Good against evil; right versus wrong; the judicial system against the criminal world. The struggle is as old as mankind. Sometimes the lines are blurred as the ‘good’ punish the ‘bad’ – the warriors against crime have resorted not only to killing wrong-doers, but additionally subjecting them to “starvation or the withholding of fluid, by drowning, stoning, impaling or by exposing the wretched victims to the stings of insects or snakes.” Newgate Prison was one of the most famous – or infamous – prisons in England from the middle ages until the nineteenth century. Griffiths, a prison administrator, takes us inside where we discover “man’s inhumanity to man”. Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 left off. – Summary by Lynne Thompson
