The Fleet Prison is noteworthy for being one of the oldest of the
English prisons, and one mentioned frequently in literature. This
work explores the actual workings of the privately-owned debtors'
prison, examining its earliest history from medieval times; the
celebrated inquiry into the administration of the prison during the
1610s; the misuse of authority by the wardens in the 1680s onward;
the infamous Parliamentary inquiry in 1729, based on the
parliamentary reports, trial papers, etc; to the closing by
parliamentary legislation in 1842.
