and medical provision. It describes the punishments inflicted on convicts—hard labor, flogging, the treadwheel, and the shot drill—and provides an overview of execution as well.
