OSBORNE.
Copyright. 1915. by DR.. Frank Crane,

Since Thomas Mott Osborne has been
warden of Sing Sing prison some have
praised and some have condemned him.
Let us see the gist of the matter.
There are two ideas as to prisons.
One is that prisoners having offended
against society should be punished, hu-
inflated, hurt and crushed. So they
are to be paid for the crimes they
have committed.
This notion is some 5000 years old
Under it men have been starved in
dungeons. mutilated in torture cham
bers. and subjected to every refine
nent of cruelty.
Roman and medieval cells witnessed
horrors outdoing Orcagnas hell. British
prison ships and French galleys OF a
hundred years ago were inconceivably
human.
Even these days have heard wardens
say that penltenttarleS are for punish
ment, not reform, and for this reason
the inmates are treated as brutes.
1t is all a development of the idea
that fear, pain and terror cure crime
Under this system Sing Sing and
other prisons have been run for years
The result has invariably been that
men have come out of these inStitu-
tions worse than they went in. Crimi-
nails were hardened. and those who
entered only partly criminal came out
wholly SO.
The criminal class has been solidified
perpetuated and nourished by peni-
tentiaries.
The opposite idea is that criminals
are cured, and society therefore bene-
fitted, by building them up and not by
crushing them down.
The fallen man is to be led to respect
himself. to realize the good in him.
self; he is to learn useful crafts and
how to govern himself. He is not tG
have his spirit broken, his will weak
ened; he is not to be terrorized by
force, and reduced to a covering, hat.
ing, vengeance seeking creature By
brutality.
This latter theory is Osborne's.
| knowing that men fall into crimes
| because of lack of self-respect, he |:
trying to increase their self-respect.
Knowing that many inmates are ir

| is trying to make men of them.
The result is that prisoners in Sine
| Sing now do twice as much as worl
as they used to. that discipline is fal
| better, and that they take care o,
| themselves, instead of requiring many
guards with loaded guns to take care

That anybody can criticise this pro.
gram shows that there are mossbacl
minds still among US. That there are
those who ridicule the new regime

coddling burglars, feeding murderers
ice cream and the like. shows that the
influence of centuries of inhumanity
still persists.
