Book Overview

Prison Labor: In What Kinds Of Work Should Prisoners Be Employed, And What Inducement Should Be Offered Them For Steady Industry? is a book written by Frederic Hill in 1872. The book explores the topic of prison labor and discusses the types of work that prisoners should be employed in, as well as the incentives that should be offered to encourage steady industry. Hill argues that prison labor should be used to benefit society, rather than simply punishing prisoners. He suggests that prisoners should be employed in useful trades and industries, such as agriculture and manufacturing, and that they should be offered incentives such as reduced sentences or improved living conditions for good behavior and hard work. The book provides a historical perspective on the use of prison labor and offers insights into the debates surrounding the topic during the 19th century. Overall, Prison Labor is a thought-provoking read that raises important questions about the role of prisons in society and the potential benefits of utilizing prison labor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
