About the Book
Prison and Plantation: Crime, Justice, and Authority in Massachusetts and South Carolina, 1767-1878Book Synopsis
This broad, comparative study examines the social, economic, and legal contexts of crime and authority in two vastly different states over a one hundred year period. Massachusetts -- an urban, industrial, and heterogeneous northern state -- chose the penitentiary in its attempt to minimize the role of informal and extralegal authority while South Carolina -- a rural southern slave state -- systematically reduced its formal legal institutions, frequently relying on vigilantism.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
