Abstract
During the year ending September 30, 1915, there were returned to Auburn Prison thirty (30) parole violators, one of whom has not been considered in this study because of the legal technicalities involved in his case. This, of course, does not comprise the total number of those who violated their parole during the year, nor all of those who were declared delinquent, but only those who were returned to this institution. Some who are included in this study were paroled from the other prisons of the state and were returned here for the reason of proximity to the place where they were taken in custody. The method of study that has been adopted has been first to give a history of the cases and to follow this with a summary of statistics, making such comment as seems indicated. An endeavor has been made to render the statistics, as nearly as possible, self-explanatory. It may be insisted that the number studied is too small on which to base conclusions, but no apology is offered on this score, since the statistics are obtained by an intensive study of the individual, the method that is the basis of modern penology. The comparisons that are made throughout under the title of All Classes refer to the results of a special study of two hundred consecutive admissions to this prison made during the fiscal year. The case histories follow.
