The Review, Vol. 1, No. 5, May 1911

"The Review, Vol. 1, No. 5, May 1911" by Various is a collection of articles from an early twentieth-century magazine, highlighting the need for improvements in prisons and the ways prisoners are treated. The writings offer a close look at the problems within the justice system, focusing on how society should act more humanely towards those in prison and their families. Examining different correctional facilities like the Chicago House of Correction, the book shares insights from people like Warden J. T. Gilmour, who discussed the challenges of running prisons and why it's important to understand the backgrounds of the prisoners. With discussions about youth reformatories and the troubles plaguing American jails, the magazine argues for a moral responsibility to help prisoners get back on their feet with better methods and kind treatment.
