An impressive mid-19th-century architectural rendering showing the proposed reformatory situated along the banks of the Merrimack River in Manchester New Hampshire. Authorized by the state legislature in 1855 construction began on the site the following year. The structure was designed by the prominent Boston architect Gridley J.F. Bryant 1816-1899 a pioneer in Victorian institutional architecture who designed numerous municipal buildings custom houses and prisons throughout New England and who would later renovate the New Hampshire State House in 1866. Bryant worked here alongside co-designer William R. Lincoln. Intended as a progressive state-of-the-art facility for the rehabilitation of juvenile and female offenders the House of Reformation officially opened in 1858. The grand building depicted here was short-lived however; it was severely damaged and largely destroyed by a catastrophic fire in 1865. The site was subsequently rebuilt and went on to become the long-running State Industrial School later the Youth Development Center.

A rather fascinating early work on conditions for prisoners in US carcerial institutions Fishman pioneered what was referred to as "Deprivation Theory" citing lack of access to heterosexual relationships as a major cause of unrest and friction amongst inmates he was an early suggestor of conjugal visits and a reduction in overcrowding: "Why is there such a wall of silence encircling the subject of Sex in Prison We are living in a frank and realistic age yet the subject of sex in prison - so provocative so vital so timely in view of the recent epidemic of prison riots - is shrouded in dread silence." Fishman's researches despite encompassing a number of theories that we know today definitively contribute to unrest and violence amongst prison populations weren't favourably received until the 1960's when a new generation of reformers took sections of his research and advanced them into a more modern understanding of what happens to incarcerated peoples and why the concept of "punishment" is essentially useless without a conceptual pathway towards rehabilitation and a time "after punishment."

Rare: North American copies: Harvard 4 copies Huntington Indiana Newberry Illinois. A royal pronouncement by King Charles II appointing members to serve on a commission first established by Queen Elizabeth in 1586 "for the Relief of Poor Distressed Prisoners" that is those debtors who "were truly and indeed poor distressed and miserable and wanted means to satisfie their creditors" as opposed to those "obstinate and wilful debtors" who had the means but not the will to pay their outstanding debts. The patent grants commissioners the authority to summon any imprisoned debtor and any party to whom a debt is owed to assess the merits of the case and to devise -in coordination with judges- a remedy that will satisfy the creditor and provide relief for "such poor and miserable persons as have not wherewithal to satisfie their Debts" who would otherwise "be constrained miserably to perish in Prison except in pity they shall be relieved." The Commission could do little to remedy the disfunction of the prison system or to alleviate the plight of those imprisoned for debt. Throughout the 17th c. the imprisoned vociferously protested the grim horrors of debtors' prison and the corrupt system that doomed them to rot in jail powerless and penniless. From the 1640s onward numerous petitions were introduced seeking debt relief and prison reform. It was not until the 1670s that these efforts would bear substantive fruit. In the meantime appealing to the Commission offered salvation to a relative few. "Throughout the petitions and appeals the gaolers are described as vipers leeches and caterpillars who "feed upon the miseries of honest men or grow rich out of others ruines"; they are also characterized as ravenous beasts of prey predators that "rore like Lyons devoure like Tygers ravine like Wolves and like Beares crush the Prisoner under their feet." "Whether they slowly consumed or quickly devoured their victims these "insatiable Monsters of Cruelty" threatened especially prisoners caught in the vicious cycle of financial misfortune that had led to their incarceration. "Because we are Poore" one of them poignantly protests we have no escape: "Poore I say and not able to fee Lawyers Atturneys Sollicitors and Gaolers; for if we had moneys to satiate these Horsleeches then though our causes were never so unjust and debts never so great we should no wayes doubt the gaining of our Liberties." This injustice another tract contends is not merely the timeless complaint of all prisoners: "here the poorest debtor hath the cruellest imprisonment; that is the rule of these men's mercie: The greatest cheater hath the greatest favor; that is their Justice." "Quite simply money drove the debtors to prison and money determined their fates in prison. Much of the complaint against the rapacity of the gaolers in fact stems from a fee system that required inmates to pay for their own incarceration. In addition to the various chamber rents levied by keepers all prisoners were expected to give sums to the turnkeys and porters for their services. Neither the fees nor the laws governing this practice were however clearly established; and prisoners complained at length and in detail "That in pursuance of their uncontrouled inhumane cruelties Gaolers and Prison-keepers have and dayly do inforce from Prisoners their goods and moneys illegal fees and excessive Chamber-rent."Anselment The Confinement: The Plight of the Imprisoned English Debtor in the Seventeenth Century The Commission for the Relief of Poor Distressed Prisoners in the Post-Elizabethan Period: By this patent Charles II's renews previous patents passed by "Our Grand-Father"James I and "Our Father"Charles I. Despite their intent the Commissions For Relief were an imperfect solution. They met resistance from debtors who feared that their implementation would make it harder to recoup monies owed to them. Further there was concern that unscrupulous borrowers would be emboldened to default on their debts. "Creditors needed protection against deliberate bankrupts and poor debtors required relief against persistent creditors yet aid to one party would have been prejudicial to the other. Upon Queen Elizabeth's death her patent authorizing a commission for the relief of poor imprisoned debtors expired and James did not renew it. "In the absence of a royal patent Parliament attempted to resolve the dilemma by statutes but its prison bills proved ineffectual. Also as Parliament's patent of 1618 "Acte for Recoverie of Small Debtes and releevinge of poor debtors in London" makes clear the expiration of the earlier patent somewhat discouraged political debtors but it left many bona fide debtors unrelieved until London's jails were filled with 'the Bodies of those persons whose imprisonment cann no waie avail their Creditors but rather is an hinderance to the Satisfaction of their Debts for that during the tyme of their Restrainte they are in no wise able to goe aboute or attende their lawfull Busynes but must of force consume themselves and that little they have miserably in prison.'"Shaw The Position of Thomas Dekker in Jacobean Prison Literature PMLA Jun. 1947 Vol. 62 No. 2 Jun. 1947 pp. 366-391.

1853[4]-XV-543 pages, 10 planches en lithographie Cartonnage moderne à la bradel, couvertures imprimées conservées 1853, 1853, in-4, [4]-XV-543 pages, 10 planches en lithographie, Cartonnage moderne à la bradel, couvertures imprimées conservées, Édition originale rare de cet ouvrage du docteur Almire Lepelletier (1790-1880), paru avant le célèbre Système pénitentiaire complet (1857). Il a été publié sous deux titres différents : sous celui-ci et sous Voyage en Bretagne, illustré de vues prises sur les lieux : avec (...) une histoire générale des bagnes et l'iconographie des principaux types de forçats étudiés à la chiourme de Brest. L'auteur offre ici, outre quelques considérations sur la Bretagne, un historique très complet sur l'histoire de bagnes, des réflexions sur le bagne idéal, ainsi que la description étonnante de 4 types de forçats, accompagnée de 4 portraits-types : La première catégorie "referme ces natures fortes, puissantes et riches, auxquelles une bonne direction seule a manqué pour effectuer des actions utiles, grandes, admirables" ; ce sont des hommes "à la physionomie martiale, au regard fier et dédaigneux", pour lesquels l'auteur éprouve des "regrets profonds, en voyant la nature humaine abandonnée" ; leur archétype est Pierre Cognard, le prétendu Pontis, comte de Sainte-Hélène. Le deuxième type correspond à des "natures souples, chatoyantes, suivant presque toujours, sans résistance et sans opposition, les impulsions qui leur sont imprimées vers le mal comme vers le bien". Ils rappellent "tantôt l'aspect de la fouine, du renard, tantôt celui du chat domestique" ; ce sont les incendiaires, les escrocs, les voleurs ; ce serait le type criminel d'Anthelme Collet. Le troisième type "nous offre ces natures profondément perverses qui semblent engendrées par l'enfer lui-même", commet des crimes "plutôt par goût (...) que par nécessité". Le quatrième type, enfin, "appartient aux natures grossières et stupides qui commettent le crime presque sans discernement et conscience, comme la hyène et le chacal se livrent à leurs instincts meurtriers par l'amour du sang et du carnage". Almire Lepelletier (1790-1880), membre de l'Académie de médecine, partageait, avec d'autres confrères du monde des sciences et des lettres du milieu du XIXe siècle, la foi scientiste qui consistait à distinguer des "types humains" dans une même société d'individus, théorie à laquelle il consacrera un Traité de physiognomonie en 1864. Dans le Système pénitentiaire complet, il donne en tout huit "types pénitentiaires". Réformateurs, néanmoins, il s'éleva contre les mutilations légales.
