ATTORNEY FOR CONVICTED MEN

! IflSOH MlfrOr: Wuen Lne hon. u.
E. Vasaly, chairman Of the Board of
Control, last fall suggested the advis-
ability of the state providing all at
torney to look after the interests of
imprisoned men, he probably did not
realize that he was fathering an idea
which would at once be taken up and
applauded by the thoughtful and ac-
tive sociologists and criminologists
throughout the country; an idea that
has set in motion a movement in many
states which is almost sure to culmi-
nate in the passage of suitable laws
favoring the plan outlined by him, and
bring about a decided change in the
status and condition of mind of the
men confined in many prisons.
Only those, who have come in close
touch with the inmates of penal in
stitutions; who have a clear know
ledge and understanding Of their
needs, their hopes and their handicaps,
can fully realize how necessary it is
that they should have some one capa-
BILE Of giving them intelligent legal
advice and when the case warrants it,,
to present their claim or plea for free
dom to the proper tribunal.
| Most men sent to prison are men
of scant means. The large majority
in fact, enter these doors without a
cent to their name. If they had a
little money prior to getting into their
trouble they spent it in lawyers fees
or sent the remaining remnant to
their families. Many arc without
friends-some Of them, aas, are stran-
gers in strange land with no one to
visit them, no hand to stretch out
and offer sympathetic aid. No mat
ter how extenuating the circum-
stances surrounding their offense may
have bcen-even if they be entirely
innocent Of the crime for WHICH they
were convicted, they must set, in -si-
! lence and bide their time as best they
can, until their term has expired or
the parole body has had time to make
thorough investigation of the facts
from theusually meagre information
they have at their command.
| That these men Should have re-
course to capable attorneys ser
vices is beyond question. 1t is just
as essential as furnishing them with
council at the time CT their trial, and
it is indeed gratifying to note the
widespread approval the suggestion
has received in the influential papers
and particularly among those persons
interested in the betterment Of prison
conditions and the reformation of con-
victed men.
