Definición

  • The origins of contemporary prison reform in the United States can be traced to an 18th-century English sheriff, John Howard. Howard, who was both a nonconformist and a social reformer, perhaps single-handedly changed the administration of English gaols and many of the habits of their inmates, rescuing prisoners from the conditions of neglect and filth in which they had long been held. [Source: Encyclopedia of Prisons & Correctional Facilities; Howard, John]
