In Jail with Charles Dickens

** "In Jail with Charles Dickens" by Alfred Trumble is a study that looks closely at Charles Dickens's strong interest in prisons, especially Newgate Prison, during the 1800s. The writer uses their own experiences and historical research to examine the rules, bad treatment,and everyday life inside prisons, which helped to influence Dickens's stories about crime and punishment in nineteenth century England. The book starts with the author describing their own introduction to Victorian era prisons, pointing out how important Newgate was in Dickens's writings and as a famous landmark in London. The author describes Newgate's dark look and the overall negativity it brought to the area. The book also thinks about the bad reputation of the prison and the historical events and people connected to it, preparing for a thorough investigation of the prison system that Dickens criticized in his books. **
