Prison Reform,
By
This review is from: The Thieves of Tyburn Square: Elizabeth Fry (Trailblazer Books #17) (Paperback)
This book is a simple biography of a late 19th century prison reformer, Elizabeth Fry. Elizabeth's work among female prison inmates is told via the experiences of a young girl who, along with her brother, lives through the trials of life in London in Victorian England when poor and uneducated. Elizabeth Fry is a Quaker, and shares her religion and Scriptures with the prison inmates, but the book (and Mrs Fry) refrain quite nicely from being "preachy" while doing so. The book is definitively Christian, unquestionably moralistic, and could lead to discussions with youthful readers regarding the purpose of prisons and how justice, punishments, and what is considered criminal behavior have changed over time.
