In the 1800s, England had numerous debtor's prisons, with estimates suggesting there were around 300 such institutions at the peak of the system. These prisons were designed to detain individuals who could not pay their debts, often leading to dire conditions. The practice was gradually reformed, culminating in the Debtors Act of 1869, which abolished imprisonment for debt in most cases.
