Dr. Houghton's Experience

Dr. H0ughton's Experience "A few year sago Dr. Houghton, pastor of the Little Church Around the Corner. in New York, came to Birmingham He is deeply interested in prison reform, and he went carefully into the system here. told him our convict law was the best in America, and after he made a care ful study of the whole situation pr. Houghton agreed with me. ] based my statement upon this fact. In Sing Sing. where they have hundreds of prisoners. they are not made to work. At meal time they are marched to the dining room. In the afternoon they are allowed to drill loclkstep about the prison yard. The re- suit is that statistics show that vast number of the men return to prison soon after leaving They have no money, no friends. 1 won't employ them, neither will anyone else. They must steal or rob to live. They eventually get back into Sing Sing.
 "The whole situation is different in this state The state allows every man to earn some extra money. For instance, we have men at Flat Top that own real real estate in this district from their say ings there. When man leaves sthe prison he has some little money saved up. When he leaves, rather than having to steal 10 live, he has money and Is q first class coal digger. When convict leaves Flat Top after serving his time he has only to walk 15 minutes to some of the other mines and get good job. We care not whether he is a convict or not If he is a good coal digger he may get free job. 1t is not perilous for them t1 be confined al some of the mines. At Flat Top they stand erect and mine coal and some of them finish their work by noon. All after time is their own. They have spacious halls to frolic in and they are well satisfied as general thing. That is the prison side of the question.
 '"As to working them on the roads. they might as well be in Sing Sing. For when a man works his time out on the roads, he has no occupation and must steal to get bread in some cases. The man, therefore, becomes a confirmed felon and lands back in prison The road work is all right but it occurs to me that the state could well afford to lease the prs- oners, earn revenue from them and then build roads, for in the latter case the state would be earning soemthing. rem dering the state service as well as pro- viding for the convict to earn liveli- hood when his time is up.
