of this community, to recommend to
this court that no sentence be i'm
posed which would in any way invol-
We a jail sentence at this time, but
should these parties violate the law
hereafter there could be no reasons
urged in their behalf.
Il belive were the citizens of this
county familiar with the present Jail
and the conditions of the same, even
those who insist upon a most rigid
enforcement of the law being impos-
ed would hesitate in cases of this
kind under existing conditions in
asking the court to do otherwise or
even suggest that any man, however
guilty he might be of any offense
under our law, should be compelled
to serve a sentence in the present
county jail. | deem it a humanitar
ian act upon my part to make this
recommendation, and I trust that the
court knowing as he does that the
same conditions to which | have re-
ferred are in actual existence, it
would be an humanitarian act upon
his part to so sentence them.
Aim OF the Law.
81 trust that the time is not far
removed when we will have a more
sanitary place in which even GRIMM
ais of the hardened class can be held.
AS the prosecuting attorney of this
county, l feel it my duty to make
this recommendation and am willing
to assume any responsibility, if any,
in the premises. The subject, as /
take it, not only of all the county Of
ficers, but of my office, as well, is to
suppress these violations rather than
unnecessarily punish the offenders,
and if this result can be obtained,
we have accomplished the intent of
the law.
THE tendency of modern times so |
far as the penal Institutes of this
state are concerned, Is toward the ac-
complishment rather than to the pun
ishment and to that end, ! deem it |
my duty to strive, but beyond that |
| do not think the community at
large desires their officers to go.
There is no reformation in degrade
ton, no object to be gained by in
fiicting unjust punishment, and to
this end respectfully ask that the
I recommendation l have made be TAX
en- into consideration by the court, in
the passing of sentence. And / re-
commend that the length of time of
those now in jail be taken into con-
sideration by your honor, and that it
!e deemed Il nitigat y toward the
fine the court desires to impose.
further ask these recommendations
be made a Lart of thD record of this
court"
