- W620590968 abstract "At the dawn of the twentieth century and at the height of Progressivism, numerous institutions for wayward black youth opened throughout the United States. Concentrated in the South, many of these facilities separated youth by gender. Through examining archival records, articles, and books, this study compares the Virginia State Industrial Home for Colored Girls and the Missouri State Industrial School for Negro Girls. While the former facility was considered a model reformatory dedicated to rehabilitation of its pupils, the latter was a deplorable prison-like structure, underfunded and neglected by the state. This investigation compares these two institutions by looking at four points of differentiation: creation, logistics, discipline, and inmates. The creation of these reformatories set the foundation for their opposite trajectories in subsequent years. Similarly, the logistics at both institutions, ranging from staffing to food rations and chores, contributed to their successes and failures. Both schools created plans for behavior which incentivized the girls to act appropriately in order to achieve parole, yet the differences in the policies had noticeable effects. Lastly, the differences in inmates sent to both facilities were minimal but worthy of discussion. By comparing these two institutions, it is possible to uncover hidden truths about what went on behind the closed doors of youth reformatories and the plight of young black females growing up in urban environments in the early twentieth century.
