Il came out OF Auburn blazing
with wrath against every SNUG
and respectable member OF soci-
ETY. whose ignorance and indiffcY-
ence were responsible for the bru-
tai and imbecile system.
TT was not that the prison was
badly managed; the management
OF Auburn Prison has been tradi-
tionally efficient. My quarrel was
and is with the whole vicious the.
DRY underlying the system.
The main counts should draw
on behalf OF the prisoner against
the State are as follows:
The constant confinement for
many hours Of the day, and some.
times for even whole days at a
time. in small. unhealthy cells
utterly unfit for human llabita.
ton. where physical degeneration
is ineyitable-and mental and
moral as we'll. They are locked
in all day Sunday except for
couple Of hours. and all day long

The vice which naturally re.
suits from the constant confine.
ment. Shut in all day Sunday. the
cells close and miserably cold in
Winter. close and sitting in Sum-
mer. with the stencil from hun.
dreds Of buckets poisoning the at
mosphere. men so craved relief
from the intoJerable conditions
that they turned TO the use of
drugs.
THE ill-organized and ineffi.
Gent system Of labor. which lacks
any incentive toward honest,
steady work. Men are assigned
jobs entirely regardless of pref.
erence or capacity.
1.-THE enforcement Of silence
does not hinder conspiracy and
wickedness-it Is the pleasant
word Of hope and encouragement
that is stopped.
Added to the terrible silence,
the no less terrible monotony.
In prison so few things happen.
Day after day, week after week,
month after month. year after
year, the same grinding, dreary,
deadly monotony. Cell-b!ock, buck
