Report of the Joint Special Committee on Contract Convict Labor, 1880 (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Understand the scope and impact of prison labor in the 19th century. This book presents a detailed inquiry into contract convict labor, its effects on state industries, and the balance between reform and profit. It also shares firsthand observations from visits to multiple prisons and reform schools, plus discussions from national conferences that shaped policy ideas.
The material frame includes the committee’s purpose, procedures, and the range of views on whether prison labor should be altered or replaced to protect free labor while promoting the reform of inmates. It moves from practical critiques of contracts to broader debates about training, supervision, and the role of industry in rehabilitation.

- Accounts of visits to prisons, reform schools, and international peers that influenced policy thinking.
- Concrete proposals for inmate education and shop-based training, including a plan for a multi-shop, low-cost facility.
Ideal for readers of labor history, public policy, and the evolution of prison reform, this edition offers a window into how lawmakers weighed punishment, economy, and rehabilitation in a formative era.
