A MODEL PRISON.

During the meeting Of the
state Press association at Meal.
ester last week, the editors were
the guests of Warden Switzer of
the state penitentiary for several
hours. Now don't misunderstood
us-they were not sent over the
road for some high crime-it
was a purely voluntary visit on
the part Of the scribcs there is
olly one alleged Journalist among
the inmates of the prison and it
is suspected that he slipped in by
mistake. OF course we re not
arguing that more of them don t
deserve a place inside the walls,
but that 5 another story.
What we started out to say is
that if all the people Of Oklaho-
ma could have seen what the
editors saw they would have am
other reason to be Proud Of our
great state and it's institutions.
While penitentiary may not be
regarded as a matter to provoke
pride, yet the fact is that it is
necessary institution and it should
be gratifying to the people Of
Oklahoma to know that they have
state prison which is 50 well
managed and which meets all the
most modern requirements of
such institutions. In the con
strucion Of the prison and in the
methods of handling the convicts,
antiquatcd ideas have been en-
tirely abandoned by Oklahoma,
the most advanced principles
of penology being employed |
throughout the institution,

pearance than the average oris-
ON, equipped with all the essen
tials for the physical, mental and
moral welfare of the inmates, the
Oklahoma state penitentiary not
only protects society from the
dangers presented by the hope
lessly criminal but it affords
every opportunity for making
better men and women out of
those who have gone wrong. The
absence of stripes upon the con
yicts is one OF the first things
that impresses the visitors; the
prisoners are dressed as they
would be in normal life, accord.
ing to the character of their en-
ployment The entire system of
discipline is designed to foster
the self-respect of the convict
and to encourage him to become
a good citizen.
