- W2486066587 abstract "The examination of America’s prisons became more than just a pretext for a wider study of American democracy. Though it served admirably as the ideal ‘passport’ which enabled Tocqueville and Beaumont to ‘penetrate everywhere’ into American society and learn ‘exactly what a vast republic’ consisted of, it was also carefully considered for other reasons.1 In the 1820s the public and the government acknowledged France’s penitentiary system was in need of urgent reform. A great many books and pamphlets were published on the subject. Some found inspiration in the works of various philosophes and proposed utopian schemes. Others looked to different countries for model examples; republics like Geneva and Lausanne attracted a great deal of interest, but the United States attracted most attention. The publication of the duc de la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt’s Des prisons de Philadelphie, vues par un Europeen in 1796 fostered considerable interest in American prisons and served as the foundation to important theoretical studies which examined developments in the United States. The legal scholar Edward Livingston drew on it in writing one of the most important legal documents of the nineteenth century: Rapport servant d’introduction au code de discipline des prisons de l’Etat de Louisiane (1828), and J.-M. Charles Lucas used it in crafting his landmark work Du systeme penitentiaire en Europe et aux Etats-Unis (1828)." @default.
