THE ORGANIZATION OF PRISONS IN THE ROMANIAN PRINCIPALITIES (1831–1862)
THE ORGANIZATION OF PRISONS IN THE ROMANIAN PRINCIPALITIES (1831–1862)

Summary/Abstract: In the early nineteenth century in Western Europe, the civil and criminal law had known significant progress, distributing justice more equitably, and sentencing in compliance with the human condition. A new generation of Romanian young people trained in Western academic centers, inclusive in the law area, as well as some rulers with enlightened views militated for the application of those practical principles in the Romanian society, too. The Organic Regulations, which came into force in 1831, in the Romanian Country and in 1832, in Moldavia, dealing with the organization of various state institutions, provided some provisions also for prisons.
