To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most of the convicts in South Carolina, for instance, are men between the ages of eighteen and thirty. At such an age the mind is still plastic. Schools should be set up for these young men, the right kind of reading furnished them, and recreations that would absorb inter- est and be useful in the world outside should be devised for them. Let me here contend for a new note in our prison education, and that note is education that would teach men what to do with their leisure. Nearly all of the p...risoners that I have examined have trades or occupations in which they can gain a living; they know how to work. What to do with their leisure is their problem. What they need is avocational rather than vocational training. 8 Besides, I have noticed that many of the industries carried on in the penitentiaries are not such as to give training that is in de- mand on the outside. There should be work, of course, such as to keep men fit and to contribute to their support, but the training had better be given to their direction of leisure.
