Offprint. Octavo (20.5cm.); bifolium. Fine. "The efforts for pressing reforms in the women's prisons of Paris, to which Garda Kappenburg has devoted all her time, have at last been crowned with success. A committee has been formed of which the Dean of The Faculty of Law, Monsieur Barthelemy, is Honorary President, and Mr. Donnedieu de Vabre, Professor of Criminology, actual President. A well known lawyer and a woman barrister are secretaries. The scheme of reform worked out at the instance of Garda Kappenburg and afterwards in the course of several personal interviews, submitted to the Minister for Justice, Pierre Laval, seems to have met with complete success." 1925 Annual Report of The American Friends Service Committee. Article first published in the World Outlook Section of The Friend, March, 1925. Gerda Kappenburg De Hass's dedication to prison reform, and the reduction of criminal behaviour through attacking root causes like poverty, and lack of social mobility, clearly knew no bounds and her unique determination achieved considerable results. Currently there is only a single institutional holding in a US institution (NYPL).
