Prison Warden's Novel Experiments

lands owned by the state around the
prison have never been used to any
great extent for farming
Warden Codding began work two
years ago. and the first thing he did
was to give the prisoners half an
hours liberty each day in the prison
yard. The men can do anything they
wish during that half hour They can
talk to each other and and the guard,
play ball, pitch horse shoes, play GRO
quet or a dozen other games.
The prisoners had been morose and
sullen, and there were % insane
prisoners In the hospital and a half
dozen tuberculosis patients. The plan
was adopted to see If the insanity and
tuberculosis could not be stopped Not
new patient has developed In IA
months. and there is not a single pris-
oner in the tuberculosis hospital at
this time.
THE farm does two things Of great
Importance" says Warden Codding.
THE first is that it gives the men a
new aspect of life as they are about
to leave the prison. The farm work
and a half hour recreation period have
reduced the ordinary prison vices 70
per cent. The plan of working the
men on the farm has not been going
long enough to make any figures, but
| believe that there vii! be a less
percentage of men returned to prison
for second terms now than under the
old plan of keeping them confined all
the time"
