Men of Mistakes Find New Lives at Hope Hall Farm
In Rockland County a 25 acre farm houses ex-convicts reformed by Mrs. Maude Booth s Hope Hall program. Men labor in fields, read, play games, and live in a self supporting community away from the city. Since 1900 of 607 entrants, 490 have started new lives with steady work. Booth argues for rural prisons to teach farming and self respect, noting letters from employers praising these reformed workers.
