Prison Reform in Manila.

The average man would hardlS
think of going to the Philippines tl
look for an advanced program OF
prison reform, and yet there Is now
ia operation at Bilibid prison, Ma
Mia. a system of promotions that
might be copied with advantage In
some Of our own penal institutions.
There sixteen guards control 3,0Oo
prisoners, because, as one OF the Of
ficials expresses it, there is moral
force at work stronger than armed
guards" This moral force is evoked
by definite and rational system,
which is thus decribed:
There are three divisions OF the
prisoners, according to conduct. The
newcomer goes into the third or low
est class. If in his first six months
he obtains a rank of so per cent he
moves into the second class, and III
in six months more he attains 90
per cent he goes to the first class,
with special privileges, making him
almost free men in his little COM
munity He is marked daily by each
one under whose supervision he
comes, and these marks are turned
over to- an office ACCOUNTANT, who
does not know the prisoner.
That the system of promotions,
has justified itself is shown by the
fact that since it's introduction the
numbers have changed from so PEI
cent in the third class to over 90
per cent in the first Charges of in
fraction of prison rules are inyesti-
gated by special court, and the
prisoner has every opportunity to
present his defense.
Two of the strongest moral forces
in the human heart are emulation
and ambition. This system of pro-
motions simply takes advantage Of
these natural forces. 1t makes ap-
peal to mans sporting instinct to
run the race and to excel 1t opens
the door Of hope Here is one con-.
crete result:
OF few prisons can 1t be said that
a discharge is a letter Of recon
mendation, but the man released
from Bilibid does not hesitate, in APP
plying for work, to state where he
learned his trade, and seldom, If
ever, is he refused a job on that ac-
count.
Can any good thing come out of
Nazareth" Is Manila to teach US
how to treat our prisoners?
