A Report from the Committee

17292445Folio 333 x 205 mm pp. 2 20 title-page in double ruled border E2 badly crumpled some light browning and a few pages a little dog-eared uncut and stab-sewn as issued: generally a good copy in original state.Issued as a parliamentary paper and ordered to be printed on 20th March 1729 this is one of three reports of the Committee set up to investigate the state of prisons. It was read and presented to the Commons by James Oglethorpe and was probably largely written by him. Oglethorpe was an important pioneer of prison reform whose name deserves to be remembered alongside that of his much better known successor John Howard.The report shows that the Warden of the Fleet Prison disregarding the changes in the statute regarding the Fleet had continued to exercise 'an unwarrantable and arbitrary power' not only by charging exorbitant fees but by loading prisoners with chains in a manner more cruel and unjustifiable than that practised in the Star-Chamber. Money was extracted from prisoners at every opportunity: any prisoners who could not afford to pay for bedding were obliged to sleep on the floor in foul conditions and the warden would not attend to the forms necessary to discharge a prisoner unless he received the fees he demanded with the result that numerous prisoners were kept several years after they should have been discharged. It was Oglethorpe's investigations into the state of prisons and his shocking findings that led him to study the social conditions of his day including unemployment and paved the way for his important Georgia Experiment a policy prohibiting the ownership of slaves in the Georgia Colony see Leslie F.
