| 520 | _a"Oriental Prisons" by Arthur Griffiths is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the prison systems and criminal practices in various Asian regions, including India, the Andaman Islands, Burma, China, Japan, Egypt, and Turkey. It sheds light on the necessarily cruel and inhumane treatment of prisoners, societal views on crime, and the historical context surrounding criminal acts in these regions. The opening of the book focuses on the complex cultural and religious influences that have shaped crime and punishment in the East. Griffiths discusses the historical traditions around crime, particularly in India, including notorious criminal activities like Thuggery, which involved ritualistic murder for religious purposes. He emphasizes the passive acceptance of cruelty within societies, the devastating impacts of hereditary criminal classes, and the systematic abuse of power in legal and penal systems. This introduction sets the stage for a deeper examination of various prison systems and the evolution of justice across different cultures. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
