Item The development of the public charities in Indiana(The Board of State Charities of Indiana, 1905-10-01)This pamphlet is published by the Board of State Charities of Indiana in response to the demand for the information, in accessible form, contained in the exhibit made by the Board for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, in 1904. The exhibit was prepared at the request of the Indiana World's Fair Commission. Though small, it was as comprehensive as was possible in the limited space at the Board's disposal, and was awarded a Grand Prize (the highest recognition) by the Committee on Awards. Some slight additions have been made and many of the statistics have been brought to date.Item Here We Come Ready or Not: Occupational Therapy Program to Help Prepare Prisoners for Reentry into Society(Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2015-04-17) Crabtree, Jeffrey L.; Ohm, David; Wall, Jarrod; Ray, Joseph; Cheesman, Mackenzie; Goldman, Lainey; Ridener, Emilea; Rosswurm, KelseyAbstract Background: In 2013 about 10 million people were involved in various stages of imprisonment world-wide. In that same year there were about 1,574,700 persons in state and federal prisons in the United States, and 29,905 in Indiana (state and federal) prisons. Most of those people will return to society, but for how long? According to the most recent data available, a little over two-thirds (67.8%) of those released were arrested for a new crime within 3 years and over three-quarters (76.6%) were arrested for a new crime within 5 years. Education is one of the most effective reducers of recidivism, but it is unclear what kinds of education best prepare people to not only return to society, but to thrive in society. Objectives: The first of a two-part study explored how 27 residents of a minimum security prison responded to an Occupational Therapy Community Living Skills Program (OTCLS) developed to help prepare residents for successful reentry into society. Method: Using a participatory action research (PAR) approach, we interviewed 27 residents who completed the program. Once the semi-structured interviews were transcribed, the PAR team conducted a summative content analysis of the data. Results: Initial content analysis yielded five concepts: doing; information; re-entry fears (socialization); technology; and self-worth. Participants seemed to gain a sense of self-worth by doing activities related to information gathering, socialization, and technology. Further interpretation yielded three overlapping themes: 1) validation of self-worth (participants expressed how self-validating it is to have “real people” come in to help), 2) doing (role playing, a common activity, “…was kind of nerve-wracking at first then [I] began to slowly ease into it…”), and 3) concerns about the future (one resident summed up the value of the program: having “…something real positive you’re looking forward to…helps in dissipating the fears perhaps in reentry.”). Conclusions: This retrospective study identified potentially powerful elements of a successful re-entry program. In the second part of the study we will evaluate a revised program using a pre-test; post-test and follow-up approach to learn more about what kinds of education best prepare people to not only return to society, but to thrive in society.Item Indiana State Board of Health Monthly Bulletin, 1905 Vol. 7 No. 5(1905) Hessler, Robert; Davis, T. HenryItem Some Families as Factors in Anti-Social Conditions(Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins Co., 1923) Butler, Amos W.Item Sterilization and Segregation(The Department of Child Helping of the Russell Sage Foundation, 1913-03-01) Goddard, Henry HerbertDr. Goddard brings out the fact, that while sterilization promises help in checking the multiplication of defectives, it is at best a partial remedy, and he shows, on pages 7 and 8, that "the practical application of it is fraught with difficulty. " It makes it clear that it is necessary to develop the segregation plan of colonization as well.Item Strange bedfellows: torture and medical professionals(2008-05-28) Gaffney, Margaret M.The lecture, sponsored by the Charles Warren Fairbanks Center for Medical Ethics, outlines the history of physician participation in torture, identifies professional, international and military codes that are relevant to torture, and describes current controversies related to medical personnel and treatment of prisoners.Item Strange Bedfellows: Torture and Medical Professionals(2018-02-21) Gaffney, Margaret M.
