In reading a paper before the Char.
ity Conference in Washington the 9th.
er day Charles Dudley Warner re.
marked that the average penitentiary
is very much like a modern hotel,
where persons are lodged and fed for a
time, with the exception that there is
no bill to pay at the end of the term.
Under the sway of the sentimentalists
prisons have lost nearly all the feat.
ures OF a place of punishment. Yet
the cost OF sustaining convicts in this
way reaches enormous figures, and is
estimated as equal to the interest on
the public debt at it's highest point.
Putting these two facts together, it is
apparent that prison reform of some
kind must soon become a pressing
question.
