The New York House of Refuge, the first institution in America to deal with the juvenile delinquent as a special problem, opened its doors in 1825. Concerned with the plight of the children who roamed the streets, the institution was founded to rehabilitate "deviant" adolescents. This is the story of the critical early years of juvenile reform.
