Prison reform advocate Ruth Baker shaped Wisconsin policy
Ruth Baker, retired in Scottsdale, spent nearly four decades in prison reform starting in the early 1920s. She aimed to understand prisoners’ desires and potential rather than their crimes, noting bright men behind bars and opposing capital punishment and mandatory sentencing. Baker described cases from a Dillinger gang editor to a woman who changed her life after parole.
