"German and Austrian Prisons" by Arthur Griffiths is a study of 19th-century prisons in Germany and Austria-Hungary. Penned by a former British prison inspector, the book explores different prisons, their history, and how prisoners were treated. The author looks at places like Bruchsal and Moabit to show how they ran, how punishment was handed out, and how ideas about prison reform changed. Shifting public opinions and new ideas about imprisonment shaped the creation of these institutions, leading to significant changes in how they were run.
