13 letters from Labour Directors to the Hoorn correctional facility, 1831. + het grootboek Administratie-thesaurier 1835-1838 van de Gevangenischen te Hoorn. Bijgehouden door den Heer Mr. J. Pan.

Letters to the administration about the correctional facilities and prison in Hoorn, by several Labour Directors about hiring wardens, dismissing prisoners without means, and transferring juvenile delinquents avoiding them "getting into touch with older and hardened criminals which may heighten their immorality and render them insusceptible to corrections"; there is a search for youngsters who can be retrained as tailors. Advice during this selection is to pay attention to "their skills and experience in their work, but also to the degree of depravity they can be assumed to possess."
