Description
1852 Prison Reform John Howard Europe & Britain Prisoner Torture Bastille Dixon



John Howard was an 18th-century English prison reformer. After wrongly being taken prisoner while traveling, he took interest in reforming prisoners and prison life. He wrote numerous detailed accounts of the state of prisons across Britain and Europe – noting living conditions, unsatisfactory provisions, mental health of prisoners, torture and executions, and reflections of prison personnel.



Hepworth Dixon’s biographical sketch of Howard is one of, if not the best history of John Howard’s career in prison reform. His book ‘The Prison-World of Europe’ gives attention to specific European prisons, such as the Bastille and Marshalsea.
