Drawing on a wealth of primary sources including prison and chaplain reports, newspapers and correspondence between local reformers and national figures, Lewis Darwen and David Orr investigate the role of religion and morality, statistics, education, architecture, models of institutional regime and gender in the prison and workhouse reform taking place during the period. With case studies from Lancashire, the most industrialized region by 1850, they also highlight the impact of wider political and economic issues such as trade, industrialism, religion and populations pressure on institutional regimes.
Prison and Workhouse Reform in 19th-Century England provides much-needed new perspectives on the history of penal institutions in 19th-century England and will be a valuable resource for crime historians and criminologists alike.
Lewis Darwen is Research Associate on a Leverhulme-funded project exploring the Great Famine in Ireland and Britain at Roehampton University, UK. He has published on the Victorian workhouse and other aspects of 19th-century poverty and welfare. David Orr is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Central Lancashire, UK. He set up the online Hillsborough disaster archive for the Centre for Studies in Crime and Social Justice, and worked on the ESRC-funded Violence Project. His research focuses on the development of prisons and criminal justice in 19th-century England and Wales.
