- W2327752308 abstract "IN 1831 Tocqueville hastened to America both because of political uneasiness resulting from the July Revolution and also because of his own compelling curiosity, but he ostensibly went to study prisons. Upon returning to France, he undertook Democracy in America only after he and Beaumont had written a book detailing prison reforms in the United States. Yet even though his first book grappled with the problems of prisons, and even though this problem was important to him for nearly two decades, this corner of Tocqueville's thought remains the consistently dark and ignored. Only two of his commentators cast more than an obligatory glance toward Tocqueville's concern with prisions, and even these two merely report Tocqueville's thought, displaying no inclination to analyze its significance.1 But this corner of Tocqueville's thought, modest and anachronistic as it seems, illuminates one of the central ideas in Tocqueville's vast, expansive political theory. Consider that the principal fear that colors Tocqueville's writings, from Democracy to the Old Regime and from his first letters to his last notes, is a fear that modern democracy harbors a tendency to a qualitatively and historically new type of despotism. The old words despotism and tyranny are very inappropriate, he maintains; one can uncover no historical prototype.2 Yet, while Tocqueville dismissed all historical prototypes, he quite possibly discovered another sort of prototype by observing the penitentiary system in the United States, a system he later advocated as an appropriate model for prison reform in France.3 It is probably no coincidence that in his first work, over the objection of a close friend, he insisted on labeling the prison the most complete despotism,4 and it is probably no coincidence" @default.
