Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This text reports on the 131st Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Prison Society in 1918. The report details the activities of the Acting Committee and the state of the Society's finances. It also includes a frank assessment of the county prisons in Pennsylvania, with each prison receiving a letter grade for the quality of its management. Lower-graded prisons are criticized for failing to provide sufficient employment opportunities and adequate nutrition for prisoners, while prisons with higher grades are praised for their innovative employment of prisoners in farming and roadwork. The annual report also reviews the legislative reforms passed by the state assembly in 1917, including bills that improve conditions for discharged prisoners and allow selected prisoners to be released for work on county or state land. These reforms are seen by the author as a sign of progress toward a more just and rehabilitative prison system.
