English Penal Servitude Act (1 ene 1853 año – 1 ene 1853 año)

Descripción:

The English Penal Servitude Act of 1853 applied to prisons in both England and Ireland. Though Maconochie had spearheaded this act to solidify, legalize, and make permanent the use of ticket of leave systems, the primary reason for this act’s success had more to do with the fact that free Australians were becoming ever more resistant to the use of Australia as the location for banished English prisoners. Though this act did not necessarily eliminate the use of banishment in England, it did provide incentive and suggestions for more extensive use of prisons. This law provided guidelines for the length of time that inmates should serve behind bars before being granted a ticket of leave and served as the basis for a general form of parole. The conditions mentioned in the English Penal Servitude Act of 1853 are also common to today’s use of parole in the United States, though, of course, there are now many more technical aspects involved.
