| Summary | "The Journal of Prison Discipline and Philanthropy, March 1912" is a historical account published by the Pennsylvania Prison Society, probably written in the early 20th century. This journal details efforts toward prison reform and philanthropic initiatives aimed at improving the conditions for incarcerated individuals in Pennsylvania. The content likely revolves around the experiences of the Pennsylvania Prison Society in advocating for better treatment of prisoners, systematic reforms, and various programs designed to promote rehabilitation. The opening of this journal discusses the formal structure and historical background of the Pennsylvania Prison Society, indicating its establishment in 1787. It outlines the role of official visitors to prisons and introduces various officials involved. Notably, the text also provides an overview of past conditions in prisons and reflects on reforms successfully advocated by the Society, such as the prohibition of intoxicants for inmates, segregation of prisoners by gender, and a strong emphasis on inmate employment and rehabilitation measures. These aspects highlight the Society's long-standing commitment to treating prisoners humanely while advocating for structural changes in the penal system.
