博客來“The Gallows, the Prison, and the Poor-house†is a passionate plea for humanitarian reform. In this compelling work, George Washington Quinby examines the societal ills of the 19th century, focusing on the treatment of criminals and the impoverished. Arguing from a Christian perspective, Quinby advocates for a more compassionate and rehabilitative approach to penology, urging readers to reconsider the harsh realities of the gallows, the prison system, and the inadequate conditions of the poor-house.
This book serves as a powerful indictment of the social injustices prevalent in its time and calls for a fundamental shift in attitudes towards those marginalized by society. Quinby’s eloquent prose and fervent appeals to Christian values make this a significant contribution to the literature of social reform and a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of social justice.
