DOVER JAIL AND A JAIL FARM,

DOVER JAIL AND A JAIL FAhMs
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir:-Kent county has just seen
the close of a remarkable piece OF
work. Mr. Thomas e. Kirby. with Mr..
W. y. AIaloney, as a very efficient
deputy sheriff has been in charge Of
the Dover Jail His two years Of Office
have been generally well known be-
eause OF his interest in the prisoners,
but the very fact that there have
been so many Improvements directly
within the jail has blinded some OF
us to the greater importance-ther real
end OF Mr.. Kirby's experiment in
working the prisoners. It has been
the work of a refoTmer, a student OF
human nature. and, at the same time
that OF a keen business man, looking
out for the ultimate good Of the State.
When Mr.. Kirby took charge of the
Jail 1t was considered necessary 10
shut the prisoners in stone build
ing, very poorly lighted and ventila-
ted, and barely fitted with the necessi-
ties for existence, wasting a splendid
amount of energy, and making the
taxpayers support them In this vicious
fdleness. Kent also had the additional
expense of $4,000 for the prisoners
sentenced TO New Castle Workhouss
during the two years, where. under a
supervised system OF work, they not
only prove to be self-suppOrtng, bu
even earn an income for that county
Mr.. Kirby's experiment has proved
without a doubt that it is possible tC
have the jails Of the two lower coun.
ties self-supporting TO the joint good
Of the counties and the prisoners.
The first question that naturally
arises is. But can these men be trust
ed to work without bars or guardsY
To this, the experience OF the past two
years gives an emphatic "Yesl" Send
ing out as many as twenty-one mel
in a day, some OF whom have gone as
far as twenty-four miles to work fol
the farmers of Kent county, the jai
lost but one man in the two years
That men Of all grades, in all condi
tions, can be trusted under an homo
system stands today as a well proved
fact. And the accompanying fact tina
