Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Investigating the operation of Carmarthen Gaol in the period 1840-1877, this book provides an account of the relationship between a local gaol, its staff and its prisoners, and the community in which it was situated. Crime came to be presented as a national, and not a local problem. It discusses issues of state and penal development.
