| Summary | "Plans and Illustrations of Prisons and Reformatories" by Hastings H. Hart is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work examines the design and structural plans of various prisons and reformatories across the United States, emphasizing modern improvements in prison architecture and administration. It likely aims to foster new ideas in criminal rehabilitation and humane treatment of inmates by presenting updated and efficient designs. The opening of the book introduces the state of prison construction at the time, noting that many prisons and reformatories were underway or recently completed. Hart discusses several specific projects, such as the new Sing Sing prison, and outlines the importance of architectural innovation in creating humane environments for inmates. He emphasizes the necessity of incorporating clinical facilities, psychiatric studies, and modern sanitary practices into prison design, arguing that such advancements could significantly improve the treatment and rehabilitation of prisoners.
