The term reform school like the term correctional facility is a confusing one as it is obvious that they did nothing of the sort for juvenile offenders. So I assume they were there to scare people and give society a certain amount of self righteous satisfaction in having been avenged.

How were reform schools an improvement over prisons?

Reform schools were designed to focus on rehabilitation and education rather than punishment, emphasizing the moral and social development of young offenders.
