Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Annual Congress of the National Prison Association of the United States: Held at Toronto, September 10-15, 1887 This volume, which contains the report of the Toronto Prison Congress in 1887, is issued from the press in the hitter part of the year 1889, two years after the adjournment of that memorable meeting. The reason for this delay has been the want of funds in the treasury of the National Prison Association, and the unwillingness of its officers to incur a debt. In the meantime the Boston volume has been given to the public. It was thought best to use the money collected at Boston, in 1888, to publish the volume for that year immediately, rather than to postpone its publication and inaugurate a habit of delay, which would materially impair the usefulness of the Congress. Since then, the liberality of our friends has furnished means for printing the Toronto proceedings, and also the proceedings of the Nashville Prison Congress, which will assemble in the capital of Tennessee, November 16, 1889. It is hoped that a similar disappointment will not again have to be borne by the Association. At this time, looking back to the pleasant days spent with our Canadian friends and fellow workers, it is easy to see that we derived a real and lasting inspiration from contact with them. At no previous meeting of the Association, perhaps, was the importance of the reformatory feature of prison work so clearly brought out and so vigorously pressed upon the attention of all who were present. And the influence of the discussions at Toronto may be traced in those of the following year, at Boston. No better evidence of the value of these meetings can be furnished, than the gradual change in the attitude of the officers of American prisons, as well as of the general public, toward measures which are based upon a belief in the possibility of the convict´s complete rehabilitation, and which have that as their avowed aim.
