Punishment and swift justice urged by Sing Sing warden
This 1925 correspondence between Major Lewis E Lawes, warden of Sing Sing Prison, and Adolph Lewishon argues that crime reduces through certainty of punishment rather than severity. Lawes stresses rehabilitation, proper incentives, and careful release planning to prevent recidivism and avoid institutionalization.
