TOCH LIBRARY

Most of the books in Hans Toch’s library are heavily marked up. This makes them worthless monetarily, but a treasure to see what he considered significant in the many classics in his library. Many are written by his former students.

Preparing Convicts for Law-Abiding Lives: The Pioneering Penology of Richard A. McGee

USED. MAY CONTAIN MARK-UP

By Daniel Glaser

From the Foreword: “How have governments dealt with persons convicted of crimes? How should this change? Answers to these questions are offered here in describing and assessing the career of Richard A. McGee (1897-1983), who was one of the most successful promoters of ways to control crime, yet alwaysdissatisfied with what he achieved. McGee's work in corrections began in 1931 as director of education in a federal prison. From 1935 to 1941 he supervised New York City penal facilities, then headed the Department of Public Institutions for the state of Washington, and from 1944 until his retirement in 1967, he directed California's state correctional programs. Throughout his years in justice agencies, and in retirement, McGee published extensively, and had numerous national and international offices and honors. This book draws much from his lucid writings.”
