The prisoner unjusty cruelty treated will resent
the injury just any other would resent it. and
it is possible he will wreak his vengeance not upon
the actual offender, but upon society at large. From
self interest from purely selfish standpoint it is
therefore essential that the custodans of prisoners
should treat their wards justly, and as though the

JUSTICE AND THE PRISONER.

The methods of treatment of prisoners in the Erie
county penitentiary, New York state, seem to be
rather antique Judging by the evidence laid before
the court in the case of former prisoner named
Frederick Schneider, charged with setting fire to the
prison pigpen. The counsel for Schneider proved
that his client thrown into dark cell at 3
o'clock in the afternoon and handcufed to the bars
with his hands high above his head, and his feet
shackled, and kept in this exhausting position
until the next morning. when he consented to make
a confession that he the incendiary, further
nducement being the threat that if he did not
fess he would be sent to Auburn prison for ten
years. The judge very properly directed the
quitta of the prisoner, and rejected the purported
confession SO extracted
Such methods of dealing with prisoners seem
like relics of the middle ages. The robber barons
of the Rhine scarcely proceeded to greater extremes
employed more cruel means to extract loan from
unfortunate captive It is very evident that the
science of penology is not deeply studied by the
officials of Erie county penitentary, and that the
humane, sensible and lawful methods now considered
essential to the skifu management of penal inst-
tuition and the maintenance of discipline among it's
inmates, among the things to them unknown, or,
at any rate, Impractical
Prisoners not angels. They no doubt be-
have badly at times and exasperate their keepers.
But the special value of prison warden deputy
lies in his possession of perfect sef-control. He
