"The Delinquent, Vol. IV, No. 8, August, 1914" by Various is a monthly periodical published by the National Prisoners’ Aid Association during the early 20th century. This issue includes a significant article that discusses prison reform, focusing specifically on the experiences of Hon. Thomas Mott Osborne during his voluntary incarceration at Auburn Prison. The overall theme revolves around the psychological and societal implications of imprisonment, highlighting the systemic issues and brutality faced by inmates. In this edition, Osborne shares his firsthand account of the conditions within Auburn Prison while he masqueraded as a convict named "Tom Brown." He describes the daily life of inmates, revealing the harsh realities they endure—the cramped living quarters, the oppressive atmosphere, and the psychological toll of incarceration. Notably, he illustrates specific incidents of brutality enacted by prison guards, emphasizing the dehumanization within the penal system. Through his experiences, Osborne advocates for practical reforms, including self-governance among inmates and improved treatment, suggesting that such measures can lead to a more humane and rehabilitative prison environment. The content and discussions in this volume point towards an emerging awareness and critique of the prison system, marking a key moment in the history of prison reform.
