One notable social worker who engaged in prison reform during the 1900s is Frances Perkins. While she is more famously known for her work as the first female U.S. Cabinet member and as the Secretary of Labor under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Perkins also made significant contributions to prison reform earlier in her career.
Perkins advocated for improved conditions within prisons, emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation and preparing inmates for successful reentry into society. She was particularly concerned about juvenile justice and worked to improve the treatment of young offenders within the criminal justice system.
