The legislature wisely refuses to make
a large appropriation for additional work
on the intermediate penitentiary at Mans
field. Events have proved that we do not
need such an Institution. The parole sys-
tenn is having good effect. and the num-
Der of prisoners whom it has been found
safe and useful to allow to run at large,
and to try to vindicate their purpose to lead
honest lives, has relieved the pressure of
the penitentiary at Columbus. What the
state ought to do is to sell the penitentiary,
site and buildings, at Columbus, and build
a new and large penitentiary building on
the site selected for the prison at Mans
deld. There are not sufficient or proper
accommodations for the institution at Co
lumbus, and such an Institution should not
be located in large city. Its influence IL
bad, in all respects, and the influence OF
the city on the institution is demoralizing.
II Mansfield wants it, Columbus ought to
thank her for taking it.
