520 1 $a"In Detention Castles of Stone and Steel, James C. Garman conducts an in-depth study of the history of the first Rhode Island State Prison. Based on extensive archaeological excavations and a rich trove of historical documents, Garman gives a searching account of how a well-intentioned effort by Rhode Island to reform its prison population turned into a spectacular boondoggle. Indeed, the state's supposed prison of the future was only in operation for forty years: from 1838 to 1878." "Garman looks at the prison landscape, the changing labor regime, and the contested notion of discipline in the Rhode Island State Prison. Garman also seeks to answer why this project failed to accomplish its purpose of serving as a beacon of reform. Detention Castles of Stone and Steel uncovers a variety of reasons for the prison's failure to live up to its noble ideals. A large measure of the problem rested, according to Garman, with ambiguous intent, legislative indifference, and the drive to make the prison a source of profit, as well as a site for reform, for the state."--BOOK JACKET.
