Scenes from a Silent World: Or, Prisons and their Inmates - Cambridge Library Collection - British and Irish History, 19th Century
Felicia Skene
This 1889 work on prisons, capital punishment, and the need for reform, was based on experience of prison visiting. Skene makes a humane and non-judgmental case for the rehabilitation as well as punishment of prisoners, and against capital punishment. She actively helped prisoners and their families without distinction.
