This institution is. by no stretch of the 1 by no begging process, has no member ship, and is not costing the city of Bir- mingham one cent extra Soon the home expects to be entirely self-supporting and may even earn a sur plus, so that when d woman leaves It's shelter she may be given little money to assist her in gaining her self-respect. The home is defaced by no signs or rules and there is no weapon on the place. So far no one has tried to escape; in fact several, even after serving their terms desire to remain or come back to await something better Many have found jobs and are keeping them.
 The home does not expect to do mir acles: 1t claims no great moral uplift; but it is a decent environment and does tend to make better women of these un- fortunate victims of the social evil and the rotten system under which we live At least it is a great step in advance of the present guard house.
 A daily report of the home is made to Mrs. Searight in the city hall. at the welfare office which fully covers the work of the home. The reports read as follows:
 Menu. .....-...................
 Physical Condition. n........................
 Work Done in the Home.
 Work Best Fitted to Persons.
 Remarks. .........................
 This is signed by the matron and gives a very definite idea of the condition of the inmates.
 It is probable the detention home in Birmingham is the only 'jaiP' in the state that has tried to consider prisoners as human beings. The work of Dr. Oates is especially to be commended. but even with this knowledge there is still so much to he done.
 The detention home is not ideal, by any means but the idea is ideal and prac- tfcal It demonstrates the possibility of having an honor system in Alabama, and in time even the home may become all that could be desired
 Remember. that in Birmingham, at least. if a woman is arrested and sen- tenced she is not subject to the awful att mosphere of a Jail, for the best jail known is all too bad.
