JOSEPH F. SCOTT, SUPERINTENDENT MASSACHUSETTS REFORMATORY,
offered a resolution, the substance of which was: That this Prison Association endorse the “Indeterminate sentence law system, and recommend that the various States adopt it as part of their criminal jurisprudence.”
There was considerable discussion, and it was referred to a committee to report at the closing session.
The Committee on Place for holding the next Congress reported that they had selected Kansas City for September, 1901, and that Philadelphia had made a bold fight for it. It was voted by the Congress to accept the report of the committee, and made it unanimous.
A resolution was passed, as a matter of testimonial of past duties to Mr. Z. R. Brockway, who had resigned the charge of Elmira Reformatory, N. Y.
