Benevolent Repression: Social Control and the American Reformatory-Prison Movement
Alexander W. Pisciotta
Pisciotta draws upon previously unexamined sources from over six states to explode the myth that Elmira and similar institutions represented a significant advance in criminal reform. Seven inmate case histories suggest that the "March of Progress" was no more than a reversion to the ways of old.
