1834ref. 3806Providence 1834. Good plus. Broadside 15 x 10.5 inches printed in three columns within an ornamental border. Old folds short splits along some folds a few small chips moderate dust-soiling and foxing. Untrimmed. A rare broadside disseminating a report from a five-man committee of the General Assembly of Rhode Island recommending penal code reform and the establishment of a state prison in the Ocean State in 1834. The beginning of the report expounds upon the inconsistency of the various legal punishments meted out in county jails.

The committee hoped this prison reform would "relieve the State from the future support of convicts and may produce a moral reformation in those who may be subjected to its operation."

1972ref. 232591972. Prison and IncarcerationSocial activism Prison reform organizing conference broadside. Attica and San Quentin prison organizing stand at the center of this January 1972 Berkeley conference broadside which opens with a Brecht quote "Slave who is it that shall free you.all of us or none" and declares that "no one in America today is more a slave than the inmates in American prisons." The text ties prison struggle to "class and racial oppression" names the murders at Attica and San Quentin and frames the prison system as a site of beatings drugs "behavior modification" and brain surgery schemes. The conference was held just a few months after the 1971 Attica uprising during which prisoners revolted against inhumane treatment and racial discrimination in a violent struggle that left 39 dead. The conference roster grounds the prison rights moment Bay Area Black liberation featuring figures including Afeni Shakur Fay Stender and former Soledad Prison chief psychiatrist Frank Rundle. "Slave Who Is It Shall Free You . . . All of Us or None." The Struggle Inside. Prison Action Conference. Berkeley 1972. Single-sheet broadside 8.5 x 11 inches for a prison action conference scheduled for January 28-30 in Pauley Ballroom UC Berkeley printed on both sides. Recto features two halftone prison photographs and a dense typed manifesto arguing that prisoner demands had moved "from traditional demands for food and shelter to demands for civil and religious rights and finally to a general challenge to the prison system and the society which fosters it." It announces the conference as "a forum for self education and exploration of potential action to assist the prison movement" with key speakers Afeni Shakur a defendant in the Panther 21 trial Fay Stender a Berkeley attorney with years of prison movement experience and Frank Rundle former chief psychiatrist at Soledad Prison. Verso gives the full three-day program: Friday evening remarks by Stender and Shakur; Saturday sessions on "Medical Repression in Prisons" "Adult Authority and Indeterminate Sentencing" "Economics of Prisons" "Juvenile Reformatories and Detention" and "Prisoners Demands"; and Sunday sessions on "Women in Prison" "Defense of Political Prisoners" "Military Prisons" "Prison-Community Communications" "Prisoners Organizations" "County Jails and Pre-trial Detention" plus a closing "Panel Discussion on Racism." The broadside illustrates the actions and intentions of the Berkeley prison movement at a time when prison rebellion legal defense anti-racist analysis and ex-prisoner testimony were being brought before public audiences in the aftermath of the Attica Uprising. Afeni Shakur's appearance links the handbill to the political world of the Black Panther movement while the inclusion of sessions on women in prison political prisoners juvenile detention county jails and medical repression demonstrate the intersectional goals of the movement and the broadening of post-Attica activism from outrage over one massacre to a larger indictment of prison administration and criminal punishment.

Black cloth boards with gilt titling to spine chipping to spine edgewear pages toned inscribed "Ellwood Evans Esq. with kind regards Eli K. Price" on ffep verso very good.

Elwood Evans 1828-1898 born in Philadelphia became an early settler of Washington Territory following his appointment as first deputy collector of Puget Sound under Millard Fillmore. He served as mayor of Olympia and briefly as acting governor and is widely regarded as the region's first historian preserving key records of its territorial period.

Folio 30.5cm.; ribbon-bound engraved self-wrappers wax-sealed and accomplished in manuscript; 8ll. of photo-engraved plans printed on versos only followed by 3pp. text printed in double columns on rectos only. Previous mail folds extremities a bit chipped and toned ribbons slightly frayed else Very Good internally clean and sound. Signed by Acting Secretary of State D.L. Hawkins and Commissioner of Patents Burton J. Hall. Detailed patent application submitted by the Superintendent of the Chicago Bridewell Prison on September 13 1887. Charles E. Felton ca. 1832-1909 was the prison's longest serving overseer having held the position from its opening in 1872 until his retirement in 1890. Formerly a printer in Buffalo New York Felton entered the field of prison administration through the usual political platforms though he assumed his position in Chicago not through the usual channels but based on his previous experience serving as director of the Erie PA correctional facility. A Democrat and avid duck hunter with a rather unfocussed eye on the mayoralty of Chicago Felton was especially interested in enforcing labor in his prisons as a means of reducing costs and galvanizing individual reformation a position he clung to even past his retirement. The present patent submitted with steel manufacturer Herbert B. Streeter 1833-1919 offered substantial air circulation improvements for prisons "or other structures where the tiers of cells or dormitories have an open hall or corridor without separation by floors or otherwise." Previously the Chicago House of Corrections had just one small ventilating flue leaving the air "absolutely foul and poisonous." The plans depicted here show two foul air flues and one steam-coil heating device per cell as well as additional open air gratings for increased circulation. Though it is unclear whether the patent was ever approved Felton in an address delivered before the Prison Congress four years later complained that the increase in crime rates could be blamed in part on "the comfortable quarters" offered prospective convicted criminals. Also to blame "the present views of the public and acts of legislatures as to systems of prison labor and its ease to the prisoner.the quality of food; their the prisoners' easy access to visitation and the readiness with which a sympathetic public accepts as true the complaints of the prisoners" "Inter Ocean" newspaper October 14 1891.

ref. BK0166Boston: Charles C. Little and James Brown 1847. 203 pp. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. Near Fine. An important contemporary attack on the Pennsylvania system of prison discipline and its use of prolonged cellular separation published during a heated national and international debate over the treatment of prisoners. Gray had served as vice-president of the Boston Prison Discipline Society and for several years chaired the board of directors of the Massachusetts State Prison. The book appeared amid the bitter 1846-47 controversy within the Boston Prison Discipline Society after Charles Sumner challenged the organization's longstanding hostility toward the Pennsylvania system. Sumner's intervention drew attention in Europe and correspondence from Alexis de Tocqueville; Gray answered from the opposing side with the present work. A later account specifically identified Prison Discipline in America as the principal American response taking a stand against the Pennsylvania system.1 Gray's argument rests heavily on comparative evidence from American prisons including statistics from the Massachusetts State Prison at Charlestown and Eastern State Penitentiary at Philadelphia. He regarded the higher rates of insanity and mortality under constant separation as evidence against the system concluding that it tended to "enfeeble the body and the mind." His observations became an enduring part of the literature on solitary confinement and continue to be cited in modern medical and legal discussions of its psychological effects. A particularly nice copy in near fine condition in the original wraps. 1 "RIVAL SYSTEMS OF PRISON DISCIPLINE.
