Need of a Woman's Reformatory

Maine medical JOURNAL january, iSlo')
The Maine Prison Association is to
ask our legislature, this winter, to estab-
lish a State reformatory for women.
That we need such an institution is evil
dent to anyone who examines our social
conditions.
There are, in every town and city in
Maine, young women, many of whom
come from the country, who have fallen
into bad company and thereby drifted
into the class described by the court as
"Idle and disorderly persons" from
which condition the last step into life
of habitual vice is an almost certain one.
1t is the fault neither of our police nor
of our judges that no restraining hand
arrests those poor girls as they enter the
wide road which leads to mental, moral
and physical death.
OF what use Is it to bring them before
the courts when our state provides no
more reformative institution to which
girls over 16 years old can be legally
committed than tn county Jail or house
of correction.
Our judges frankly say that they can
not feel 1t right to sentence young
WuUu 10 . 10Y VI hoP 20 'oA y
for better life, to the contamination Of
such an institution, 80 the result is, that
many girls, who ought to be saved by
Institutional care and training, are left
adrift on our streets to spread moral
contagion.
Every Judge, every sheriff, every po-
lice officer In our state recognizes the
need of more efficient way of dealing
with delinquent women and the present
plan, as outlined by the Maine Prison
Association, of a group of cottages In
the country where, under guidance, the
girls can learn to sew, to do housework,
and to raise vegetables and flowers, in
short, to live busy, useful and happy
life, until they have outgrown their old
thoughts and habits, oommends itself as
wise one.
On the ground OF economy alone, such
an institution Is for the advantage OF Q
state, for, invariably, the victims of the
social disease come back upon the COM
muuity for support, while their degener-
ate children swell the long list OF unfor.
tunates to be found In our asylums.
Some of our leading medical societies
have already taken action to obtain q
Woman's Industrial Home and Reforma'
tory and others will doubtless follow In
calling our legislatures attention to the
imperative need of such an institution In
Maine.

ner ON Monday, Rev. Chester Gore Mil
