About this deal

Sixth Report of the Committee of the Society for the Improvement of Prison Discipline and for the Reformation of Juvenile Offenders (London, 1824), Appendix, p. It was known as County Bridewell, or the second House of Correction, built for the County of Kesteven, and which was in use from 1809 until 1878.

Nicci French is the pseudonym for the writing partnership of journalists Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. Due to the location and structure of many of our buildings, signal strength may differ to those indicated.

By passing it on to Landmark, they both gave it a secure future and also ensured that it would be appreciated by all those people who now stay in it. Lists of bills, salaries and demands, reports of Visiting Justices of Houses of Correction at Westminster, Clerkenwell and Cold Bath Fields. My partner, a law graduate, read a chunk of the court section over my shoulder and asked me not to lend her the book. The following year the new building, on St George's Fields, opened, with separate wards for men, women, and children. In broad terms, a house of correction does not refer to a holding cell, as were the cells in the town hall.

The first half of the novel deals with Tabitha's time in remand and her attempts to put together what happened that day. Determined to prove her innocence, Tabitha decides to defend herself by dismissing her lawyer and investigating this case on her own.In 1720 an act allowed the use of houses of corrections for purely custodial detention of "vagrants, and other criminals, offenders, and persons charged with small offences". If it's a movie I would never go to see it, if it's a television program I would switch over, I hate seeing anything to do with prison or prisoners. She has the feeling that she is missing something, something important that dances around the periphery of her mind but that she can't quite grasp. The entrance to the cells was through the dining room and the entire prison was surrounded by a high wall. Tabitha Hardy is accused of murdering her neighbour Stuart Rees within a week of moving back to her small, remote hometown of Okeham, England.

From the isolation of the correctional facility, Tabitha dissects every piece of evidence, every testimony she can get her hands on, matching them against her own recollections. An inspection report from July 1850 stated that only one inmate was held at that time, and the total for the year was 28 inmates, 45 less than the previous 12 months [7].

It is unique and deliberately written and holy crap when the book moves into the courtroom scenes it really gets going. However, as the story progresses readers will start to like her as they understand her and some of the factors that may have shaped her.
