Nineteenth-century convicts regularly used their right to petition the state. Their institutionalised lives were spent under repressive and harsh penal systems, designed to inhibit communication, but petitioning provided a channel of expression that must have been sorely absent from the monotony of their life in prison. Convicts commonly used petitions to complain about perceived injustices in their sentencing or to request early release on probation, leaving written records of the different experiences, motivations and objectives of petitioners. These written voices therefore provide the basis for a unique window into convict lives in the 19th century.

写作时间:19 世纪的定罪请愿书

19 世纪的罪犯经常利用他们的权利向国家请愿。他们在制度化的生活中度过了旨在抑制交流的压制性和严厉的刑罚制度,但上访提供了一种表达渠道,而这种表达方式肯定是他们在监狱中单调乏味的生活所缺乏的。罪犯通常使用请愿书来抱怨在他们的量刑中被认为不公正或要求缓刑期提前释放,并留下关于请愿人不同经历、动机和目标的书面记录。因此,这些书面声音为了解 19 世纪囚犯生活的独特窗口奠定了基础。
