In "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, hulks are decommissioned ships that were used as floating prisons for convicts. They are mentioned in the novel as places where criminals were housed before being transported to penal colonies. The hulks symbolize the harsh penal system and the societal attitudes towards crime and punishment during the Victorian era.

In "Oliver Twist," Charles Dickens presents crime and criminals as products of social injustice and poverty. The novel portrays criminals not merely as villains but as individuals shaped by their harsh environments, such as Fagin, who exploits vulnerable children, and Bill Sikes, who is a product of a brutal upbringing. Through characters like Oliver, Dickens highlights the innocence that can exist even in the midst of crime, suggesting that societal conditions often drive individuals to criminal behavior. Ultimately, Dickens critiques the systemic failures that contribute to crime, advocating for compassion and reform rather than punishment.
He believed in punishment, like all the Victorians, but he was strongly opposed to the strict, even cruel views on crime and punishment of his contemporaries. He was appalled by the simplicity with which people were sentenced to death or deportation for life for a current misdemeanor, like the theft of a handkerchief (an expensive commodity back then). He condemned (indirectly) the banishment for life under penalty of death, as he believed that people could change and could become an asset to their society. One type of prison he helped to close down was the debtors' prison.

The convict had a great iron on his leg in the novel "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. It signified his status as a prisoner and underscored the themes of crime and punishment prevalent in the story.
Prisons are captivating.....less crime that way.
