Examines the treatment and reformation of the 'juvenile-adult' offender class at Clonmel borstal in country Tipperary. It was the first and only such institution in Ireland and opened in 1906 for the purpose of reforming male offenders aged between sixteen and twenty-one years. This book looks at the socio-economic background of the inmates, and the strict regime of education, training and spiritual instruction to which they were subjected.
