when Debtors Were Imprisoned.


In nearly every country, until COM
paraliyely recent times, debtors have
been subject to imprisonment. After
the panic of 1926, one hundred and
one thousand writs for debt were is
sued in England. In 1880. seven
thousand persons were sent to Lon
don prisons for, debt, and on January
l, 1910, seventeen hundred persons
were held for debt in England and
Wales, one thousand in Ireland, and
less than one hundred in Scotland.
From time to time notifications in
the laws governing the imprisonment
Of debtors have been made. 80 that
fewer debtors are imprisoned for this
crime each year.
In 1929 there were three thousand
-debtora in prison in Massachusetts,,
ten thousand in New York, seven
thousand in Pennsylvania, three
thousand in Maryland, and lik
proportion in other States. Many Of
these persons were jailed for debts of
one dollar. The law providing for
the Imprisonment of men who could
not pay their debts was shown to be
impracticabls by statistics taken from
Philadelphia, where in 1928 there
were one thousand and eighty-fve
debtors imprisoned for debts amount
ing to twenty-five thousand dollars.
The expense Of keeping these persons
in confinement was three hundred and
sixty-two thousand, dollars. which was
paid by the city, and the amount re-
covered by this method was two
hundred and ninety-five dollars.
imprisonment for debt was abolish
ed by Congress in the United States
in 1888, though this measure Was not
fully enforced until 1889.
