However, people of conscience were beginning to protest against this situation. The story takes place in a prison for children where conditions are particularly harsh.

The assistant warden is a more modern man, and is appalled by the whole institution, but seeks to begin by reforming it. To that end, he has invited a journalist to come and see the conditions that prevail there, in the hopes that she will rouse public opinion against at least this one form of injustice.
