Synopsis
Explores how prisons shape crime—and how reform ideas actually work in practice.

- How institutions like Elmira shaped debates about reform and accountability
- Arguments for and against ideas like moral hospitals and parole systems
- Practical insights from historical prison administration and humane treatment
