Wants Lonrer Road to Pen

Aberdeen-In the opinion OF Judge
Mccoy of the state supreme court, the
state should provide some intermedi-
ate penal institution, between the
state penitentiary and the reform
school, where most first offenders
should be sent.
In an address on Criminal Punish
ment," at the legislative banquet at
Aberdeen, Judge Mccoy stated that
his experience on the bench as a
state circuit judge and later as a
member of the state supreme court.
had convinced him that in most in
stances, the man who was convicted
for a criminal offense the first time
was not bad at heart. But, he stated,
the county Jail where the criminal
usually spends several months be-
tween his arrest and his convict on,
and the state ~penitentiary, are both
prolific schools for crime, and 1t Is
rarely the case that a criminal does
not not emerge from the pen Tertiary
worse than when he entered.
Judge Mccoy thinks that the state
legislature should provide for a re-
formatory where men convicted for
the first time may be given a chance
to redeem themselves without comma
in contact with the elder and hard
ened criminals who have been sent to
prison for a second or more frequent
crimes.
