There is no other comprehensive study of the convict prison system in England and Wales during this period. Helen Johnston, Barry Godfrey, and David Cox have played a leading role in linking government records with other primary sources to understand a system as a whole, and they put this approach to good use here. Penal Servitude makes a major contribution to the field and is sure to become the standard work on the subject. Neil Davie, Universite Lumiere, Lyon, and author of The Penitentiary Ten: The Transformation of the English Prison, 1770-1850
