The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy (New Series, No. 50) November 1911

"The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy (New Series, No. 50)" by the Pennsylvania Prison Society, is a discussion calling for change in the early 1900s prison system. The publication describes the society's important members and roles, along with changes in laws about prison visitors. It shines a light on the bad conditions in state prisons and the urgent need for improvement, pointing out how little things have changed over the years. The president of the society highlights that even though other humanitarian efforts are improving, prisons are not improving at the same rate, appealing to readers to care about the people in prison and recognize their potential to change for the better.
