PRISON MANAGEMENT REFORM.
Progress That Has Already Been Made in
This State

A marked change has taken place IN the treat
ulent OF couvtcts in the State OF New York IN tho
last few years. The lockstep has been abolished
and the prisoners hair Is not cropped nor are
those serving their first terms put into stripes.
The system OF contract labor IS a thing OF the
past. and in dealing With the men kindness has
taken the place OF harshuess. The grading Of the
men has been fully established and enforced ana
the parole system has passed the experimental
stage.
