The Promise of Punishment: Prisons in Nineteenth-Century France (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780691614519)

Patricia O'Brien traces the creation and development of a modern prison system in nineteenth-century France. The study has three principal areas of concern: prisons and their populations; the organizing principles of the system, including occupational and educational programs for rehabilitation; and the extension of punishment outside the prison walls.
