Georgia urged to aid prisoners at Milledgeville State Farm

It calls for better facilities, improved sewerage, rapid relief of overcrowding, and independent operation of the reformatory, with possible parole or funds to address life and health concerns. The report warns of deplorable conditions, especially in female and colored wards, and notes typhoid outbreaks among boys.
