Report On Penal Institutions, Probation, And Parole, Arthur Evans Wood

Michigan Law Review

This Report consists of three main parts. The first is called the Commission's Report, and is signed by that body. The second, called the Report of the Advisory Committee to the Commission, is the work of a group which includes many of the most distinguished penologists of the country. The two reports cover much the same ground, they are about the same length, and, with one or two important exceptions, the recommendations and conclusions are the same. The third part is a brief statement entitled Police Jails and Village Lockups, prepared and written by Dr. Hastings H. Hart.
