ford, N. Y Miss Davis would have a
number of buildings erected on a site
as far away as possible from prison
environment. Beginning with a small

type, the vicious type in one class, the
mentally defective in another class, and
so on.
Trained pathologists and psycholo-
gists would make an individual study
of the character, thoughts and habits
of each woman.
The disposition aimed at would be
eventual parole.
