but they put on the gloves In the
afternoon and determined which was
the better man. Only in very rare
instances was punishment imposed
that resulted in the forfeiture OF time
by the prisoner and then only for very
grave offences.
Conditions in Sing Sing changed i'm
mediately. A spirit Of harmony at
once prevailed and the output Of
the industries increased remarkably.
There were practically no more pun
ishments. for there was 10 need OF
any.
The inmates organized the Golden
Rule Brotherhood with the purpose In
view Of aiding the warden In his ex-
pertinent. for II was then only an ex-
pertinent, Warden McCormick's ex-
pertinent was made a success.
A few weeks after Warden McCor-
mick left Thomas Mott Osborne took
up the work at Sing Sing. A short
while later a committee OF the Golden
Rule Brotherhood petitioned him to
abrogate or modify certain Of the
rules regulating the discipline Of the
institution which were then effective,
Thirteen out OF fifteen OF these re-
quests were granted. As a result the
inmate Is now In a position to keep in
touch with his friends and with the
outside world and can give proper at
tention to matters which require ad-
Justment.

many Of the State prisons and reform

For some time prior to Mr.. McCor-
mick's acceptance OF the position Of
aeent n warden OF sing sing that
institution had been in a state OF
chaos. There had been strikes. fires,
riots ana escapes and everything was
in . dcnoralized condition. The out

shown a marked decrease instead OF
the increase that could have been very
reasonably expected under efficient
and businesslike management.
This state of chaos and demoraliza
ton was due chiefly 10 the fact that
Mr.. McCormick's immediate predeces-
sor had deemed 1t eXpedient, as a
means Of discipline, to subject the
prisoner tn treatment which animated
him with IA desire to retaliate and with

The following comparison Of conditions prevalent in Sing Sing
prison prior to the advent of Thomas Mott Osborne with the con-
ditions that now obtain there is made by q man who has been very
closely associated with the actual workings Of the New York State
Prison Department for the last five years. and who dsring that time
has studied the various systems Of administration in vogue in Sing
Sing prison, which has been called the worst and most notorious insti-
tuition of its kind in the world: in Great Meadow prison. the honor"
prison of the State, and in Clinton prison. the Siberia of the United
States.
