About This Book

Presented at the fifty-first congress of the American Prison Association in 1921, this report details the treatment of persons awaiting court action and misdemeanant prisoners. It argues that these prisoners are the most likely to reform because they include those who are imprisoned for the first time, and it presents a particular way of treatment towards them in the prison system.

HASTINGS H. HART was director of the Department of Child-Helping of the Russell Sage Foundation.
