"The English Prison System" by Sir Evelyn Ruggles-Brise is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a comprehensive examination of the evolution and structure of the prison system in England and Wales, detailing various reforms and practices implemented to improve the treatment of offenders over time. The book likely delves into the complexities of prison administration, the significance of rehabilitative methods, and the historical context surrounding penal legislation. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by discussing the purpose and meaning of "prison reform." He emphasizes that while the goal is to rehabilitate inmates, the system must also uphold deterrent and retributory principles. Ruggles-Brise argues against viewing prisoners as hopeless cases, articulating the need for a humane approach that respects their rights and potential for reform. He establishes the premise that the treatment of offenders is indicative of a nation's civilization, advocating for a balanced approach to punishment that includes the careful consideration of individual circumstances and the necessity of restoring prisoners to society as improved individuals.
