Dr. Wines remarked, “I am not an anti-penologist, have no opinions to enforce. In the United States census there is opportunity to examine all the matter concerning prisoners. Each prison and reformatory was furnished with a complete case, to study fully before reply, and if the wardens also help give it, a more correct record can be made, and the Government take up all the matter, furnish the apparatus and the men to do the work.”
Mrs. Deborah C. Leeds suggested a vote of recommendation of the Congress, that a “woman’s prison or reformatory” be established in every State, passed.
