This book thoroughly analyzes an insightful investigation into the Tennessee Prison System at the start of the 20th century. The authors, a bipartisan committee appointed to investigate conditions in these facilities, present evidence and arguments for reform based on their deep and comprehensive inspections of multiple prisons' operations and their financial accounts. The research was done to uncover areas where money was being spent without profiting the system or the prisoners themselves and was based upon a profound review of the prison's records, which were brought into question. The Tennessee Prison System had undertaken various revenue-generating operations such as coal mining, farming, and labor contracts, and the authors provide significant insights into the effectiveness of these programs, often concluding that more profts could be made with some modifications or changes in management. With accessible language and thorough research, this book provides an in-depth look at Tennessee's prison system and the reforms proposed at the time.
