Summary

Originally published in 1941 basically an account of a kind of voluntary Borstal Institution of which the author was head from 1936 to 1940, its interest on reissue in 1967 lay in the fact that it contained the germinal ideas of most of the day’s newest methods in penal treatment, not just as ideas, but in practice.
