Sommario/riassunto

This book traces criminal justice practice and reform developments in late nineteenth-century America through Robert McClaughry's career as a prison warden, a chief of police of Chicago, a reformatory superintendent, and one of the first federal prison wardens. McClaughry developed and led a reform movement that resonates today.
