Charles Spear was the younger brother of John Murray Spear. Charles studied for the Universalist ministry in Roxbury, Massachusetts. Later in life he began to criticize the death penalty. In 1830 he fought against the death penalty, the harsh treatment of prisoners, the conditions of jails, and struggled for a change from the prevailing philosophy of vindication to rehabilitation.Through Spear's efforts, prison conditions improved significantly, the death penalty was abolished in three states and imposed less often in others.Charles Spear died in April 13, 1863 and held funeral services in Washington D.C.".
