Prisoners Made No Trouble for Off

eials-A Number Were in Tears.
At o'clock Tuesday morning Depu-
ty Sheriff Draper took nine prisoners
from the local jail and left for New
New London. where the other four
bound for wethersfeld were taken on,
the trip being made via Saybrook.
There was no trouble for the officials
on the trip, Sheriff Brown and assist
ants getting them to the state institu-
ton safely. A number shed tears on
leaving when they said goodbye to
friends. One in particular George
Main, when he shook hands with a
friend, said: II wouldn't mind going
up and serving my time il I had done
anything, but l am innocent"
The reception of a batch OF New
London county convicts at the Connec-
ticut state prison Tuesday, said the
Hartford Times editorially, brings the
population of the institution up to
500 for the first time in its history.
Harboring more convfcts now than ev-
er before, the prison is full and its
housing capacity is taxed.
Clear and simple Is the situation.
Either the prison at Wethersheld
must be materially enlarged to ac-
commodate the normal growth Of the
state, or else a reformatory. to which
first offenders between the ages of 16
and rs may be committed and made
both to work and to study, must be
erected. Either one policy or the
other must be adopted unless the state
shirks its duty Either arrangement
win cost something.
The conviction which we have long
held and frequently expressed is that
the wiser plan Is to establish a state
reformatory. 1t will cost more. but it
should yield a higher dividend. No
reformatory can accomplish the i'm
possible or make everybody who comes
in bad go out good. But il can help.
No old-line prison. no matter how ad-
mirably conducted. in which young
first offenders are thrown into contact
with habituaI and professional rascals.
can be an effective substitute for a
reformatory.
The logic OF events, more powerful
than any abstract argument. is max
ing it necessary for the state. steadily
growing, to provide greater accommo-
dations for it's felons. The problem
now thrust on the legislature should
be solved not for year but for al
least decade.
