Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the first annual report of the Board of State Charities of Massachusetts, detailing its investigations and recommendations for the state's charitable and correctional institutions between 1863 and 1864. It examines the conditions of the state's lunatic hospitals, reform schools, and almshouses, providing insights into the treatment of the mentally ill, the reformation of delinquents, and the care of the poor. The report highlights the challenges faced by these institutions, including overcrowding, inadequate funding, and a lack of proper classification of inmates.
