PRISONS AND PRISONERS


gence Of opinion than that of prison
life and prison management; and
this divergence Of opinion is not
only inevitable, but quite natural.
/ may add, too, that it is impossible
to conceive more difficult task than
tn at of successfully managing a
prison.
I mean successful in the sense that
the life of its inmates does not tend
to decentralization, but rather that its
decipline is restraining and reforma-
tive.
Prisons at their best are unnatural
institutions; a. d though unfortu-
nately they appear to be necessary
at the present time, it is easy to be-
ieve that in the near future most of
them will disappear. There is,
said Sam Slick, "a great deal of hui
man nature in a man." There is,
and human nature not only makes it
certain that bad men will be worse
by the infiction of cruelty, but also
makes it certain that idle rogues
will not be brought to honest and in
dustrious ways by short periods of
dull monotony. Human nature is
many-sided-it has as many facets
as a well-cut diamond, and it is this
many-sidedness that makes it impos-
sible to establish satisfactory pris-
on discipline.
The fact that a number of men are
detained and shielded from the.
temptation to commit certain offenses
to which they are prone. renders it
the more certain that many of them
will again commit those offenses
when restored to liberty; with liberty
comes opportunity, temptation and
fall, for moral strength can not grow
in the absence of temptation. Rough
~, the men and women who inhabit
our prisons may be classed under
five heads: First, the feeble minded;
second, the physical weakling: third.
the yagrant; fourth, the casual
offender; fifth, the habitual offender.
| believe that all our prisoners can
be placed in one or more Of these
divisions, though, Of course, there
will be variations. Should this be
approximately the case, it is certain
that a tremendous difficulty arises
when the discipline and routine of
any one prison, however, well con-
Quoted, is made to serve for the
whole of the classes.
Lest it be thought that am salts
fed with prisons as they are at the
present, l will point out the reforms
which | consider necessary in our
penal system and our prison admin
istration.
l. There is too much indiscrimi-
nate and unnecessary gaoling; pris-
ons should be the last resource. not.
as too frequently happens, the first.
In England and Wales alone 1OO,-
600 persons are committed to prison
every year because they cannot
promptly pay fines that have been
imposed for minor offenses.
hold that every offender fined,
if she or he possesses settled home,
should be allowed adequate time to
pay the fine. Probably this would
keep 10000 first offenders out of
prison every year, with correspond
ing reduction in the number of Sec
ond offenders in the following years.
What folly can equal the plan of
bundling a decent man or youth
into the prison van and putting all
the machinery of prison into opera
ton because he cannot pay forthwith
a few shillings?
2. The old law Of restitution and
reparation must be revived. The
First Offenders Act, now superceded|
by the Probation Act, was not an

Waterville Is to
Have Ball Team

Waterville is not to be left behind
when it comes to ball team and ar
pangements are now being made for
the Immediate organization. The first
game will be played on next Wednes-
day afternoon against, Colby at $50
O'Clock. The players for this team will
be taken chiefly from this city and
Fairfield, although later the positions
may be strengthened. Fairfield has
decided not to enter a team in the field
this summer and practically all the
support will be centered in Water
vile team.
The team picked for the first prae
tice game next Wednesday will be
made up of good ball players. La
brack will do the catching and if ar
engagements can be made Allie Bushey,
the former New England League play
er. will be in the box. McDonough will
play first. Blair second. George Wilson
of Bowdoin, third, Higgins, short,
Gregory. left field. Ralph Good, right
field. and Baggy Allen center field.
This should make strong aggregation
and one that should make Colby hustle
| to win.

The officers of the association desire
il 10 be known that everyone Is cor

every one who comes will receive :
cordial welcome and be shown every
courtesy possible. Come and bring
some on with you.
Recent reports q the membership
campaign show that the membership
of the association 1T present stands
above five hundred. The fact that
membership privileges will be given
TO fnen and boys over 16 years of
age makes the building OF great use
to the citizens OF Waterville. The
original plan when the building was
made possible was that only en-
ployes of the Maina Central could be-
come members. The fact thar the
boys and men of the city need such
building as We nave now induced
the Maine Central officials and en-
ployes to invite the citizens of Wa
terville To become members All the
privileges of the Association are for
Wateryille men AMI young men for
the payment of the membership fee.
To date great use has been made of
the building and the association de-
sircs to have the boys and men feel
that they will be welcomed into the
membership Of the Association.
