Helping Hand

The Helping Hand is a book written by Caroline Matilda Kirkland in 1853. It is a detailed account of the Home for Discharged Female Convicts, an institution dedicated to rehabilitating women who have been released from prison. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history, organization, and daily operations of the Home, as well as the challenges faced by the women who reside there. Kirkland also makes an impassioned appeal on behalf of the institution, arguing that it is a vital resource for society and deserving of support. The Helping Hand is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the complex issues surrounding crime, punishment, and rehabilitation in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
