Arriving in America in 1794 La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt toured the northern United States and Canada for several years before leaving for Hamburg in 1797 and returning to France in 1799." He also wrote "Travels through the United States of North America." This work focuses on the economic and social conditions of the United States and Canada. Lehigh University.<br> <br> "In the late 1700s on the heels of the American Revolution Philadelphia emerged as a national and international leader in prison reform and the transformation of criminal justice practices. More than any other community in early America Philadelphia invested heavily in the intellectual and physical reconstruction of penal philosophies and the region's jails and prisons reflected these evolving principles. Throughout the 1800s global and local observers looked to Philadelphia-particularly the Pennsylvania system of solitary confinement pioneered at Eastern State Penitentiary-as they modeled penal practices in their communities." Annie Anderson The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia. It is often argued that Walnut Street Prison in Philadelphia is the first prison in the United States.<br> <br> "One of Thomas Eddy's most noted philanthropic achievements was the reform of New York's penal laws. In the early 1790s he began a campaign to end branding whipping and solitary confinement in the state prisons. In 1796 he shepherded a bill through the state legislature that established new standards for the penitentiary system. He was appointed to oversee the construction of the first state prison and served from 1797 to 1801 as its first director."<br> <br> Evans 30674. Sabin 39054.<br> <br> HBS 69290.<br> <br> $2250.
