'JAILS ARE ONLY FACTORIES
FOR BREEDING CRIME" SAYS
THIS HUSTLING POLICE CHIEF

BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 81
Jaifs are only crime factories.
1t is only folly to try to cure a
drunkard or to reform some petty
offender by putting him In prison.
These are a few of the con-
clusions reached by Chief OF Po-
lice August Vollmer of Berkeley.
"Our Jail system is all wrong.
1t is a poor plan to pen man
convicted of some minor offense
up in dirty hole where under
the natural course of events he
can only become worse. To incar-
cerate a drunkard with the hope
of curing him is ridiculous. The
confinement, with no occupation,
only increases his craving for
drink, and his physical condition,
instead of improving, becomes
worse.
"The municipal farm is the
place for these men-a place
where they can work aud enjoy
the benefits OF the pure, fresh air.
1t would be the making Of many
a man and by cutting down your
jail expenses, and by allowing the
men to raise most of everything
they eat, it would be possible to
pay them, say so cents day,
which could go to their families,
or II they have no families, be
kept for them as little nest-egg
when they are liberated.
Chief Vollmer is one of the
most popular police chiefs in Cali

cific coast. He is fine, robust
