- "This study of chaplaincy in Canada's federal penitentiaries is designed to let the early chaplains tell their own story. Their personal reports give us ample original documentation of their considerable contribution to the development of both the theory and the practice of penology in Canada. .... Our main source of original material was the annual reports of chaplains which were published from 1837 to 1916 as part of the reports of the Directors of Penitentiaries or the Minister of Justice in Sessional Documents. Information about the subsequent years was derived from the reports of wardens, some of whom included references to the work of their chaplains; most did not. Some Commissioners too made mention of chaplaincy; most did not. In recent years the information base has become even more diffuse and future research will be more difficult". -- Author's Preface.
