Summary

"The Review, Vol. 1, No. 11, November 1911" by Various is a collection of articles from the National Prisoners’ Aid Association, which explores the issues of crime prevention, how to deal with criminals, and efforts to fix the prison system. The publication shares arguments and discussions from the early 1900s, with some focused on the state of prisons and prisoners while others debated society's views on justice. One article stresses the importance of accurate crime statistics, highlighting that different laws and how they are enforced make it tough to compare crime rates between the states. Other sections tell stories about the Canadian parole process, improvements to prisons in Massachusetts, proposed prison design changes, and better ways to assist drunks. The tone is generally optimistic, with the authors seeking to improve the lives of prisoners and reduce crime through rehabilitation and supporting prisoners upon release.
