The startling fact is shown 10y re
ports of the Massachusetts, Commits
sieners of Prisons that during the
last fifty years, while the population
of the State has only trebled, the
number of criminals has increased
fifty fold. There is one prisoner to
every 400 inhabitants in the State,
aud in Boston oae to every 222 in
habitants This large proportion
however, includes re-commitments.
These facts are interpreted by Mr..
William p. Andrews, for many years
Clerk of the Criminal Court at Sa
lem. Mass, as evidence that the ere
formatory" conduct of prisons has
caused an alarming increase of crime
and that the substitution of reform
atory for punitive treatment is fast
bringing us to State socialism
through the attractiveness of prison
life. Mr. Andrews viii contribute
an article to the October Forum,
containing the results of many years
observation of the working of the
two systems.
