Cornerstone Day at Hampton Farms New York Reformatory
Mayor Michel laid the cornerstone of the four story administration building at Hampton Farms for the New York City Reformatory. The vast project uses inmate labor and aims to rehabilitate youths with a system of merit earning and parole supervised by Major Lawes. The campus includes shops, a hospital, dorms, and a railroad built by inmates, with plans for canning, bakeries, and self supporting facilities.
