Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Annual Congress of the National Prison Association of the United States: Held at Nashville, November 16-20, 1889
T Nashville, for the first time in the history of the National Prison Association, the southern states were fairly well rep resented. Delegates were in attendance from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennes see, and Texas, and their presence contributed much to the pleas ure and profit of this meeting. The audience which greeted President hayes on the opening night was the largest which has ever assembled on any occasion, to hear the prison question discussed, and this in spite of a pouring rain. As time passes, it becomes evident that the influence of the As sociation is not measured by the number of its enrolled members. Its very existence is a constant reminder that the prison question is still unsolved, and is a stimulus to effort to find its solution.
