Book Description
Excerpt from Detention Houses and Reformatories as Protective Social Agencies: In the Campaign of the United States Government Against Venereal Diseases The work Of the board was very seriously handicapped because Of certain inadvertences in the wording of the law which brought the board into existence. Nevertheless a great deal was accomplished through the application of these several funds. A tremendous cam paign along the lines of information relating to the individual, group, and intergroup hygiene of venereal diseases was carried on by the division Of venereal diseases of the United States Public Health Service and by the commissions on training camp activities. Practically all of the States in the United States have passed laws or adopted regulations for the control Of these diseases in accordance with the recommendations of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board. All of the States have availed themselves of the appropriation set aside for the use of their boards of health for the prevention, treatment, and control Of venereal diseases. The appropriation for assisting States in caring for infected civilian persons, in order to protect soldiers and sailors from venereal diseases, was spent in 11919 largely through the law enforcement division Of the commissions on training camp activities The commissions on training camp activities was greatly reduced in personnel, and the law enforcement division became, as a result, the field service of the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board. This field service accomplished a tremendously important piece Of work. Among other things, the activities of the field service were evidenced in the care taken of over delinquent women and girls. These had been detained because of their operations in the neighborhoods of the military centers. As their cases warranted, they were either sent to their homes, placed on parole, or committed to institutions for care and treatment.

Book Description
The Punitive Turn explores the historical, political, economic, and sociocultural roots of mass incarceration, as well as its collateral costs and consequences. Giving significant attention to the exacting toll that incarceration takes on inmates, their families, their communities, and society at large, the volume’s contributors investigate the causes of the unbridled expansion of incarceration in the United States. Experts from multiple scholarly disciplines offer fresh research on race and inequality in the criminal justice system and the effects of mass incarceration on minority groups' economic situation and political inclusion. In addition, practitioners and activists from the Sentencing Project, the Virginia Organizing Project, and the Restorative Community Foundation, among others, discuss race and imprisonment from the perspective of those working directly in the field. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the essays included in the volume provide an unprecedented range of perspectives on the growth and racial dimensions of incarceration in the United States and generate critical questions not simply about the penal system but also about the inner workings, failings, and future of American democracy.
