Summary

If the name of Edouard Ducpétiaux (1804–1868) still rings a bell for some people today, it is without any doubt for his role as a reformer of the Belgian prison system, having influenced reflection on this theme all over Europe. But although there is surely a link between the law and the existence of prisons, his role was more what we today would call that of political activist, journalist, and senior civil servant, rather than that of a jurist in the more classical sense of the word.
