Abstract
This review delves into the historical evolution of English prisons in the 18th and 19th centuries, examining the unexpected shifts that transformed prisons into primary penalties. The review reveals how policymakers grappled with challenges, introducing the concept of 'hard labour' and the aim of 'prisoner reform.' It uncovers the fascinating origins of modern prison penalties and the imperative role of historical analysis in shaping effective and informed policy decisions.
