Neuware - Joseph John Gurney was an early champion of prison reform, and his 1823 visit to prisons in Scotland and England with the famous Quaker activist Elizabeth Fry helped to inspire much of his subsequent work in this field. This book documents his observations and reflections on prison conditions and the need for a more humane approach to incarceration.
