1t occasionally falls to the lot of
some of us to have within the state
| institutions friends or relatives occu-
pying official positions which, through
| their courtesy, naturally enables the
gaining of more thorough insight
into prison workings than can be con-
| sistently accorded the average visitor,
owing to lack of time upon the part of
the officials.
Such a one is Mr. J. w. Simmons
of Shiawassee county, and the insti-
tuition which contained his acquaint-
ance in an official capacity (Mr. How.
ard ShanafelD was Marquette prison.
Thus, being accorded special privileges
on a two days visit there he was
able to write interestingly concerning
the prison and Warden Russells pol
icies. To his home paper he recently
wrote, in part, as follows:
1.-THE Marquette s;ctc PRISON Is 10
Gated about one mile south of the city
proper, but within the corporation. It
is but short distance from Lake
Superior. and is in the midst of nat
ural surroundings equalled by but one
reformatory within my observations,
that of San Quentin, near San Fran
cisco, Cal. The air, the water and the
sanitary conditions could not be bet
ter. There are 312 cells, arranged in
three tiers or stories, and occupying
two cell blocks.
warden Russell has instituted a
supply store where the prisoners can
purchase large variety of supplies
that might be called extras or luxuries.
mo stripes are worn, and the uni.
form used is not particularly distin.
guishable from the clothing of outside
workmen. The OLD lock-step used in
so many prisons is not in vogue here.
Warden Russell believes in dis.
cipline, and lie has IL, but he tries 20

the method of cell construction. They
are we'll lighted from the windows at
either side during the day and by
electric lights in each cell at night.
Nearly all of the prisoners were en-.
gagged either in reading, study or some
employment, In their cells. Books. pa.
pers, typewriters and various sorts of
material are In use. The discipline ap-
pears to be good, and the prisoners in
pleasant frame of mind generally.
Stripes have been abolished and the
men wear unconspicuous clothing
"The methods of punishment in
vogue, aside from inmates being de-
prived of Jail and yard privileges for
disobedience, are the following: A re.
fractory prisoner who refuses to work
or obey other prison rules, and does
not yield to ordinary deprivation of
privileges, is put in solitary cell and
handcuffed and tied to the door in the
ordinary standing position, facing the
outside, and remains in that position
during the ordinary working hours
is regularly fed and sleeps in the cell
The cell, however, is not dark and is
supplied with comfortable bed He
is treated in this way until he is ready
to perform the tasks assigned him.
"The other method in vogue is that
of tlogging, which is used as a last
resort upon prisoners who are espe
cially disobedient and refractory and
inclined to make trouble in the prison.
This is the customary barrel and fog
ging arrangement, and Is apparently
used with varying degrees of severity,
according to the nature of the prison
er and his offense | was informed by
the warden that when he deemed it
necessary to resort to this method he
did it thoroughly, and until the pris-
oner gave in and agreed to obey the
rules and behave himself.
"These methods are not injurious to
the prisoners and are apparently eff
fective in maintaining discipline, the
theory of the warden being that they
should be used only as a last resort.
Prison officials say that these methods
prove effective and that it is not neces-
sary to resort to their use in more
than half a dozen instances in a year.
81 appreciate the fact that such
methods of punishment are subject to
abuse. but from the character of the
men in charge of the prison. their ma
ture and views, and sense of respon"
sibility, am of the opinion that this
power is not abused there"

corrections and charities, which is
worthy Of careful consideration. From
this some extracts will be of interest.
Before quoting from the above men
toned, there remains two things of
which to speak which has unquestion-
ably been a great factor in influencing
the public mind toward entertaining
the opinion that the prison at Mar
quette contains criminals Of the worst
class. This has been brought about
by the fact that judges, in passing SEN
tence upon characters who have been
convicted on some particularly heinous
crime, have usually committed them
to Marquette. And again 1t is often
noted in the newspapers that many
prisoners are transferred from the in
stitution at Jackson to Marquette.
One can hardly gainsay that War
den Russelrs reported severity Of
treatment necessarily made it harder
for q convict to serve time under him,
but rather that his excellent policies
in handling such men had success
fully shaped them into good citizens
with less friction. Let the credit then
be given to whom it belongs.
Not long since, Commissioner George
Clapperton of the state board of cor
rections and charities paid a two days
visit to Marquette prison. Following
this he reported, in writing, to mis-
board and recited many interesting
things concerning the institution. He
said in part:
81 visited this prison on the evening
of the 4th of March and on March 5th.
investigated the portion occupied by
cells during the evening, when the
prisoners were occupying them. Every
thing seemed to be remarkably clean
and orderly and in good condition
The cells were comfortably furnished,

the man and arouses his brutal In.
stincts instead of appealing to his bet
ter nature.
Each evening the men are allowed
the freedom of the Jail yard for thirty
minutes.
Instead of large dining room, the
men eat in their own cells. Attend.
ants pass along and furnish each man
with knife, fork and spoon. Others
pass with meat, then come the po.
tatoes, followed by bread and such
vegetables as may be furnished. Each
man helps himself to all the bread and
vegetables that he wishes to take
While all are fully supplied, no one
is permitted to waste any food He
must use what he takes.
"The prison has a large and well
selected library. An evening school
is organized for such as need and de-
sire instruction in the common
branches.
There are two contracts upon
which the men are now working. One
the overall and jacket factory, the
other cases or boxes for shipping
goods. For extra work the men are
paid in prison scrip, which is exchang-
able for currency when the term Of
service expires, or the money can be
RENTED to friends outside. This pris-

on scrip is used in making the pur-
chases from the prison store.
when Warden Russell became war
den there was a cage over head in the
shops in which an armed guard took
his position before the prisoners en-
tered, and the ladder giving access to
same was taken into the cage. This
was a source of evaporation to the
men. So to Warden Russell we can
credit the just removal of this guard,
abolition of s,r1pes, installation of the
stove, extending the time for use of
lights, granting more privileges in Jail
ward and other things tending to the
uplift of men,"
