No National Military Prison.

The law also makes a radical change in
the methods Of punishment of the War De-
partment. While it inaugurates a national
system for prisoners sentenced by the
United States civil courts, it abandons the
national system, except in extreme cases,
for military prisoners. The national plan
has been found to be undesirable for the
army, and the heads of this branch of the
service express the opinion that it will be
in every way more satisfactory to punish
ordinary military prisoners at their respec-
tive posts than at a central institution.
The principal objection to the national plan
In the army Is found in the fact that it
brings the prisoners who are incarcerated
for slight offenses, constituting a large ma
jority Of the military prisoners into con-
tact with hardened criminals, and has a
tendency to corrupt the offenders of a
smaller degree. 1t is also urged that the
ordinary military offenders can be made
useful about the various military posts in
doing mental service. There will also be
big saving of expense in guard duty and in
transportation, amounting on the latter ac-
count, II is believed, to as much as 100000.

4 ATIONAL PRISON
Arranging for Transformation at Fort
Leavenworth.
The Governments Accounts With
State PrisOns-The Military
Prisoners.

In making provision for the TRANSFORMED
ton of the military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan, into a national penitentiary,
as Congress directed at the last session by
provision in the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill, new system has been inaugu-
rated by the government, which, 1t is be-
lieved, will in time lead to a complete
change in the method for caring for United
States criminals. The system now in vogue
Is to locate the federal convicts in the
various state penitentiaries wherever the
best terms can be procured, and it has
come to be very difficult to find lodgment
for them since the passage of the law pro-
hfbiting these convicts from engaging in
any employment which will bring the pro-
duct of their labor into competition with
the product of free labor
Convfcts Scattered.
There are about 1000 of these convicts,
and they are scattered about the country
in the state institutions, from New York to
California. wherever the laws of the state
permit their acceptance and accQmmoda-
lions can be found. The large majority of
them are, however, confined in eastern in
situations, and as many of the prisoners
are sent from the western states and ter
ritories the expense Of transportation is a
ern states for caring for convicts is SO
much larger than that charged by eastern
states, however, as to make the saving of
the difference on this account of more i'm
portance than the saving of the transporta-
ton. Some of the western states charge
as much as 81 per day for the care of
United states prisoners, while the charge
in the eastern states ranges from 20 to 40
cents. Furthermore, the United States
loses all control of its prisoners when turn
ed over to the state institutions.
The Fort LeaVenwOrth prison will accom-
modate only about 500 convicts, but it is
probable that if the experiment proves
successful other similar Institutions will
be established Congress few years ago
enacted law providing for three national
penitentiaries. to he located, one in the
east, another in the west and the third
near the center of the country, but the
law proved dead letter, as no appropria-
ton was made for carrying it into effect
In the case of Fort Leavenworth, no pre-
linlinary expense will be necessary, as the
military prison is in good shape to receive
the civil convicts. The prison has con-
nected with 1t farm of thousand acres
and is also provided with work shops of
various kinds. which it is believed will aid
in making the institution self-supporting.
The new law provides carefully, however,
against the employment of the convicts in
any way so as to bring them into competi-
ton with free labor. 1t is estimated that 500
prisoners can be taken care of at cost of
S125,OO0 the first year, which would be
reduction of about one-fourth of the usual
cost.
