"Chartered as a private corporation partially supported by Pennsylvania state subsidy, Sleighton Farm was an institution which provided special correctional education for youthful offenders in the late 1800s. This study followed up on the progress of 110 women who had been committed to and subsequently released from this institution. Almost without exception, the women, aged 25-29 years at the time of the study, were classified as sex delinquents who had come under the arm of the law. The follow-up interviews were conducted 8-10 years post-release. This study represents the first attempt to test objectively the program and methods of modern reformatory training".
