The Jails Make Criminals
By G. v. COLLINS. New York state superintendent of Prison.

BY I. w. COLLINS. New York State superintendent OF Prisons
VA E who are familiar with the facts know that many convicts
are received at the prisons who are morally poisoned and
~ contaminated WHILE AWAITING TRIAL in the
iaIs by the intimate association with confirmed and de-
kgraded criminals which is permitted in these institutions. This is espe
cially true of the younger class of offenders, who come to the Jail hav-
ing respect for authority and DREAD OF CONFINEMENT. AT
no period of their penal term are they so susceptible to external lnhu'
ences. If at this period a practical influence is
exertedtupon them their correction can in most cases be accomplished,
but if they are leftin idleness and subject to the evil influences OF de-
graded companions their respect for law-is soon destroyed and they be-
come hardened and defiant and accept the theories and ambitions OF
the confirmed criminals AS THEIR OWN. Thus the man who
enters Jail in such condition that proper treatment would readily turn
him from his criminal course often reaches the prison a most dlscour
aging subject for its reformatory system.
For the interest of society as well as for the'protecton of young
offenders the Jail system should be corrected. The Jail buildings are
improved and the prisoners are better fed than they were fifty years
ago. OTHERWISE the system remains practically the same. is
conspicuous defects still exist. No chain is stronger than its weakest
link. The extensive schemes of penal administration in the several
states havetheir fatally weak part IN THEIR JAlLS.
