University of Florida Thesis Or Dissertation Formatting STRANGE BEDFELLOWS: CONVICT CULTURE IN THE FIRST ERA OF MASS IMPRISONMENT, 1919-1940 By ALEX TEPPERMAN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 Alex Tepperman To my wonderful wife, the best dogs in the world, and others ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would be remiss not to begin by thanking Dr. Jeffrey Adler, my advisor and academic mentor since 2011. Dr. Adler has given me more of his time and patience than I have had any right to expect and has been an outstanding intellectual steward for seven years. He was the first person I made contact with at the University of Florida when I inquired about transferring from the University of Rochester in 2009 and it has been my great pleasure to develop as a scholar under his tutelage. Dr. Joe Spillane has similarly been a powerful force in my development, serving at various times as my teacher, my advisor, and my career counselor. Success has many fathers and I would like to acknowledge other UF faculty members who have been critical to my success. Dr. Elizabeth Dale has been a continuously supportive presence in my time at Florida, not only serving as a valued committee member, but as a frequent and effective advocate for my best interests while Graduate Coordinator. Dr. Ben Wise was my much-needed square peg, pushing me toward considering fiction and poetry as constructive elements of academic work (I have often thought about J. Alfred Prufrock in the last two years, much to my benefit as a historian). Similarly, Dr. Jodi Lane's insights about the nature of academia, research, and job hunting have always been candid, hilarious, and constructive. In addition to my University of Florida community, I cannot emphasize enough the influence Rosemary Gartner and Ashley Rubin have had on my academic development. Rosemary took me on as a student at the University of Toronto's Centre for Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies at a time when I felt disillusioned by academia. I will never be able to repay her fully for helping me rediscover my intellectual curiosity. As for Ashley, I made the life-changing decision to reach out to her in 2013, when we 4 met for a ten minute conversation at the SSHA annual meeting. Space limitations and my natural disposition prevent me from explaining in any meaningful detail how critical that decision was, and how important Ashley has been to my development as a scholar in the years I have known her, but I could not have succeeded in the academy without her support. For that reason and others, she will always be a dear friend. Learning is not always a top-down experience, of course, and I have taken as much from my peers at the University of Florida Department of History as from any faculty member. I could not ask for a better community in which to learn, and I would like to give specific kudos to Mallory Szymanski, Chris Woolley, Rob Taber, Adrienne DeNoyelles, Andrew Welton, Kyle Bridge, Lexi Baldacci, Michael Gennaro and Alana Lord, Amanda Beyer-Purvis, Brenden Kennedy and Erin Zavitz, Brandon Jett, Johanna Mellis and Greg Mason, Elyssa Gage, Matt Simmons, Derek Boetcher, Matthew White, Jennifer Lyon, Nick Foreman, and the first two friends I made within the department, Chris Salamone and Matthew Delvaux. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the incredible experiences I have had knowing Hazel Phillips, Paul Ortiz, Katheryn Russell- Brown, Steve Noll, Sean Adams, and Michelle Campos, as well Michael Jarvis at the University of Rochester and Rick Halpern at the University of Toronto. Lastly, as always and above all else, my wife Elena deserves all of the love and admiration I could ever afford her and more. And double for the dogs. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................. 4 LIST OF TABLES

  • Volunteer Manual
    Gundalow Company Volunteer Manual Updated Jan 2018 Protecting the Piscataqua Region’s Maritime Heritage and Environment through Education and Action Table of Contents Welcome Organizational Overview General Orientation The Role of Volunteers Volunteer Expectations Operations on the Gundalow Workplace Safety Youth Programs Appendix Welcome aboard! On a rainy day in June, 1982, the replica gundalow CAPTAIN EDWARD H. ADAMS was launched into the Piscataqua River while several hundred people lined the banks to watch this historic event. It took an impressive community effort to build the 70' replica on the grounds of Strawbery Banke Museum, with a group of dedicated shipwrights and volunteers led by local legendary boat builder Bud McIntosh. This event celebrated the hundreds of cargo-carrying gundalows built in the Piscataqua Region starting in 1650. At the same time, it celebrated the 20th-century creation of a unique teaching platform that travelled to Piscataqua region riverfront towns carrying a message that raised awareness of this region's maritime heritage and the environmental threats to our rivers. For just over 25 years, the ADAMS was used as a dock-side attraction so people could learn about the role of gundalows in this region’s economic development as well as hundreds of years of human impact on the estuary. When the Gundalow Company inherited the ADAMS from Strawbery Banke Museum in 2002, the opportunity to build a new gundalow that could sail with students and the public became a priority, and for the next decade, we continued the programs ion the ADAMS while pursuing the vision to build a gundalow that could be more than a dock-side attraction.

  • The Walnut Street Jail 
    The Walnut Street Jail The Walnut Street Jail: A Penal Reform to Centralize The Powers of the State Paul Takagi There is something unkindly about the American prison. There is something corroding about it. It tends to harden all that comes within the fold of its shadow. It takes kindly, well-intentioned people and makes them callous (Tannenbaum, 933: 3). HESE ARE THE BEGINNING SENTENCES IN THE BIOGRAPHY OF THOMAS MOtt Osborne, who was appointed warden of Sing Sing prison on December 1, 94. Osborne was indicted twice, acquitted, once on an appeal, and sud- Tdenly resigned from his post less than two years after his appointment. He became the eighth person to leave the office of warden of Sing Sing within a span of 12 years. Osborne briefly headed the Portsmouth Naval Prison before terminating his career as a prison administrator in 1920. He spent the short remaining years of his life disillusioned and discontented. In 1922, he wrote: “It makes one rather unhappy to realize the years are passing, while I could be doing wonderful work in prisons if I were only permitted to do so....” By 1924, he was in deep despair: “I have seen (my) work, so patiently built up, destroyed; sometimes brutally in a day, sometimes by long undermining, until there is now but little left. And I am condemned to heart breaking idleness, realizing what I can do to benefit mankind, and not permitted to do it. It often surprises me that I have faith in any one; and I haven’t much....” (Ibid.: 287).

A log boom defense was placed in the river between the two forts. The fort was garrisoned by 180 men under the command of Captain Titus Salter from 1775-78. The garrison was also responsible for the security of the powder magazine in Portsmouth. The fort was designed by Captain Ezekiel Worthen, who also designed Fort Sullivan and the Clark's Point (Shaw’s Hill) Redoubt on New Castle Island, and who, with the rank of Major, later replaced General Sullivan as the overall commander of the Portsmouth harbor defenses. Peirce's Island was renamed "Isle of Washington" in 1776, in honor of General George Washington, who was then commander of the Army of New England in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the siege of Boston. The fort was repaired and regarrisoned in 1814-15 during the War of 1812 when British warships blockaded the New England coast. The fort was in ruins by 1850, and was probably not used at all during the Civil War.

NOTES AND ABSTRACTS ANTHROPOLOGY-PSYCHIATRY-PSYCHOLOGY Medical and Psychopathic Approach to the Delinquent Problem.-We need not at this particular time enter into a discussion of statistics showing the huge problem presented by crime. Nor do we feel called upon' to discuss the price paid by society for its neglect of the criminal, either in dollars and cents or in wasted and frequently vicious human lives. We are all familiar with the depressing facts, as to the enormous financial burden that is being carried by every state in its fight against this condition. We have all either ourselves presented, or listened to the presentation of startling evidence showing the vast expanse which criminality is to society, to say nothing of the continuing direct and indirect cost measured in terms of destruction to homes, morality, character, and unprotected childhood. We are all much concerned, however, with a critical study of methods that are now being introduced, which promise a different approach to the whole question.
