this letter is printed with the per-

Miss a. b. Byrd, Extension Secretary,
Colorado Prison Association,
Greeley, Colo.
Dear Miss Byrd; My attention
has been called to the work of the
Colorado Prison association, and
knowing that you are devoting your
time to this work, and believing that
a little note to assure you that your
efforts are appreciated by some OF
the thoughtful ones of the state
might at least serve as a stimulus,
an encouragement, | take the liberty
to write you.
I think that the work of the asso-
citation and the motives prompting
such work is little understood by the
people at large.
Students of criminology have been
forced to recognize that there are in
every community two classes of men
and women who sooner or later find
themselves in the criminal court
charged with the commission of a

more or less grievous crime.
There is the class who have been
denied that primary right of every
child-to be well born. Their inher-
itance is a tainted moral nature,
their early environment an atmos-
phere OF crime, their only education
the enforcement of the belief that
they are justified in waging war
against society.
Crimlnologists have, believe
about come to think that this class
are constitutional criminals and that
little can be done to effect in them
any permanent reform.
But there Is another and very large
class of law-breakers who, from
weakness OF character, carelessness
OF the first steps in the path that
leads TO crime, habits of intemper-
once which weaken the power of NOR
nj resistance to temptation, improper
I views of the reciprocal rights of
members OF society, real ignorance
OF the consequences of their acts, and
/ indeed, from many causes, none of
which indicate an entirely deprav-
ed condition of mind, make up large
| part Of the inmates of our prisons.
OF those who do not find their way
/ into the penal institutions of the
state there is Il class who, not intel
ligent enough to reason upon approx
innate cause and effect. have an over
| flowing abundance of sympathy for
every. one in trouble. From this
class come those misguided creatures,
who, if a man is charged with an es-
pecially heinous crime, rush to the
jail with flowers, cake and tears to
assure him of their sympathy"
This conduct tends to raise the
| prisoner, in his own mind and that
of Il weak class in the community. TO
the position OF a hero; he pities him
self because he is led to believe that
respectable people really sympathize
with him and condone his offense.
Another body Of people, and this
class, If ! am right IN my conception
OF your work, the Prison association
represents. fully realize that the pris-
oner II guilty of the crime has merit
ed punishment, and they are not
seeking to prevent it's inflictiou.
| However, while condemning the
