Foremost in the general scheme is the proper correlation of the various
divisions, for administration, the admission, care, and education
of prisoners; the workshops and recreation courts. With all, the
idea of preserving the prisoner’s self-respect as far as possible
and impressing him with the idea that while he must receive deserved
punishment, every chance of rehabilitation is offered him.
A study of the plans will reveal the fact that the center wing houses,
the administration offices, the receiving rooms for prisoners, the
social service offices, and all departments general to the institution,
such as visitors’ rooms, commissary rooms, main dining-room, kitchen,
main auditorium, chapel, hospital wards, educational rooms, and
library. Thus located, they are close to the administrative center and
make for easy supervision.
