The Fleet Westminster and Marshalsea prisons were notorious as debtors' prisons though they housed a variety of offenders. Famously Charles Dickens's father was sent to the Marshalsea Prison as a result of debt. The present report was made in the course of an assessment of the nation's bankruptcy laws. It includes such details as the number and type of prisoners and the allowances of food money and clothing allotted to them along with additional commentary. Pre-1836 Parliamentary papers are scarce today. They were not available to the public so they were produced in small numbers. unknown

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.
