WHILE in theory the subject Of
prison reform has been intelligently
analysed and the remedies for evils
suggested it must be admitted that in
practice the work has scarcely been
begun. in the majority OF states and
municipalities the control of prisons is
vested in boards that are wholly gov
erned by political expediency.
Boys Of tender years are thrust
in the same prison corridors
with hardened criminals. 1t is use
less to elaborate the theoretical side
OF prison reform until common Justice
