Lewis Lawes was a man who was quite influential in the correctional history of the United States. His writings and his political contacts put him in a unique position to talk constructively about the important criminal justice issues during the 1920s and the 1930s. The topics debated during this time period, juvenile justice, gun control, the death penalty and what the role of prisons should be, are just as relevant today.
