Excerpt from Reformatory Measures Connected With the Treatment of Criminals in India
With the greatest respect for that great and good man, the late Sir Henry Lawrence, K.C. B. I dedicate this compilation to his memory, in testimony of the deep interest which he ever manifested in all that concerned the treatment of criminals, and in grateful, remembrance of that brief but eventful period during which at Lucknow in 1857, I had the honor and the privilege of being his Aide-de-Camp.
My object is to insure that judicial sentences and prison discipline in India shall tend, not only to the punishment, but to the reformation, of criminals. I regret that, owing to the heavy work of a responsible post, it has been utterly impossible for me to bestow such time and care on this compilation as the subject assuredly merits. Of necessity I could only give attention to it now and then, and amidst constant interruptions; but I trust that its many imperfections will not injure he object I have at heart.
I have endeavoured to place on record, clearly yet briefly, the principles and practices of other countries in the various important measures connected with this subject; to show how India needs their application; and to offer such suggestions as seemed to me likely to facilitate their introduction.
Should any profits arise from this work they will be devoted either to the establishment of a thoroughly practical Juvenile Reformatory, which I yet trust to see flourishing in this province, to be called the "Henry Lawrence Reformatory"; or they will be devoted to the "Henry Lawrence" Asylum for the children of soldiers at Murree.
