Policy urged for reform at Iowa reformatory
A 171 page report on the Iowa Men's Reformatory at Anamosa, released by Governor Hickenlooper, praises Warden Foss Davis yet calls for sweeping reforms in state policy. It recommends inmate classification, expanded education, staff overhaul, end to outcamps, higher salaries, guard training, updated guard manual, and prosecution of escapes, with notes on faulty communications and the facility being used more as a prison than a reform school.
