THE IDEAL OF A TRUE PRISON SYSTEM FOR A STATE

3. REFORM SCHOOLS for juveniles, older and more advanced in wrong development. It is not my purpose to discuss in this paper the various systems and questions connected with juvenile reformatories, or to portray what I conceive to be the true type of such establishments; but only to say that they should constitute a part of the prison system of the state, and be under the general control (at least) of the board of guardians, for the power to transfer to and from these schools needs to be better regulated and more frequently used; and they should be carried on in connection, or at least in harmony, with the primary and compulsory school, as well as with the other establishments of the series.
