Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This remarkable book inaugurates the era of modern prison reform with its insightful overview of the early 20th-century state of penal institutions, orphanages, and mental hospitals across Illinois. Fresh off the heels of America's Progressive Era, a new board of state commissioners set out to reform all charitable and health care institutions within its jurisdiction, which this book documents in detail. The author presents a reform-minded agenda for transforming each element of institutional life, including the use of physical space, the education of children and the mentally ill, the dietary standards, and even the adoption of mechanical dentistry. This book presents the new board's platform for rehabilitating inmates, medical patients, and children under their care, as well as their objective to expand psychological evaluations and services to these residents. By establishing a standard of health and well-being for the state's charitable institutions, this book was instrumental in defining the policies and standards for institutional care for decades to come. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
