It is a commonly held assumption that all Victorian prisons were
grim, abhorrent places, loathed by their inmates. This is
undoubtedly an accurate description of many English prisons in the
nineteenth century However, because of the way in which prisons
were run, there were two distinct types: convict prisons and local
prisons. While convict prisons attempted to reform their inmates,
local prisons acted as a deterrent. This meant that standards of
accommodation and sanitation were lower than in convict prisons and
treatment, particularly in terms of the hard labour prisoners were
expected to undertake, was often more severe. Whichever type of
prison they were sent to, for many prisoners and convicts from the
poorest classes, prison life compared favourably with their own
miserable existence at home.
