What reading level is Observations On Penitentiary Discipline Addressed to William Roscoe of Liverpoo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is my sincere belief, that there is no prison in the United States, where corporal punishment is resorted to for enforcing discipline, that inflicts less of it than at the prison at Auburn. This is not susceptible of proof, from any documents in my possession, and must there- fore pass for what it is worth. But I draw the conclu- sion, from observing the natural consequence of a system of kindness and forbearance upon the generality of convicts, that it is destructive of all order and good g...ov- ernment ; which has been undeniably shown by the report of the Commissioners of 1826. They inform us, that during the agency of Mr. Goodell, at the Auburn prison, the system he pursued, was professedly a depart- ure from the strict discipline enforced before his time, and that it was one of moderation and forbearance. — Under this system of kindness and good feeling, which lasted only nine months, there were twenty-one cases of corporal punishment, and six different convicts made 73 murderous attacks upon the keepers ; and of the four- teen cases of abusive punishment, twelve of them were in his time.
