New York Training School for Girls

Since 1976 it has been a minimum security prison for young male adults, recently called Hudson Correctional Facility.

In the beginning there were seven, three-story, well-established cottages for 26 girls on average, several sports fields, office buildings and a chapel.

[6] Moreno and his assistant Helen Jennings examined 500 girls, their intelligence, social activities and most importantly, their feelings towards each other.

As a conclusion he distilled that behind social phenomena there is an inexplicable driving force which is due to the structure of the relationships between individuals.
