• The Prison In The Eighteenth Century.
• The main use of Lancaster Castle throughout the ages, and especially after it had ceased to be of any military value, was as a prison. In the 1770's, reformers in Britain began to turn their attention to the prisons, which led to a number of reforms in the prison system. Lancaster prison was one of many to undergo great changes during this period. ...
• County gaols such as Lancaster were originally intended to simply provide short time accommodation for those awaiting trial at the assizes, or for those awaiting punishment, either by hanging, or transfer to another prison or to the colonies. However, by the seventeenth century, many in the goals were debtors, who were incarcerated until their debts were cleared, and also by those who had received long prison sentences but could not be moved to a more suitable location. ...
• In the 1790's a new Crown Court and the Shire Hall were built in the west of the castle, which meant that the prison had to house prisoners awaiting trial. ... In 1846, the decision was made to enlarge and adapt the prison to make it more suitable for female prisoners, with 41 new cells being built between 1848 and 1852. ... This was the last major building work done on the prison before the prison was taken over by the Home Office in 1877. ...

The use of the whip as a way of punishing an inmate became less frequent and by the 1840's the worse a prison officer could do was to lock up an inmate for three days in a cold, dark cell with no bed. ...
• The new sleeping cells were described as "airy and well ventilated" and on several occasions, Lancaster was commended as a model prison. Samuel Bamford, a political radical arrested after the Peterloo Massacre and kept at Lancaster, praised the conditions of Lancaster prison as opposed to the conditions of other prisons where he had previously been. Elizabeth Fry on one of her visits to the castle prison, also commented on the condition of the prison, and praised the efforts made to reform the prison. ...
• Idleness in the prison was discouraged by a work program which was implemented in the castle in 1800. Prison work was seen as being a way for the prisoners to pay for their food whilst there, and also as a way to provide the prisoners with a small amount of capital with which to leave prison with. ...

• With the prison estate near to bursting point after the population has risen by an average of 190 each week the Home Office is scrambling around to find additional prison cells.

• The action plan sets out a vital strategy to reduce the number of women in prison by using community sentences and diverting offenders into mental health and drug treatment.

• The manuscript's prose, which dramatizes the true insanity of the prison experience in trademark Himes over-the-top grotesque absurdism, was considerably toned down in Cast the First Stone. ... Again, these changes made the novel more accessible to 1952 readers, less revealing about prison, and much flatter for us, who can hear in the manuscript version how the madness of prison informs the frenzied riffs of the Harlem detective novels. ... But the very essence of Himes' vision of prison--and of the American society which has made prison such a central institution--is that things don't make sense. ...
