Focusing on the historical evolution of incarceration, this book argues that the modern prison's origins trace back to the late thirteenth century, contrary to the belief that it emerged from Enlightenment ideals. It offers a distinctive perspective on medieval prison life, exploring how early institutions shaped contemporary penal systems. Through this analysis, it reveals the complexities of punishment and reform in a time often overlooked in discussions about the history of prisons.
