Abstract
The reports on the provinces of León and Zamora which written in response to a request from the Chamber and Government Office of the Valladolid Royal Chancery criminal courts in 1817 have provided us with an understanding of the prison infrastructure in these two provinces. This infrastructure had emerged in response to the need, instigated by the Crown, to implement a programme of reorganization of the prison system. Although the majority of the reforms proposed referred to the architecture of the buildings, some of them were more socially oriented.Downloads
