TO the Editor OF The IrlDune.
Sir: The recent International Prison
Congress at Washington advocated more
efficient and extensive aid of prisoners
after release from prison. This was one
of the ''keynotes" Of the congress.
The majority of prisoners come from
prison with a desire to bstain from
crime They meet with a cold reception

criminal associates This is a critical
roint in their lives. Unless the released
prisoner finds kind and sympathetic aid.

CARING FOR ET-CONTICTR.

There is simple and convincing logic
in the appeal which is made in our col
umnS this morning for aid in the work
Of caring for discharged prisoners. This
work undertaken by the Prison AssOc:a-
tiOn of New York, was earnestly COM
mended and its extension was urged by
the recent International Prison Congress
at Washington. 1t may not be the most
inviting form Of benevolent effort. but it
is so eminently desirable from both the
humanitarian and the civic point of
view that it is worthy of being pressed
upon the attention of public spirited citi-
zens who may be able TO contribute TO Its
greater promotion.
The appeal TO sympathy must be
strong There are few more pitiable OBJ
iects than the released convict, emerg-
ing from prison with an indelible blot up
on his record. TO begin life anew In world
which regards him with suspicion and
aversion No wonder if, finding every
mans hand against him. he turns his
hand against every man and becomes 4
modern IShmael. Yet there is reason for
believing that most such men. certainly
those who have suffered for first Offences
have a desire to abstain from crime and
To lead honest lives. Every instinct Of
humanity. of charity and of religion
should surely impel society 10 encourage
rather than TO repress that desire and
Ia give its pOsSesSOr n chance to rehabili-
tate himself There is no pleasure nor
profit in comprising the downfall of
human soul.
From the purely economic and utili-
tartan point Of view. also, il would seem
TO be desirable 10 do what can be done
for the rehabilitation Of such men. Every
one of them who persists in vice and be-
comes a confirmed criminal not only is
lost 10 profitable industry, but also be-
comes not incOnsiderable source Of ex-
pense to the state Instead of being
producer he becomes non-prOducing,
predatory and destructive consumer. who
costs the state direct amount for po-
lice. courts and prisons. and who prob
ably throws large share Of the ex-
pense of maintai lining his family upon the
community or the state
The purpose Of the Prison Association
is not 10 coddle and sentimentaliZe over
discharged cOnvicts, but in a practical
way 10 give them So far as possible
square deal in their aspirations for an
honest and useful life and 10 encourage
them 10 make good" II is announced
that n philanthropic friend has given
$4,000 toward permanent endowment
fund for the work on condition that an
equal sum he added by December
next. and that of this additional sum
more than $15!Do has already been Sc
cured II ought not to take many days
to secure the remaining $4,000 or less.
