Currently, I am working on a concise history of the evolution of the
prison system from the 1830s to the 1900s. This will take quite some
time as the ideas and historical figures that I am researching have
rather scarce information on them, however, I will be periodically
publishing articles on the topic as well as doing more updates on the
Prison Project website. I know that I have not been giving as many
updates as I should have, yet that will change this upcoming month. I
will no longer let work or procrastination get in the way of my
research, thus the project will be moving a long at a much faster pace. I
am setting a goal to, by the end of July, be at researching prisons in
at least the 1950s if not the '60s or '70s.
On a personal
note, this project has forced me to evolve my research skills for the
better which will only benefit in the future as the project gets closer
and closer to present times, which will force me more and more to use
online sources rather than books.
The goal has been set, now all that's left is to get to work.
Wish me luck!
