Self-respect by Stuart Oakden

Posted in

To bring about a reformation in character it is necessary to re-establish a person's self-respect. This fact is now widely recognised, and is part of the policy of those engaged in prison reform. A man with no self respect offers no handle to the reformer, he has no sense of shame, and is no more abashed than Falstaff when his faults are pointed out.
