The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1888-09-05
The Duties and Influence of Prison
Physicians.


The physician is natural adviser of the
unfortunate everywhere. In no relation
OF life, if heis humane and educated man,
! can he render more aid and comfort to his
fellOwmen than in the position of a prison
physician. The nature of his calling. the
character of his studies, his peculiar mental
training, all give him the advantage over
other men in dealing with mankind. The
smallest degree of reflection will convince
any one OF the truth of this observation
When borne in mind how intimately aSSOci-
ated is the material structure of our frames
with all those characteristics Of men and
women which we call mental, moral or re-
ligiOuS it is obvious how much deeper and
clearer must be the insight to human nature
| of one who has a profound knowledge OF
the sources from which many of these char
acteristics spring. How intimately states
| OF health, forms of disease, or inherited tenn
peramentS affect the mental and moral quail
ties, the educated medical man knows, but
how frequently do we see these conditions
entirely overlooked or ignored by those
having charge OF the unfortunate. The
physician is of all men the fittest to deal
with the criminal. Scientific training gives
a much wider range to his vision, SO that he
acquires truer grasp OF human character.
There is. no doubt. much humanity left
in the. heart of the lowest men. and it is the
special duty of the prison physician to seek
out this humanity; to guide and strengthen
it with friendly counsel and kindly offices.
The prisoner will open his heart and un-
veil his secret nature to the physician in
preference to the chaplain or other officers
of the prison. Not only will he lay bare
h oil, 70 h,,f fo1
spiritual trials. 1t is dealing with these
troubles that the physician can only eXer-
else a beneticent influence on the prisoner
himself but also secure efficiency in the dis
cipline of the prison. What the prisoner
needs above all things in his dreary and
cheerleSS life is the presence of friend.
AS soon as he feels that he has a friend he
becomes happier and better man. He
then feels that he has some one to lean on:
some one to look up to; some one to cOnfide
in and trust. This gives him hope, and with
hope left no one is utterly wretched From
melancholy neglected, lonely being, he is
transformed into a bright, cheerful man.
There are few men. it is true, who can
not be benefited by any agency. There is
crime diatheSis just as there is disease
diathesis-that is there are men born with
crime dispositions just as there are men
born with an inheritance of struma. syphilis,
or insanity. With the constitutional crimi-
nal no length of confinement; no amount Of
moral treatment will benefit him. 1t is in
the care. study and investigation of such
cases that the medical man can do much,
not only to aid the prison authorities in
their management. but to contribute to So
cial science facts that may benefit those en-
gagged in reforming criminals.-By John
Morris, Nj. D., of Baltimore.

deeply interested in it; 50 much so, in fact,
that it is quite probable he will be liberated
ere many days. as the lady generously
agrees to provide suitable home for him.
AS some one may ask from what portion of
this glorious state of Minnesota these in
fants in durance vile have been sent, l will
add that they were all consigned from 1.-The
banner cOunty'--Hennepin; the county
which enjoys the unenviable distinction of
being the most prolific convict-prOducer in
the entire state. And still murder and pill
lage run rampant in the streets of its princi-
pal city. In view of these facts l would
like to suggest that it is possible for the
brilliant. but over Jealous. prosecutor over
there to gain political preferment. and still
wave the banner" of his questionable sue
cess, without transforming the state prison
into baby farm. c. H. r.

A Baby Lise-COnVict.

The startling report comes from Frank
fort, Kentucky, in special to one of our
exchanges, that the most youthful offender
ever confined within pententiary was re-
ceived there few days ago. He was so
childish in appearance that the usually i'm
perturbable officials were paralyZed when
the sheriff who brought him informed them
that he was prisoner.
The boys name is Linnville Combs; he
was eleven years old last March. weighs
seventy pounds, and is little upward of
four feet in height. He killed little sis
ter three years of age and was sent up for
life. 1t would seem that he entered the
grim portals of the big dollhouse with his
dark-brOwn ewes opened wide with aston
ishment that any one there could have any
business with him. Sitting in a chair,
twirling his straw hat in his hands. push
ing back and falling forward, and with his
feet barely touching the floor. he looked so
innocent it was hard to believe that he had
but three months before committed the awful
crime of sOroricide. He was convicted
upon his own confession, related in an art
less way, before court and jury, and sen-
fenced to the penitentiary for life-a burn
ing shame upon chivalrOus Kentucky for
not providing house of reformation for
juvenile culprits. We cannot but think
that this gross outrage on public decency
must cause even Henri WattersOn's ''Star-
eyed goddess of reform' to weep bitter
tears of pain and modification. and it will
arouse her righteous indignation. if she her
self has not become demoralized by too
close communion with the cOnvival spirits
of that far-famed land of blue grass and
red noses.
The boy, or baby convict, said he never
went to school, but attended Sunday
school once or twice. When asked if he
didn't know he would be punished for his
crime, he said; Whats that?" He was

Says a professor in one of our theological
seminaries: 1.-The severest test to which a
book can be subjected is that of translating
it into other languages than the one in
which it was written. The Koran is not
much of book in any language but Arabic.

the circuit of the globe, holding its own in
every important language or dialect of

A hawk for his sister, and one for his brother,
And uncles and aunts there were, by the dozens.

But the delicate nature too sorely was tried;
With no visible sickness the dove dropped and

Then loud was the grief, and the wish all ex-
To call the learned birds and hold an inquest.
So all the birds came, but each shook his head;
No disease could he name why the dove should

The cause of her death was-too much hawk!

That this the cause. and the verdict was true!
