Descripción

1798 PRISON Robert Turnbull Philadelphia Wilson Street Death Penalty & Slavery Robert J Turnbull s Visit to the Philadelphia Prison is a rare late, 18th-century review of the state of the prison in Philadelphia. This work not only describes the prison itself but also the treatment of prisoners. Turnbull notes that prisons found in the Walnut Street Prison were segregated by severity of crime and even finds ways to convey his own views of prisoner-treatment including his opposition to the death penalty and slavery. This 1798 Dublin edition is considerably rare and desirable.
