TREATMENT OF
CRIMINAL insane

WALLA WALLA, Dec. 10
Chester Thompson of Seattle and
Sidney Sloan of Spokane, both MUIR
derers, are accorded the freedom of
the penitentiary hospital on the
ground that they are insane prison
ers. Nineteen other convicts admit
tedly insane, are confined in prison
cells.
Both Thompson and Sloan are con-
lined in the hospital, where they are
accorded every courtesy of free men
oecaues the state board of control
ordered it. Both were in stripes and
both We're treated as prisoners until
the state board of control interfered.
board has not shown the same
conc~ q about the other insane GRIM
inals.
Sloan had been three months In
the renitentiary when Thompson ar
rived. Sloan was in stripes and was
treated as criminal insane ward OIL
the state, receiving about the same
treatment as the other prisoners
known to be insane. When Thomp'
son arrived he was placed in stripes
and given treatment the state board
had observed Sloan receive without
comment Two lays later peremp'
tory telegram from the state board
instructed the warden to put Thomp'
son and Sloan in citizens clothes
AMI give them the freedom of the
hospital ward.
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1907-12-10

The ruling on behalf of Thompson
and Sloan was made under cover OF
general order directed at all insane
criminals. But at the time it was
issued the board knew it was impos-
sibl9 to send any hut Thompson and
Sloar to the hospital. The other In
sane convicts could not be trusted
outside cell, and the board of con-
troll knew 1t. The ruling was made
solely for Thompson and Sloan.
Neither of the two alleged insane
patients is suffering any serious re-
striction of his liberty. They are
treated with as much courtesy as a
visitor and are given as many favors
as a petted employee. The edict OF
the state board is pretty well under
stood at the penitentiary and en-
ployes know that the two men have
friends in power and must be treated
with extra consideration.
Just what prison authorities
would do If either of the convicts
tried to escape is a matter perplex-
ing the guards. theoretically they
are insane, and prison authorities
have no right to use the methods
adopted to prevent other prisoners
from escaping. If they are insane,
the two men could not be persuaded
through moral suasion to return tc
the hospital.
What confinement in the state
penitentiary means is indicated by
the fact that there are but four men
in the PRISON who have served more
than 10 years time. OF these four
two are insane.
