Told Warden He'd Run Away But

Said He'd Be Willing
To Try.
SYSTEM STARTED THEN
Famous Honor Method Of Fort Madi-
sons Prison Boss Had Its In
ception With This One
Man.

So much has been said and written
about Warden Sanders and his hon
or system of dealing with the prison
ers in the penitentiary at Fort Madf-
son and the question nearly always
comes to ones mind as to how he got
courage to try the hrst prisoner out
side the walls. 1t came about this
way: One day he was talking to a
prisoner in the hospital; a man with
a bad record.
He said: What would you do,
James, If 1 gave you job outside
the walls?"
I'D run like hell, warden"
This was a pretty >discouraging re.
ply 70 a man who had a theory to
work out At the end OF the week.
after the prisoner had left the hospit-
al, he asked to speak to the warden,
and said:
Warden, i've been thinking over
the answer gave you few days ago.
OF course know you didn't mean to
give me Job outside, but want TO
tell you now that If you trusted me
enough to give me an outside job
without guard, Ia cut of my right
hand before I'd do you dirt and try
to run away"
This was the first prisoner given a
job outside. One at time Warden
Sanders picked his men, until this
summer two hundred men work out
side the walls every day with a few
unarmed guards. They are cultivat-
ing 700 acres OF land several miles
from the prison; beside doing other
work.
