AUBURN, N. Y, Jan. Warden
Osborne Of Sing Sing has made pub
lie interesting statistics relating to
reforms he has instituted in that pris'
on.
In December, 1914, in which month
the Prisoners Court, composed OF
convicts, was elected by the entire
population Of the prison, tried 81
cases OF otfenses against discipline.
IN % the defendants were found
guilty and in not guilty. Three
cases were dismissed.
There were nine appeals to the su.
preme court of the prison, which con.
sists of the Warden, the Principal
Keeper and the Chairman OF the Col.
den Rule Brotherhood, the prisoners
own organization. Either side may
take an appeal and in case of an ac.
quittal the complainant may demand
q retrial.
OF the nine appeals six judgments
were affirmed, one reversed and two
are pending. Tho "a cases tried were
nearly all for minor offenses such as
smoking at prohibited hours, fighting
profanity. etc. OF the complaints Is
were made by keepers and IS by coli.
victs.
In December, 1913, when the pris'
oners had much less to say about
their. trials. there were lit offenses.
OF this number the dispositions were:
Fourteen men sent to the Cooler
or punishment cell, now abolished;
thirty-seven fined by loss of commu'
tation of sentence. Sentence was
dismissed In the remaining cases.
The court has proved extremely
popular in Sing Sing. Not only do
