520 _a"Millbank Penitentiary: An Experiment in Reformation" by Arthur Griffiths is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the development, management, and challenges faced by the Millbank Penitentiary, which was a significant institution in the British penal system. Through a detailed examination of the prison's design, governing authorities, reform efforts, and the lives of the inmates, the author provides insight into the evolution of criminal rehabilitation practices during that time. The opening of the work sets the stage by detailing the foundation of Millbank Penitentiary near the Thames and the motivations behind its establishment, including the influence of reformers such as John Howard and Jeremy Bentham. The introduction highlights the architectural features of the prison and the initial plans for its management, emphasizing the aspirations for reform and rehabilitation rather than mere punishment. It also outlines the roles of various officials and the expectations placed on them, as well as the early challenges faced, including management difficulties and issues of inmate behavior. This foundation creates a backdrop for a deeper exploration of the penitentiary's history, illustrating the complexities of governing a reformatory institution.
