Summary

"The Review, Vol. 1, No. 10, October, 1911" by Various is an early 20th-century monthly magazine by the National Prisoners’ Aid Association that explores criminal justice issues. Inside, there are discussions about changing prisons, how prisoners are treated, and social problems. It probably talks about what prisoners are like mentally, what reform schools do, how parole works, and how to run prisons better. The issue brings up real problems in prisons and the idea that some inmates aren't mentally sound. It also looks at problems like mental and moral issues in reformatories, suggesting these inmates need to be separated and taken care of properly. Using stories and numbers from prison leaders, it pushes for changes in how prisoners are handled, saying we need better-trained staff, updated facilities, and attention to prisoners' mental well-being. Its main point is that the prison system needs to be kinder and focus on helping prisoners become better people instead of just punishing them.
