Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the 12 years the author spent as Chaplain at the Sing Sing State Penitentiary. The author witnessed the devastating effects of the prison's brutal and inhumane discipline firsthand. Seeking to improve the prisoners' conditions, he implemented a system of mild discipline and focused on providing intellectual and religious instruction, including a prison library, the benefits of which were praised by the state's then-governor. The author emphasizes the importance of this reform, which he believes is crucial for the rehabilitation of prisoners and the prevention of crime, ideas that were not universally held at the time.
