"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.
