In 1955 the American Prison Association held its conference in Atlantic City. A map of New Jersey's highlights titled New Jersey Invites You to Come and See it All was created to welcome guests.
These highlights were mostly prisons in their eyes. For example, the nearby Prison Farm at Leesburg.
Sure, there are other things to see in New Jersey like some statue of liberty but check out the Rahway Reformatory.
Washington crossed the Delaware, there's a world-class university but the Trenton Home for Girls is really something!
High Point is one of the few places highlighted that sounds like a nice place for the spouse to visit while you're at the conference.
Even the roads look imprisoning with the light posts evoking watch towers or fences.
Nothing much to see in this area-except for the Camden County Workhouse.
You can browse the entire map on the Rutgers Mapmaker web site.
