| Abstract: | The author describes the present Rhodesian system of dealing with habitual criminals, which is to imprison them for a period and then release them on licence. Despite attempts at rehabilitation and training they become better adjusted to prison life than to normal life, so the number of recommittals is high. A much more successful system was operated by Alexander Maconochie on Norfolk Island, Australia, from 1839 to 1844. The author describes how this incentive system was designed and operated. Ref. |
