The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy (New Series, No. 47 and 48, January 1909)

"The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy," penned by the Pennsylvania Prison Society, is a record that shines a light on prison life and attempts to help prisoners in the early 1900s. Through annual reports and accounts of prison visits, the Society shares what inmates experience and what the organization is doing. It highlights the Society's goals to ease the difficulties of prison, offer religion, and assist those leaving prison. While showing the challenges prisoners encounter, the journal also emphasizes the Society's commitment to improving justice and offering community assistance.
