How did the Elmira Reformatory move toward the implementation of a system of parole in the United States?
What will be an ideal response?
• A system of classification allowing inmates to earn privileges for their work and behavior was implemented, and the reformatory was organized so that inmates spent much of their day in education programs and learning trades. Once inmates demonstrated reformation, prison administrators had the authority to conditionally release them to be supervised by state agents in the community.
