The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-01-15

Is the relative increase in the number of
criminals greater in this country than in
Great Britain? Most readers. we presume,
bearing in mind such dark pictures as those
drawn in General Booths I'm Darkest
England" would answer this question in
the negative. But the affirmative was
maintained in a recent address by Major
Robert Stiles. President of the Prison AS
sociation of Virginia, to which our atten-
tion has been called. Major Stiles who
has made special study of the prison sys-
TENS of England and this country. says that
in the last decade fifty six out of one hun
dred and thirteen convict prisons in Eng
land have been closed. while the number of
male prisoners has decreased twenty eight
per cent. and of female prisoners, forty
five per cent. during the same period. An
other striking fact, going to show that of
those now in prison in Great Britain large
majority belong to the incorrigible. hopeless
class, is that out of one hundred and thirty
prisoners in one convict prison in 1886 only
ten were first offenders. and of another
body of prisoners. also taken at venture,
seventy five per cent. were old offenders.
In contrast with this the speaker asserted
that in his own state. Virginia. serious
crime has nearly doubled in the last nine
years. We notice also. as fact having the
same significance. that in the report lately
read before the Massachusetts, Prison AS
sociation it was declared that at least 15O,-
900 persons are directly or Indirectly con-
nected with the criminal classes in that
state, and that the cost of police courts and
prisons requires tax of nearly three mill
ion dollars annually. The moral drawn by
Major Stiles and by the Secretary of the
Massachusetts Association is the same.
The latter says: 1T costs money to keep
man out of the criminal and pauper class,
but it will cost more to let him get into it.
and the rescue of one family will be sufi-
cient compensation for all the cost of time.
effort, and money which are involved in
maintaining local prisoners aid associa-
tion." Major Stiles confirms this view by
attributing the advance in England to the
six hundred and sixty three refOrmatOry,
preventive. and child saving institutions in
successful operation there. If we add to
the influences of industrial schools, reform
atories. and prisoners aid societies, the
principle of indeterminate sentences wisely
administered. we have formulated, it seems
to us. the only practical solution of tho
problem of dealing with crime before it is
matured and Obdurate. Christian Union.
