The literature on the history of inebriate institutions is more extensive than one might have supposed. In addition to the Bretherton and McLaughlin articles I would add Christopher Harding and Laura Wilken, "'The Dream of the Benevolent Mind': The Late Victorian Response to the Problem of Inebriety," Criminal Justi ce History 9 (1988): 189-207; G. Hunt, J. Mellor & J. Turner, "'Wretched, Hat- less and Miserably Clad: Women & the Inebriate Reformatories from 1900 to 1913," British Journal of Sociology 40 (1989): 244-70; David Smith, "Drinking and Imprisonment in Late Victorian and Edwardian England," Historie Sociale/ Social History 19 (1986): 161-76; Lucia H. Zedner, Women, Crime and Custody in Victorian England (Oxford, 1991), ch. 6; Jenny Mellor, Geoffrey Hunt, Janet Turner and Lynn Rees, "'Prayers and Piecework: Inebriate Reformatories in Eng- land at the End of the 19th Century," Drogalkohol 3 (1986): 192-206; Beverley A . Smith, "Ireland's Ennis Inebriates' Reformatory: A 19th Century Example of Failed Institutional Reform," Federal Probation 53 (March 1989): 53-64. The above studies, of course, only reflect the literature on Britain. David W. Gutzke Department of History Southwest Missouri State University QUIT
