Contract Archivist David Mittelstadt completed this arrangement and description project and wrote the following history. The complete inventory will be available at LASA and online on the Archives Society of Alberta website: www.archivesalberta.org.

It educates the public about the law, outside sources for funding. The Calgary Community Chest the courts, and incarceration. It works for law reform and and its successor, the United Way, have always been an better conditions in prison. And it addresses the underlying important source of funding, as have government grants and causes of crime in social problems, especially among youth. fees collected for parole supervision services. The Calgary John Howard Society papers held at the Legal Archives reflects the evolution of the organization and its Concern over the condition and the fate of those unlucky shifting priorities, to address changes in society and the enough to run afoul of the law has always been the main criminal justice system. concern of the society. From its inception as the Calgary District Council in 1949, the Calgary John Howard Society The Calgary John Howard Society draws its name from one aimed to help inmates and ex-inmates. The society immediately of the first, and most famous, of English-speaking prison hired a caseworker, the first full time employee, to counsel reformers. Born in 1726 to a well to do family, John Howard recently released offenders and help them return to society. became interested in prison reform after his own experiences One aspect of this was helping them find jobs, and this evolved as a prisoner of war and then as Sheriff of Bedfordshire. He into a number of different employment assistance programs, was outraged by the conditions that he found in English penal including a job training program. It also wasn’t long before the institutions. After extensive study, Howard wrote The State of society started helping those still incarcerated. As early as the Prisons in England and Wales. The abuses outlined in the book 1950s, the society offered counseling for inmates with alcohol woke the public to the situation and created demands for problems. Over subsequent decades, the society provided change. His work was the start of the slow but steady reform family visitation programs using volunteer drivers, pre-release of corrupt, inadequate prisons and the criminal justice system counseling, literacy training, and even anger-management for of his day. inmates in Alberta institutions. These programs have evolved over the years and remain a fundamental part of the organisation. In 1929, Canada’s first John Howard Society (JHS) was formed in Vancouver at the instigation of a prison warden. The When the JHS was organized in Alberta, parole in Canada was group wanted to help released convicts reintegrate into society, a relatively informal process governed by antiquated legislation. primarily by finding them jobs. It was a success, and soon The Salvation Army provided much of the supervision of John Howard societies popped up across the country. This parolees. It was natural for the JHS to move into this field, and original mission is still the foundation of the modern John in Alberta the society began supervising paroled inmates not Howard Society. While the societies have been vocal critics of long after forming. After the implementation of the National the corrections system and, like its namesake, have worked Parole Act and the creation of the National Parole Board, the towards further reforms for penal institutions and the criminal society became even more involved: by 1966, the JHSA justice system, the organization has been primarily concerned supervised seventy percent of the parolees in Alberta. The with the welfare of those incarcerated. emphasis of corrections officials in the 1970s on involving the community in reintegrating convicts enhanced the role of the The John Howard ethos came to Alberta in 1947 when the society, as did its own programs to help recently released or Deputy Attorney General, George Henwood, founded the John paroled inmates. Howard Society of Alberta (JHSA). Semi-autonomous District Councils were set up soon afterward, with Calgary’s formed This was reflected with the creation of halfway houses. The in 1949. After many years of sometimes contentious relations, CJHS’s first facility, Ramsay House, opened in 1978. It was 4 replaced by Bedford House in 1985. Later, as the society emphasized its role as a social service agency, there was some debate about the wisdom of acting as agents of the criminal justice system while also acting as advocates for the incarcerated. There was a perception of conflict of interest, and the society no longer provides parole supervision in Calgary. Bedford House became a treatment facility for individuals whose difficulties with the legal system were due to mental illness. The CJHS shifted its focus towards shelters for abused or homeless youth, lending support to several proposals and opening its own Raido House in 2001.

In the 1970s, the focus of the organization broadened in response to the tenor of the times. The Calgary John Howard Society added legal education to its mission.
