Sunday Courier-J ournal of October

called to the subject of an article in
that paper urging the probe into the

closing you copy of that article.
The events narrated in the article
show very plainly how easy it is to
direct the finger of suspicion at men
once convicted of crime, who happen
to be in the vicinity where a new
crime is committed.
The article also illustrates the prac-
tical impossfbility of having direct
supervision over convict while in
road work, as we'll as the impossible
ity of preventing the evils of gamb-
ling among men so quartered and so
scattered.
As long as cOnvicts are confined
within the walls of the state reform
atory, it is possible for the watchful
eyes of the prison warden, prison
physician and prison chaplain to
study each individual convict, to

] He is entrusted to the custodianshiI
of guards who know rarely anything
of modern penology, who have never
studied OF thought of the psychology
of crime or the graduation that the
convict passes through from criminal
| ity to repentance and parole.
In road camps, the housing and
sanitary condition of such camps are
necessarily bad, and cannot be favor
ably compared with similar conven-
fences of an established refornIatory
The visit of the physician to the camp
is occasional and he is only called in
when convict is i'll. The chaplain
sees him rarely. if at all, in the road
camps. No provision is made, nor is
it practical to make any for relgi-
Gus instructions and services in road
camps.
In the road camps. the men are
taken from a central point of resi-
dence and labor, away from the pris-
on where system and order are being
taught, away from the night school
where educational instruction Is Civ

In the road camps, the convicts lose
the personal contact with the chap

the most >depraved type Of immoral

the convict camp any and all crimesl
that are committed near 1t.
The exposure Of the convict to thei
idle gaze of al who pass him on thcl
read. exposes him TO needless humil- +,
iation and the effect of it is to eradu-

As one who has had ten years eX-I
