In the late 19th century, the Massachusetts Joint Special Committee on Contract Convict Labor investigated labor systems in prisons, focusing on their effects on inmates, free workers, and the overall economy. The author explored the advantages and drawbacks of contract systems, the feasibility of abolishing them, and highlighted the importance of rehabilitation over punishment. They proposed a classification system for convicts, introducing a greater variety of industries and abolishing subdivision of labor to provide inmates with marketable skills.
