Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prison Association and Its Field: The Sixty-Eighth Annual Report of the Prison Association of New York, 1912 The above question, as to what the Prison Association is, is a sign of the times. Serious and complicated problems of public and private conduct are engaging the attention of Americans. During 1912, the events preceding and following the murder of Herman Rosenthal in New York City in July centered public attention upon the problems of crime and its treatment as seldom before. Subsequent investigations of graft and maladministration of office have led to a state of public concern perhaps not even equalled at the period of the Lexow investigations of police conduct.

Book excerpt: Original essays by corrections experts The United States has the lightest incarceration rate in the world and crime is one of the major driving forces of political discourse throughout the country. Information about penal institutions, imprisonment, and prisoners is important to everyone, from judges on the bench to citizens on the street. Now for the first time, a comprehensive reference work presents a full overview of incarceration in America. The Encyclopedia features original essays by leading U.S. corrections experts, who offer historical perspectives, insights into how and why the present prison system developed, where we are today, and where we are likely to be in the future. Every important aspect of American prisons is covered, from the handling of convicts with AIDS to juvenile delinquents behind bars, from boot camps to life without parole, from racial conflict to sexual exploitation. Features more than 160 signed articles More than 160 signed articles by recognized authorities are presented alphabetically by topic. The articles, ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 words, provide an overview of each subject and include a selective bibliography. The coverage introduces readers to individuals noted for their work with prisons (James Bennett, Dorothea Dix, Howard Gill); facilities renowned for setting precedents (Walnut Street Jail, Alcatraz, Marion); current policy, procedure, and program-oriented descriptions (contraband, boot camps, classification, technology); concise discussions of current prison issues (prisoners' rights, gangs, visits by the children of incarcerated women). Frequently the articles chart the historical evolution of a subject area, explore current issues, and predict future trends. Discusses vital issues The Encyclopedia also surveys and analyzes policies and procedures used in the past, such as chain gangs, building tenders, and Sacred Straight programs, as well as legislation that has shaped prison policy (such as the Ashurst-Summers Act and the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act).

Download or read book The Development of American Prisons and Prison Customs 1776 1845 with Special Reference to Early Institutions in the State of New York Classic Reprint written by Orlando Faulkland Lewis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of American Prisons and Prison Customs, 1776-1845 With Special Reference to Early Institutions in the State of New York Dr. Orlando F. Lewis, the author of this book, spent some five years in gathering material for it. He died before it was completed, and, therefore, was unable to make a final revision of the manu script, or to complete one or two of the chapters, which unfortu nately are left in an unfinished state. The book represents an earn est scholarly effort on the part of a man unusually well qualified to prepare such a history. For some twelve years before his untimely death, Dr. Lewis was the General Secretary of the Prison Association of New York. He brought to the discharge of his duties in that position exceptional qualifications, the product of unusual training. After graduation at Tufts College in 1895, he taught in that institution for about two years, earning the degree of Master of Arts. For three years afterwards, he pursued his studies abroad at the University of Munich and at the Sorbonne, in Paris, thus qualifying for the degree of Ph. D., which was conferred upon him by the University of Pennsylvania in 1900. For the next five years, he was Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Maine. In 1905, he accepted appointment with the Charity Organization Society in the City of New York, and in that position he was brought into direct contact with the varied problems of delinquency and offenders against the law and the manifold variety of organized eleemosynary and benevolent effort in the metropolitan region of New York. In that field, he acquired an experience which peculiarly fitted him for the service of the Prison Association, by which he was chosen General Secretary in 1910. His services in that capacity were characterized by rare address, great devotion, intelligent and sympathetic effort. Under his direction, the Asso ciation during that period fully maintained its traditions of helpful service to the cause for which it exists, and its present high position in that field in no small measure is due to Dr. Lewis' character and labors. The Association feels that this volume will constitute the best lasting memorial to Dr. Lewis' life and work. He was cut off in the prime of his life, and when his capacity for intelligent labor was very high. Some comprehension of his labors in the field of penology may be derived from a reading of the ensuing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
