The Prison Question is a book written by Charles Howell Reeve in 1890. The book provides a theoretical and philosophical review of some matters relating to crime, punishment, prisons, and reformation of convicts.

The book also examines the conditions of prisons and the treatment of prisoners, including issues of overcrowding, violence, and abuse. Reeve argues that the prison system needs to be reformed to better serve the needs of society and the needs of prisoners. He suggests that prisons should focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, and that prisoners should be given opportunities to learn new skills and education to help them reintegrate into society.
