Title: The Prison Chaplaincy, and Its Experiences
Author: Quinby, Rev. Hosea
Seller: ZH BOOKS (United States)
Description: Concord, NH: Published by D. L. Guernsey, 1873. Hardcover. First edition; 7 3/4 x 5 1/2; pp. [11], 8-198, [2]; embossed, brown cloth over boards; gilt title to spine; a few faded spots to front boards; rubbing to tips of spine with small loss of cloth; rubbed spots to corners; overall in very good- condition.Reverend Hosea Quinby (1804 - 1878) was a Baptist Minister, great proponent of prison reform, and Chaplain of the New Hampshire State Prison from 1869 until 1871. In his work, written as a two-parts memoir, Quinby wrote about many of the aspects of prison life that touched him deeply, including prison management, the appearance of the prisoners, the effects of the general and religious education, death row inmates, and many others. He often voiced his displeasure with the practices and laws of the penal system, in his writing and at various public events, including the National Prison Reform Congress in Cincinnati in 1870. His counsels were not received particularly well and in 1871, after a change in administration, he was dismissed from his job at the prison.
