Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Live Questions: Including Our Penal Machinery And Its Victims is a book written by John Peter Altgeld in 1890. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that Altgeld gave on various social and political issues of the time. The book covers topics such as the penal system, the treatment of prisoners, and the death penalty. Altgeld was an advocate for prison reform and believed that the current system was inhumane and ineffective. He argued that the focus should be on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Altgeld also spoke out against the death penalty, citing its discriminatory nature and the possibility of wrongful convictions. The book provides a glimpse into the social and political climate of the late 19th century and the issues that were being debated at the time. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of social reform and criminal justice in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
