    Poor Law Amendment Act 1834: Was the Harshness Real Or Exaggerated?

    Source 16, clearly in support of the view, states some of the privileges, though few, that the inmates have such as the provision of a teacher and health professionals; children sent to workhouse schools. “Their flexible application of the workhouse test” is evident in the fact that they allow overnight inmates and those inmates have their clothes cleaned and disinfected. In contrast, source 17 points out, quite clearly, the absolute horrendousness of the workhouses. Also in contrast to the positive argument of children getting education in the workhouse, they were also often sent away, sometimes without the knowledge or permission of their parents apprenticed (often to the cotton mills) where they would have to do work too vigorous for a child.…

    New York Burning Book Report

    I can’t fathom how destitute and depressed the slaves were. Can you imagine what the slaves must have heard at night while locked in the basement? Or how they must have felt when their fellow conspirators, who may have played a more minor role in the revolt, were sentenced and then burned or roasted alive? I have been doing some reading in the Minutes of the Common Council of the City of New York, 1675-1776 that you had been telling me about.. I read about how City Hall had only recently been “updated” with better security. What a joke that is! They didn’t have security in that jail. I read an account about the new measures which consisted of wood studs and plaster. The plaster could not stop whispers from echoing the rooms. Either their plaster was much stronger than that of modern society or these new “cells” were not secure at all. Or maybe this shows the swiftness that the courts had in those times. Maybe the walls did not need to be better because the people locked inside would not be in them long enough to bust through. I read through several court proceeding notes and the majority of those accused were sentenced within a week. There was even an account of a young slave boy who was arrested and charged with being a runaway slave. The unique story of this boy was that he was arrested in the morning, charged in the afternoon, then publicly whipped…

    Andersonville Prisons

    The prison camps of the American Civil War were terrible due to the falling apart of prisoner exchange programs, the decline of paroles available for officers, and poor war strategies by both sides. Camps were scattered across the country in both the North and the South. The best known of the Union camps were; Fortress Monroe, Virginia; Ohio State Penitentiary, Ohio and point Lookout, Maryland. The better known of the Confederate camps were; Danville, Virginia; Libby Prison, Richmond, Virginia and Andersonville, Georgia. Conditions where many inmates died would send chills down the spine of anyone in this day and age. The camps ended up so crowded there wasn't enough space to shelter every inmate, some died of exposure to the elements, and…

    Eastern State Penitentiary Research Paper

    Suspected or guilty criminals awaited their death sentence or command to become a slave in underground facilities labeled dungeons. The Ancient Romans adopted even harsher methods of incarceration by building prisons exclusively underground with tight walkways and cells in pitch darkness. (Prison History. n.d.). Time gave way to incarceration reform and the world’s first true prison, the Eastern State Penitentiary, was opened in 1829. Abandoning corporal punishment and harsh treatment of the inmates, the Eastern State Penitentiary was designed with complete and solitary confinement in mind to help the criminal move to reflection and change their criminal…

    The Code Of Hammurabi: A Very Brief History Of Punishment

    The colonists did however use jails, copying the English system of gallows, in order to hold defendants who were awaiting trial or for those already convicted and were awaiting their corporal or capital punishment. These jails had deplorable conditions. Poor men, women, and children were all housed together, with very little food or sanitary conditions. Offenders who could afford it paid a fee in order to avoid jail; this early bail system enabled the rich to pay a fee in order to be released. The conditions in both the English and colonial jails during the 1600s and 1700s were so deplorable that few doubted the need for reform (Richard P. Seiter,…

    Slavery Vs. Post-Civil War

    African Americans enjoyed little personal freedom or security once the civil war ended due the criminalization of African American life and the violence committed against African Americans as a reminder of their inferior status. Law enforcement arrested African American men, women, and children on frivolous charges and sold them into slavery to work for the new industrial industries of the South. Also, those arrested worked on chain gains. Once held in captivity, it was near impossible for the prisoners to escape or even survive some of the ill-treatment and abuse received by prisoners from the overseers. Moreover, There is the perception that pre-Civil War slavery was better than post-Civil War slavery. During pre-Civil War slavery, masters had invested in the slaves and would not punish their slaves as severely, whereas with post-Civil War slavery, there was no issue to arrest an unsuspecting African American to replace a dead prisoner.…
