The opening of the book introduces the subject of prison management in the German states, discussing significant prisons such as Bruchsal and Moabit along with their operational methods. It provides historical context by exploring the treatment of prisoners, the varying approaches to penal isolation, and the contrasting ideas about reform and punishment among different authorities.
