Summary: "The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy 1919 (New Series, No. 58)" is a historical account produced by the Pennsylvania Prison Society and issued annually, likely written in the early 20th century. This document provides insights into the workings, conditions, and legislation regarding prison systems and initiatives aimed at improving the lives of prisoners and reducing recidivism. The journal includes reports from various committees and details about the ongoing investigations into penal systems, reflecting societal attitudes toward incarceration during that time. At the start of the journal, it outlines the agenda for the 132nd Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Prison Society, which took place in January 1919. This section records the minutes of previous meetings, discusses committee reports and treasurer statements, and references communications from various prison officials. Notably, the opening discusses the need for reform in prison conditions and employment opportunities for inmates, emphasizing an earnest attempt to rehabilitate rather than merely punish. It highlights the challenges faced by the prison system, including the impact of the influenza epidemic on visitation and statistics detailing inmate interactions and assistance provided to discharged prisoners.
