John Howard (1726-1790) was a philanthropist and the first English prison reformer. 'His detailed proposals for improvements were designed to enhance the physical and mental health of the prisoners and the security and order of the prison. His recommendations pertaining to such matters as the prison location, plan and furnishings, the provision of adequate water supply, and prisoner's diet promoted hygiene and physical health.' In 1777, Howard's sister died, leaving him L15,000 and her house. He used this inheritance and the revenue from the sale of her house to further his work on prisons. By 1784, Howard calculated that he had travelled over 42,000 miles visiting prisons. His crusade and personal example greatly influenced reformers in the U.K. and the U.S. Evans 26543. PALIB 6
