Extract

All inmates at one time were first offenders. After the first offence some leave the stream of criminal activity and never return; some leave following probation, but others continue on to goal or reformatory. Some draw out of the current after this first institutional experience, but others continue to multiple reformatory terms and the penitentiary. Some continue on their course to multiple penitentiary sentences before they change their pattern of life. Some seem never to abandon the steady trek to and from prison.
