| Summary | "The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy" is a historical account published annually under the direction of the Pennsylvania Prison Society, written in the early 20th century. The journal reflects the efforts and philosophies surrounding prison reform and the humane treatment of prisoners, emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation over mere punishment. It documents the evolving societal attitudes toward incarceration and the associated need for reformative measures within the penal system. At the start of the journal, readers are introduced to the founding principles of the Pennsylvania Prison Society, which advocates for compassion and humane treatment of prisoners based on Christian ideals. The text outlines the societal obligations to address the suffering of incarcerated individuals, as well as reports on the various committees and their roles in prison oversight. It also highlights initiatives aimed at the reformation of prisoners, the emphasis on labor as a means to aid rehabilitation, and the statistical documentation of prison visits and services provided, underscoring a commitment to both moral support and practical assistance for those within the penal system.
