  • Report of the Committee on Treatment of Persons Awaiting Court Action
    REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TREAT- MENT OF PERSONS AWAITING COURT AC- TION AND MISDEMEANANT PRISONERS IMPORTANCE OF THE SUBJECT This Committee holds the opinion that no subject to be con- sidered by this Congress is of more importance than the treat- ment of persons awaiting court action and misdemeanant pris- oners. In the first place they far outnumber all other persons who come under the consideration of the penologist. The census of 1910 shows that about 92 per cent of all sentenced prisoners were misdemeanant prisoners committed to county jails, workhouses, and houses of correction. This makes no account of prisoners awaiting trial. The United States Census Bureau did not deem it necessary to enumerate this important class of prisoners. In the second place, the two classes of prisoners considered by this Committee presumably include those who are most reformable, because it includes those who are imprisoned for the first time. -^ We believe that to its most earnest society ought expend J efforts in behalf of those who are not yet hardened in crime. / Everyone recognizes the difficulty of reclaiming those who have become fixed in criminal habits. The hope of reforming a be- C ginner, in the early stages of wrongdoing, is five times greater ) than the hope of reforming one who has become experienced in J crime. In 1833, nearly ninety years ago, DeToqueville published his book, The Penitentiary System in the United States. In com- menting on American jails he says (pages 153-154): "Prisons were observed, which included persons convicted of the worst crimes, and a remedy has been applied where the greatest evil appeared ; other prisons, where the same evil exists, but where it makes less fearful ravages, have been forgotten; yet to neglect the less vicious, in order to labor only for the reform of great and hardened criminals, is the same as if only the most infirm were 3 502648 attended to in a hospital; and, in order to take care of patients, perhaps incurable, those who might be easily restored to health were left without any attention.

  • Reclaiming Our Voice Levin G
    Women at NJ Women's Party headquarters in Newark doing both suffrage and war work. When the United States entered World War I, suffragists and anti-suffragists worked with the Red Cross in relief work, organized women to sew, knit, and prepare surgical dressings for the military, and, like the women in this photo, raise money in Liberty Loan drives. Suffragists believed their active loyalty and support would make woman suffrage inevitable. Reclaiming Our Voice | Carol Simon Levin | www.GardenStateLegacy.com GSL 47 March 2020 n March 31, 1776, Abigail Adams was minding farm, family, and Ofinances in Massachusetts when she wrote a letter to her husband John, a delegate at the Continental Congress in Philadelphia: I long to hear that you have declared independence—and by the way in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation . Abigail Adams (1744-1818) Two weeks later, on April 14, 1776, her husband replied that she was by Crina Magalio “so saucy” and he could not “but laugh” at her “extraordinary code of laws.” After commenting that freed northern slaves, apprentices, and the poor were demanding equal rights, he worried “Another tribe Abigail Adams and the other drawings of women's rights [women], more numerous and powerful than all the rest,” would also be activists are the work of some of the talented artists arguing for equality.

NOTES AND ABSTRACTS COURTs-LAWS Summary of the Activities of the New York State Legislation, Session of 1921-Re: Prisons, Prisoners, Courts, Etc.-During the 1921 session of the New York State Legislature the attention of the legislators was directed principally to the Governor's programme involving the re-organization and elimination of State Departments and Commissions. Little hope was entertained by those interested in the administration of prisons and court procedure for the enactment of progressive legislation. However, quite unexpectedly some definite progress resulted, the most striking example of which is the establishment of a separate institution for the care of feeble-minded male delinquents. It was con- tinually necessary to combat reactionary and severe legislation which was intro- duced to cope with the so-called crime wave. The following bills became law: Chapter 101 makes it a felony for a man to'abandon his wife while she is pregnant and in destitute circumstances.

Without her interest in the dance marathon phenomenon and her wonderful book and numerous articles, I would have been lost. It was her book Dance Marathons: Performing American Culture in the 1920’s and 1930’s, that caught me hook-line-and-sinker and kept me interested. If not for her passion to preserve the memory of these events that have otherwise fallen by the wayside of American history texts and dance texts, I never would have discovered my love for this timeless and truly American form of entertainment.
