Summer 2012 study abroad in London August 1, 2012 Dr. Bryan Miller recently returned from his Summer 2012 study abroad in London. He and his students learned about criminal justice and the history of crime and punishment in London. The class visited some of the historical execution sites of London including the Tower of London, West Smithfield, Wapping Execution Dock, Tyburn, and Horsemonger Lane Gaol. The students learned about Jeremy Bentham’s idea of the Panopticon and got to visit the site of Millbank Prison. The class met with Dr. Patricia Dark of the Southwark Historical Library and learned about the history of debtor’s prisons including the Clink, Marshalsea (where Charles Dickens’ father was imprisoned), and the King’s (Queen’s) Bench Prison. Students got to go to the City of London Police Museum and had the opportunity to meet with the mounted unit and their horses. The class observed Parliament in session and visited the Supreme Court, Royal Courts of Justice, Crown Court (Old Bailey), and Tower Bridge Magistrate Court. In addition, the classes learned about Jack the Ripper and traced his steps through the East End of London. Students should definitely think about doing a study abroad in the future.

Policing the Bridges Appendix 1.Pdf
Appendix One NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Policing the Bridges and allocation of costs to the Bridge House Estates OPINION Introduction 1. This Opinion considers the nature and extent of the City's obligations as to the policing of the City's bridges and the extent to which those costs may be attributed to the Bridge House Estates. It focuses on general policing responsibilities rather than any specific project, although the issue has recently received renewed attention as the result of a project to install river cameras at the bridges. Issues concerning the quantum of any contribution and a Trustee‟s general duty to act in the best interests of Trust are not dealt with in this Opinion. 2. In order to provide context and to inform interpretation, some historical constitutional background is included. This has however been confined to material which assists in deciding the extent of the obligations and sources of funding rather than providing a broader narrative. After a short account of the history of the „Watch‟, each bridge is considered in turn, concluding, in each case, with an assessment of the position under current legislation. Establishment of Watches and the Bridges 3. In what appears to be a remarkably coordinated national move, the Statute of Winchester 1285 (13 Edw. I), commanded that watch be kept in all cities and towns and that two Constables be chosen in every "Hundred" or "Franchise"; specific to the City, the Statuta Civitatis London, also passed in 1285, regularised watch arrangements so that the gates of London would be shut every night and that the City‟s twenty-four Wards, would each have six watchmen controlled by an Alderman.

Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London
Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London Christine Winter Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Royal Holloway, University of London, 2012 2 Declaration I, Christine Winter, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 3 Abstract In the history of crime and punishment the prisons of medieval London have generally been overlooked. This may have been because none of the prison records have survived for this period, yet there is enough information in civic and royal documents, and through archaeological evidence, to allow a reassessment of London’s prisons in the later middle ages. This thesis begins with an analysis of the purpose of imprisonment, which was not merely custodial and was undoubtedly punitive in the medieval period. Having established that incarceration was employed for a variety of purposes the physicality of prison buildings and the conditions in which prisoners were kept are considered. This research suggests that the periodic complaints that London’s medieval prisons, particularly Newgate, were ‘foul’ with ‘noxious air’ were the result of external, rather than internal, factors. Using both civic and royal sources the management of prisons and the abuses inflicted by some keepers have been analysed. This has revealed that there were very few differences in the way civic and royal prisons were administered; however, there were distinct advantages to being either the keeper or a prisoner of the Fleet prison. Because incarceration was not the only penalty available in the enforcement of law and order, this thesis also considers the offences that constituted a misdemeanour and the various punishments employed by the authorities.

Prisoners, Insanity, and the Pentonville Model Prison Experiment, 1842–52
“He Must Die or Go Mad in This Place”: Prisoners, Insanity, and the Pentonville Model Prison Experiment, 1842–52 Catherine Cox, Hilary Marland Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Volume 92, Number 1, Spring 2018, pp. 78-109 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/bhm.2018.0004 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/691233 [ Access provided at 28 Sep 2021 05:35 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. “He Must Die or Go Mad in This Place”: Prisoners, Insanity, and the Pentonville Model Prison Experiment, 1842–52 CATHERINE COX AND HILARY MARLAND SUMMARY: The relationship between prisons and mental illness has preoccupied prison administrators, physicians, and reformers from the establishment of the modern prison service in the nineteenth century to the current day. Here we take the case of Pentonville Model Prison, established in 1842 with the aim of reforming convicts through religious exhortation, rigorous discipline and train- ing, and the imposition of separate confinement in its most extreme form. Our article demonstrates how following the introduction of separate confinement, the prison chaplains rather than the medical officers took a lead role in managing the minds of convicts. However, instead of reforming and improving prisoners’ minds, Pentonville became associated with high rates of mental disorder, chal- lenging the institution’s regime and reputation. We explore the role of chaplains, doctors, and other prison officers in debating, disputing, and managing cases of mental breakdown and the dismantling of separate confinement in the face of mounting criticism.
