Discussion
Who among the following is considered as a prison reformer ?
Answer: C
John Howard, option (C), is the prison reformer, an English sheriff whose book The State of the Prisons in England and Wales (1777) exposed the squalor of the jails and led to reforms. Thorsten Sellin is a criminologist known for culture conflict and for work on capital punishment, John Cohen is not a known prison reformer, and Peter P. Jegins is not known as one, so (A), (B) and (D) are wrong. Howard's work led to the Penitentiary Act of 1779 and his name is carried by the Howard League for Penal Reform in Britain.
