In 1930, the John Howard Society and the Elizabeth Fry Society joined other groups to do what?

• A. Separate the youth, adults and females
• B. Prevent segregation
• C. Rehabilitate prisoners
• D. Provide community housing

Answer: (C)

The core idea here is the rehabilitative focus of these organizations. The John Howard Society and the Elizabeth Fry Society were formed to push for humane, reform-minded treatment of offenders and to help with their rehabilitation and reintegration into society. In joining with other groups in 1930, their aim was to support prisoners through education, vocational training, and social support so they could live crime-free lives after release. That makes rehabilitating prisoners the best fit.

The other options don’t match this mission. Separating youth, adults, and females would be about organizational structure or policy, not the groups’ main purpose. Preventing segregation isn’t their central goal, and providing community housing isn’t the primary focus of their correctional reform work.
