Synopsis

A historic prison inquiry lays bare how reform ideas shaped one Ontario facility.

This edition presents the Madden report on the Ontario Reformatory at Guelph, detailing a wide-ranging look at education, classification, parole, recreation, visiting rules, and equipment. It shows what officials recommended to improve inmate welfare, training, and control in the mid-1900s.

  • Learn how education was proposed to become the core of rehabilitation, with structured schooling and vocational training.
  • See recommendations on classifying inmates, using cell blocks, and matching work to individual abilities.
  • Understand how parole procedures were viewed and revised to reduce confusion and resentment among inmates.
  • Explore proposed changes to recreation, visiting rules, and dormitory facilities to promote safety and order.
Ideal for readers of historical criminal justice, reform movements, and mid-20th-century public policy.
