massachusetts reformatory  

Définition(s)

  • The history of the Massachusetts Reformatory at Concord provides an instructive case study of the changing perceptions and uses of imprisonment. Beginning as an Auburn-style penitentiary in 1878, it was converted in 1884 into the Massachusetts Reformatory for Men, which was patterned on the much more famous Elmira Reformatory in New York that opened in 1876.
