AMrAnLE CRIMINALS.



A Chicago criminal lawyer, editor
of American Criminal Records, who
appears to have made a pretty pro-
found study of penology, proposes the
establishment of a colony for what he
calls "amlable criminals" The Idea
of this crlminologlst is to found a coll
ony in the open country whore tho
restraint will not be so calling as in
regular penitentlnry. In such an
institution there would be the help of
green fields and trees, of flowers and
other humaniging influences.
Now in broad way this idea is
excellent. Undoubtedly the method of
dealing with criminals. even under
tho most advanced conditions of the
day. is faulty. 1t tends to harden con-
dcmned persons rather than to lift
them to a higher moral plane. The
most abandoned degraded and degen-
crate types are mixed together with
persons whose fault was more q mat
ter of accident than perhaps of de-
liberate intent. There ought to be u
segregation of criminals OF different
types, with different treatment. The
purpose of such segregation would be
to reclaim those who are reclaimable,
and undoubtedly there are numerous
Instances wherein men who have fall
en- into criminal courses under stress
of necessity or sudden temptation are
anything but hardened offenders.
