DEPLORES CONDITIONS
IN THE PRISON CAMPS
Delegate Sproul Says Men Serving
jail Sentence Are Chained
to Diseased Conyicts.

In referring to the prison reform
bill, of which his co-patrons are Dele
gates Willis and Taylor, Delegate
Sproul says the conditions in the pris-
on camps of the state are deplorable.
In an interview with The Virginian
Mr.. Sproul said:
Men serving ordinary Jail SEN
fences are chained with the gang.
sleeping thus at night, In close con-
tact with many afflicted with conta-
gious, loathsome disease, having to
drink out of the same common drink
ing cup. The state is thus responsible
not only for the wrong done to these
unfortunates forced into contracting
diseases that bring lifelong misery.
but is also responsible for the spread
of the disease when these afflicted
men go back into civil life.
THE state Is trying to make capt.
tai out of these convicts instead of
trying to make them better men. If
convict does all the work required
of him by the state, with the scant
he receives, that man is of no use to
himself nor to the state by the end
of five or six years. He is broken and
Il physical wreck, without the stamina
to make a fight for moral improve
ment
" II used to think the convicts were
better off In the camps than confined
at the -penitentiary. But since the
conditions at the camps have come
TO my personal knowledge have
changed my mind We have a SPLEEN
did superintendent of prisons, and the
institution is maintained clean. and l
am now convinced 1t would be better
for the convict to remain there until
conditions are improved In the
comps"
The bill is modelled after the North
Carolina prison reform bill, which is
regarded as a long step in advance
over the horrors of previous North
Carolina prison history.
The bill provides that the sanitation
