Through Prison Bars: The Lives and Labours of John Howard and Elizabeth Fry by William H. Render (22 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

A fascinating look -- first published in 1894 -- at two philanthropists known as the "Prisoner's Friends" and the early history of prison reform. Prisons in England were once dark, inhumane places lacking any regulations. The facilities were poorly managed and unsanitary, and prisoners were treated like animals. One man and one woman, the "Prisoner's Friends," sought to change that. Through Prison Bars is an in-depth account of John Howard and Elizabeth Fry and their work in the prison reform movement in Great Britain and Europe that began in the eighteenth century and continued into the nineteenth. Author William H. Render explores their childhoods and family lives, deeply spiritual backgrounds -- Howard was a Calvinist while Fry was a dedicated Quaker -- and early days in prison philanthropy, as well as what motivated them to get involved in the first place: Howard's early days as the high sheriff of Bedfordshire and Fry's visit to the women's prison at Newgate in London. ...

Hostel Hell: Homeless - a year spent with crazies, druggies, prostitutes, con men, gangsters and some really great people by Robert Leslie (230 Reviews)    Price verified 31 minutes ago

Hostel Hell, a real life story; my year of No Fixed Address spent with crooks, crazies, druggies, con men, prostitutes, streetwise survivors and a surprising number of really decent people. Previously a reasonably prosperous and successful business man, I was completely unprepared when an unwanted divorce led to the loss of my house and business, bringing on stress, depression, low self-esteem and, I'm ashamed to say, heavy drinking. But for all the feelings of frustration, inadequacy and hopelessness there were some compensations. I met a rich array of people, out-and-out crazies, druggies, smart crooks, devious prostitutes and heard some amazing stories. And to my great surprise a number of these individuals were kind, friendly and helpful. The experience changed my politics and view of the world. I wouldn't want to repeat it but am wiser for it. "Robert Leslie writes autobiografically about his time of homelessness, with much wit and humour, intelligence and a good dose of irony. ...
