In every county every grand jury has under con- sideration cases where individuals are making every effort to break into the penitentiary, for there they are better housed, better clad, in better health and more comfort able generally than at liberty; and many of them have attained their object. Having served term it is short time before they return to the penitentiary under another sentence. Pleading a former con- viction carries no terrors because it assures them a longer period of comfortable living at the expense of the state. (There is recalled by the writer one man who was held to three successive grand juries before he succeeded in breaking into the peni- tentiary-the first two ignored indictment because he had been in jail number of months awaiting a grand jury. In each case it was but avery short time before he was in jail again under another charge; and when he was convicted aud sentenced he was as happy as 1 though he had been made a val uable present.)
