Abstract

The article deals with the attitude to penal reforms shown by the British conservative legal writers of the 18th century. The rise of crime and the lack of countermeasures to this social phenomenon led to substantial reforms of penitentiary system, lasting from the late 18th through the entire 19th century. The opponents of liberal reforms and the humanization of the criminal code, put forward initiatives to toughen criminal penalties, and to add painful and prolonged corporal punishment to the capital punishment with the supposed prevention effect. Gradually, adherents of retributive punishment begin to perceive long imprisonment as an equivalent substitute for the capital punishment, recognizing the totality of prolonged physical and mental suffering from deprivation of liberty as a necessary retribution for crime.
