the treatment Of prisoners.
Causes Of Revolt
The revolt sprung from several
causes. Two hundred prisoners are
contract laborers, and receive for each
days work. direct from the company
which employs them overtime money
ranging from so to 10 cents each. The
prison operates q binder twine fac
tory, and the warden has paid the
100 employed there an average Of 10
cents a day for work in excess Of the
days task. This discrimination is the
chief grievance of the conTcts.
There were many minor causes for
the revolt. The refusal of the prison
authorities 10 permit the prisoners TO
play baseball was one of them. The
belief on the part OF the prisoners
that they were not being properly
fed. was another.
The revolt has been quefled, at
least temporarily. With the state mill

with terrible punishment being IN

Or was their revolt the logical out

Few will believe that the trouble
grew out of the fact that Michigan
convicts are more desperate than the
convicts OF other states. The blame
for the present rather disgraceful
state of affairs must be placed at the
feet of the prison authorities.
For years politics, graft and con
tract labor have served to give Jack
son prison a national notoriety. Less
than five years ago a warden was dis

in the Detroit house of correction.
One of the members of the board of
