Reformatory
Reformatories were a form of children’s institution first promoted by the British nineteenth century child-reformer Mary Carpenter. They were originally intended as a means of separating children who had been convicted of criminal offenses from the adult prisoner population. In Australia reformatories were used for children who were convicted of offenses, but also for children who were, for a variety of reasons, judged as needing strong discipline.
