great caution in the use of water and fruit

not for the adult criminal, yet certainly for
the vicious youth some other receptacle and
treatment ought to be provided.
Let any man, with a spark of the parental
instinct in his heart, make the case bis own.
Who would not rather thousand times lay
his boy in the grave, nay die himself a
/ thousand deaths, than see him Immured
within those prison walls-buried alive in
that living sepulchre, that sepulchre of souls.
Let not the soul receive such burial until
the evidence is indisputable that it is dead.
Be it so that the youth is guilty and corrupt
ed, and even dangerous to the community.
treat him not as wild beast until you are
sure that humanity is dead in him, and bru-
tality and malignity alone survive.
If, as we believe. all this and more than
this is true OF the State Prison, 1t is, if pos
sihle, more emphatically true of our county
jails, where in very many instances young
cOnvicts are incarcerated and EXPOSED to all
the evil influences of unresirained Intercourse
with old and hardened offenders, without any
of the redeeming effects of the more rigid
government Of the State Prison.
II is notorious tina. not seldom the Judges
have out of mercy and pity for the juynile
offender, inflicted the extreme penalty of the
law, and sent him to State Prison to incur
"the inefiaceabie stigma - always attached
theret,, rather than expose him to the more
terrible doom Of the county Jail Directly
in point here is the following extract from.
the Burlington Free Press of October oath
1860. Having spoken of certain abuses and
defects in the Jail At Burlington, the writer
GOES on TO say:
but there are other defects which are
not 50 easily reached. Especially, and above
all, the need of better arrangements for the
separation of young offenders, OF both sexes,
from the older and hardened criminals, must
strike every one who examines the matter.
As a mere matter of dollars and cents. We
cannot afford to have our county Jail a
school of contamination, from which lads
and girls, confined perhaps for petty larceny,
graduate instructed IN burglary. arson and
every crime. When the moral considera-
tons are taken into account, questions of
expense are of no consequence. The people
OF this county have no righ to maintain
school of crime"
The bearing of this argument is this
That the more intense our dread and shrink
ing from the extreme penalty, from the hor-
rOr and ignominy, the moral death of the
State Prison or the Jail, the more faithful,
unsparing and rigid shall we be, and the
courts be, in checking the beginnings of
crime and enforcing the reformatory disci-
pline. Prosecution will be instituted, trial
had, and sentence given.
In conclusion, the Committee present for
the consideration of the House, the accom-
panying bill
