State of the Prisons - 200 Years On

<p>In 1777 John Howard wrote <em>The State of the Prisons in England and Wales with Preliminary Observations and an Account of Some Foreign Prisons.</em> Two centuries later this extraordinary document commemorates his achievements in campaigning for reform.<br> In the spirit of Howard himself the Howard League for Penal Reform have compiled detailed observations of prisons from Sweden to South Africa and from India to Nicaragua. The result is a valuable resource which includes unique insights into previously undocumented prison regimes.</p>
