HORRORS OF
PRISON LIFE


The following letter from an
ex-convict to the Tennessean and
American explains how the state
prison is being run under Hoop
er's administration.
Editor Tennessean and Ameri-
can:
After serving sentence OF
two gears in the Tennessee main
prison, | was released Wednes-
day morning and | desire to say
few words in regard to the
treatment which the convicts re-
ceive from the administration.
NV time expired early Wednes-
day morning, and as | was wait
ing for the warden to release me
| happened to go the bull pen,
and there | saw seven men
brutally dashed for failure to per-
form their tasks. The pleas for
mercy from the poor convicts
were unheeded, and each lash of
the heavy leather brought blood
and cut large and deep gashes in
the flesh.
1t has been my observation
that a man was whipped for the
slightest ATTRACTION of the prison
rules, and the animal instinat OF
the guards compels them to trail
convict and to take them to
the 'bull pen" for almost no
cause at all. If one guard can
not whip hard enough, a stronger
and more brutal one is given the
pleasure of whipping the next
prisoner.
The food at the prison is not
fit for a dog to eat. | have been
in the hospital during the past
few weeks, and the food which
was given to us was the scraps
which were left from the meals
of the guards at the meal before.
The prisoners are nearly starved,
and unless they are fortunate
enough to have friends on the
outside to furnish eatible food,
they suffer greatly from lack of
food.
The inmates of the prison are
nearly naked, and unless the
prisoner pays a certain sum OF
money for each article of cloth
ing, he does not receive the
clothing which is his by right.
The state is supposed to provide
the necessities of life to those de-
prived of liberty and means of
support, but the entire institu
ton is run by petty graft.
Wednesday morning when |
was released ! was given S5.O5
and a suit of clothes. | was
forced to spend $1.15 of this
amount for other articles of
clothing which should have been
given without cost.
The white men in the prison
get a raw deal from the admins
tration. The negroes practically
run the prison, with the excep-
ton of a few white convicts who
have political pull with the state
administration. Governor Hoop
er said in a speech at the prison
about q voor auo that ha would
