Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a report focused on the state and condition of debtors confined within English and Welsh prisons during the end of the 18th century. As the price of food rose sharply, so too did the author's concern for their welfare. Upon examination, the author discovered the poor living conditions, particularly in England's 26 prisons completely unaware of the establishment of the Insolvent Debtors Act. The author's report describes the hardships and suffering of these imprisoned debtors. In doing so, the author's goal was to raise awareness and provide compelling evidence of the need for prison reform and improved living conditions for those fallen on hard times.
