Excerpt from The Irish Convict System: More Especially Intermediate Prisons
The following Treatise, which gives the views of an enlightened foreigner on one of the great questions of the time, is a striking proof of the deep interest felt in Germany for an experiment of vast social importance, instituted a few years ago in connection with the repression of crime in Ireland, and prosecuted with extraordinary success. The author, the Baron von Hollzendorff, is a Publicist of European reputation, who, judging the subject from a distance, and beyond the influence of local feeling, prejudice, or prepossession, must be considered as most likely to form a correct estimate of its value. In this work he has pointed out the merits which he believes the Irish system to possess, and the success which has attended it up to the date of the latest report of the Directors to which he had access (January, 1858).
