Publisher's Synopsis
Prisons And Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences (1914) is a book written by Constance Lytton, which provides a detailed account of her personal experiences as a prisoner in various British prisons during the early 20th century. The book sheds light on the harsh conditions and treatment of prisoners during that time, particularly women prisoners who were subjected to brutal and inhumane treatment. Lytton's experiences as a suffragette and her involvement in the women's suffrage movement led to her imprisonment, where she was subjected to force-feeding, solitary confinement, and other forms of physical and mental torture. The book also discusses the various reforms that were needed to improve the conditions of prisoners and the flaws in the criminal justice system. Overall, Prisons And Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences is a powerful and insightful account of the author's experiences as a prisoner and her observations on the state of the prison system during that time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of women's suffrage and the criminal justice system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
