Conscience And Convenience Was Quickly Recognized For Its Masterly Depiction And Interpretation Of A Major Period Of Reform History. This History Begins In A Social Context In Which Treatment And Rehabilitation Were Emerging As Predominant After America'S Prisons And Asylums Had Been Broadly Acknowledged To Be Little More Than Embarrassing Failures. The Resulting Progressive Agenda Was Evident: To Develop New, More Humane And Effective Strategies For The Criminal, Delinquent, And Mentally Ill. The Results, As Rothman Documents, Did Not Turn Out As Reformers Had Planned.For Adult Criminal Offenders, Such Individual Treatment Could Be Accomplished Only Through The Provision Of Broad Discretionary Authority, Whereby Choices Could Be Made Between Probation, Parole, Indeterminate Sentencing, And, As A Measure Of Last Resort, Incarceration In Totally Redesigned Prisons. For Delinquents, The Juvenile Court Served As A Surrogate Parent And Accelerated And Intensified Individual Treatment By Providing For A Series Of Communitybased Individual And Family Services, With The Newly Designed, Schoollike Reformatories Being Used For Only The Most Intractable Cases. For The Mentally Ill, Psychiatrists Chose Between Outpatient Treatments, Shortterm Intensive Care, Or As Last Resort, Longterm Care In Mental Hospitals With New Cottage And Familylike Arrangements. Rothman Shows The Consequences Of These Reforms As Unmitigated Disasters. Despite Benevolent Intentions, The Actual Outcome Of Reform Efforts Was To Take The Earlier Failures Of Prisons And Asylums To New, More Ominous Heights.In This Updated Edition, Rothman Chronicles And Examines Incarceration Of The Criminal, The Deviant, And The Dependent In U.S. Society, With A Focus On How And Why These Methods Have Persisted And Expanded For Over A Century And A Half Despite Longstanding Evidence Of Their Failures And Abuses.
