❖ As Home Secretary, Robert Peel persuaded Parliament to pass the 1823 Gaols Act.
❖ Prisoners needed healthy conditions, with proper food, a fresh water supply and adequate drainage. They should be separated into groups so hardened criminals were not mixing with first-time offenders.
❖ Gaolers (those in charge of the jail) should be paid so they would not need to make money from prisoners. Magistrates had a duty to visit prisons and check on them.
❖ Male and female prisoners were to be separated. Female prisoners would be watched over by female warders.
❖ Prisoners were not to be held in chains or irons. In addition, they should attend chapel and receive religious instruction from the chaplains.
❖ Although the Act only applied to around 130 prisons and was ignored in some, it was an important step in improving conditions and aimed to reform the prisoners.
