CONDITION FULTON CAMP
NOT CHARACTERISTIC STATE

about useless cruelty in the Fulton
county convict camps is getting worse

ton continues, but in justice to the
state prison commission, and to the
general situation throughout the state
it is beginning to appear at the same
time more and more evident that con-
ditions in some of the Fulton camps
under the Donaldson regime emphat-
ically do not reflect general conditions
throughout the state.
If the evidence of the conyicts IS
true, a point which remains to be de-
cided, the Fulton guards have been
given free rein in the exercise O.
cruelty to the prisoners, and in some
instances have even been encouraged

place the Fulton camps literally on a
par with Russian prisons.

There are still others, for I have not

every day, and going out to selected
