It indicates the commitment to rehabilitation that governed the prison since the progressive era. Lee, the prison's warden, was behind many of these reforms, which included education, apprenticeships and work in local forests for inmates, as well as a reduction in corporal punishment. This is a rare item. OCLC locates no copies with this pagination, but finds a 15-page pamphlet with the same title at the University of Wisconsin.
