How the Jail Affects the
Prisoner Is a Prime
Factor

And how the prisoner himself
is affected by being jailed by the
present method of falling is a
prime factor in the solution of
the prison problem; it is so if
we are to understand by the
prison problem the question how
a convict can be so dealt with
as best to correct his criminal
quality of character Any aim
and object less radical than that
is unworthy of any civilization,
least of all of a Christian civil
ization.
The leading article in the Oc-
tober issue of the prison maya
zine just mentioned is entitled
"The Final Aim of Punishment
Is to Instruct and Direct" and
the first clause of the article
reads: Punishment rightly in
terpreted involves the idea of
saving or reformation" The
writer's way of treating the sub
ject implies that his own expert
ence as a prisoner does not per-
NIT of his feeling that reforma-
ton is the natural result of
prison discipline as at present
maintained.
He writes intelligently and dis
passionately. 1t would appear
that his presentation of the sit
uation should be taken at its
face value. If it is claimed that
from the nature of the case his
estimate must be prejudicial
estimate, perhaps so, but not
more so than the contrasting
estimate of a nonconvict is a
prejudicial estimate.
1t must be remembered that
among our convicts there are
thousands of people whose GRIM
inality is not of such a character
as to destroy their power of in
diligently estimating the mat

THERE is readable little
i monthly magazine published
in the federal prison at Atlanta,
Ga. From some unknown friend
incarcerated there copies of it
have for some time been coming
to me. The articles are not only
well put together, but contain
much that is interesting and also
instructive to those out of jail,
as well as those in.
Their special excellence Is that
they give the prisoners point of
view, and their point of view is
liable to be as nearly correct and
valuable as that of people who
have never been convicts-more
accurate, probably, and more
valuable-for when they write
about prison life, its effects. its
justices and injustices, they
know what they are writing
about, and that is something of
which others can have only a
borrowed or theoretical knowl-
edge.
If some one sticks pin into
me I know better than he how
it feels and how | am physically
affected by it.
And when, instead of being
matter of pin pricking, it rs a
matter of punishment by impris-
onment, the most important
thing to know is still how the
convict is affected by it, and
that is something that the con-
yict himself can speak and write
about more appreciatively and
intelligently than any one out
side of jail or than the prison
keeDers on the inside.

ter or of honestly stating it, and
it is due to ourselves as well as
to them to lay great stress on
the way in which they repre-
sent it.
However it may be with some
penal institutions, the probable
consensus of opinion, gathered
from prison experience, is that .
Jail is a very doubtful school to
which to send a man with a view
to his salvation or reformation.
If that is so, it is the jails
themselves that need in the first
instance to be saved and re-
formed. 1t is that point upon
which the regards of the public
are just at this time rather un-
usually concentrated.

Osborne Got an Inside View
of Conditions at
Auburn

To shed some light upon that
point has been the object of Mr..
T. M. Osborne in voluntarily
sentencing himself to a weeks
imprisonment at Auburn.
He was in pursuit of what we
have just called an inside view Of
prison conditions, the same view
as the one gained by the ordi-
nary convict.
SO far as he has yet published
his conclusions, his experience in
jail would seem to bear out the
testimony given by those who
have been sentenced in the ordi-
nary way, but whose testimony
has been discounted because
they received their sentence
from the court.
One very definite statement
which he has made as result OF
what he saw and underwent at
Auburn appears to touch the
sensitive nerve of the entire mat
ter, namely, From the first mo-
ment that man arrives in prison
he is made to realize that he is
no longer an individual human
being"
Now, if that is a fair state
ment-and it is certainly borne
out both by revelations of con-
victs and by official investiga-
tons made by the governors
comnissioner-some very de-
structive as well as constructive
work ought to be done, and done
without unnecessary delay.
