How did Zebulon Brockway's use of indeterminate sentences ultimately result in earning the title "Father of American Parole?"
Brockway, like Maconochie, wrote a book on American prisons, which became a best seller, and so Brockway spent most of the rest
of his career giving lectures on prison reform
Brockway was called the "Father of American Parole" by the prison guards in Connecticut because they predicted he would become
famous by introducing indeterminate sentences
Brockway was like Maconochie when he introduced work-and-release system, which became popular with his supervisors, but
Brockway had much opposition from his peers who did not see the value of reform
Brockway believed in reformation, seeing indeterminate sentences as allowing time for prisoners to lessen their prison time by good
behavior and accessing education and trade training
