"German and Austrian Prisons" by Arthur Griffiths is a historical account written in the late 19th century.

The author, a former Inspector of Prisons in Great Britain, offers insights into the treatment of prisoners and the evolution of penal practices over time, highlighting notable institutions and influential figures within the
prison system. The opening of the book introduces the subject of prison management in the German states, discussing significant prisons such as Bruchsal and Moabit along with their operational methods. It provides historical context by exploring the treatment of prisoners, the varying approaches to penal isolation, and the contrasting ideas about reform and punishment among different authorities.
