BERKA FOR CITY WORKHOUSE
Former Police Judge in Last Annual Report
Advocates Institution.
TENDENCY TO REPREsS CRIME IN OMAHA
Recommends City Build WOrkhOuse
where Prisoners Not Confined
in Jail May BE Reformed
and Punished.

Former Police Judge Berka. in his an
nual report for 1906. again goes on record
as favoring a workhouse for prisoners con-
victed of misdemeanors The report has
just been filed with the city clerk. Mr..
Berka, who retired from the police court
bench the first of the year, has long con-
tended for the establishment OF a work
house. not only as a means for lessening
the number OF Migrants and petty criminals
IN Omaha. but as a method OF reformation
He says:
1 would recommend that the city build a
workhouse, where those that are confined
In jail may have an opportunity TO work.
The primary object of a sentence is TO re-
form the prisoner; the next object is to
punish, so that the public may have an eX-
ample OF the consequences which follow
criminal acts. Work forms a systematic
habit OF industry and idle minds and hands
put to work soon find honest and useful
occupations when released from imprison-
ment.
The report shows that total of S1O,365
IN fines and fees were collected in police
court during the year. the fines amounting
20 S6.l72 and the costs to AisS. There were
1850 cases tried, 4476 convictions, 1904 dis
charges, % appeals taken to the district
court 21s persons bound over TO the dis
trict court and $.5s5sO left due the city
