JOHN GALSWORTHY'S JUSTICE

MIKE NELLIS*

The influence of John Galsworthy s play ‘Justice’ (1910) in securing reductions in the time convicts spent in separate confinement has been widely acknowledged, in a rather minor way, in a number of penal histories. This paper argues that for a short period Galsworthy was a significant voice in penal reform more generally and explores the context of debate in which, as a ‘man of letters’, he came to have an impact.
