The opening of the journal presents the mission of the Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons and underscores the importance of moral and religious instruction within penitentiaries. It articulates the challenges of reforming convicts, emphasizing the necessity of early intervention and the cultivation of moral principles.
