Miriam van Waters  

Definición

  • The innovative and controversial penologist Miriam Van Waters began her career in the juvenile court movement of the Progressive era, wrote highly popular books about juvenile delinquency in the 1920s, and served for 25 years as superintendent of the Massachusetts Reformatory for Women at Framingham (1932–1957). Van Waters repeatedly triumphed over conservative critiques of her progressive correctional model, which emphasized inmate self-government, recreation, and maternal ties between staff and the women she called “students.” Biographical Details Van Waters's reformist ideas originated in the social gospel message of her father, George Browne Van Waters, a progressive Episcopalian clergyman.
