On the Cover
IRVING GOLDWORM took this month's cover photograph in the midsixties at a reform school outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The facility was built in the early nineteenth century and had been in continuous use ever since. Goldworm, who had only recently taken up photography, went there to document what he had seen during a social-work internship at the school several years earlier. "I feared that I'd have difficulty getting permission from the director to take pictures," he says, "but he gave me carte blanche. He was proud of the facility he ran." Solitary confinement, in a cell like the one pictured, was used as punishment when other efforts to get a boy to behave had failed.
