Military Training At The New York State Reformatory

By Vincent Myron Masten

"Military Training At The New York State Reformatory" explores the implementation of military-style discipline and training programs within the New York State Reformatory system. Authored by Vincent Myron Masten, this work provides a detailed examination of the methods used to rehabilitate young offenders during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The book delves into the rationale behind incorporating military drills, hierarchical structures, and regimented routines into the daily lives of inmates. It examines the effectiveness of these strategies in fostering discipline, obedience, and a sense of purpose among the incarcerated youth. This historical account offers valuable insights into the evolution of correctional practices and the ongoing debate about the role of punishment versus rehabilitation in the treatment of juvenile offenders.
