the individuals who languish in the unthink-
able conditions of these local institutions.

"A country and municipal jails," DR..
Within says, 'is sufficient to justify their
condemnation as a disgrace to modern civil
ization. They are cesspools of moral conta-
gion, factories of crime, feeders for the peni-
tentiary, centers of tubercular and other con-
tagion. and public nuisances. The barbaric
conditions of the jails of the Middle Ages
can be duplicated in any State Of the
Union. 10y -----.-. - = 70
Many efforts have been made to reform
the county Jail. Hundreds Of reports call
ing attention to defects in jails are filed in
our Libraries. Hundreds of grand juries are
Mortified every year upon inspection of their
county jails, but their recommendations have
little effect. 1t is the inertia of individual
communities which makes 1t possible for
reactionaries to laugh at reform movements.
Among the principal reasons for this over
powering inertia are the ignorance Of the
actual conditions of their jails, the scat
tering of the aggregate evil over an immense
territory, and the archaic organization which
makes the county jail the stronghold Of
local graft and political dishonesty.
There is no satisfying remedy to the
county Jail system but its abolishment. State
Institutions are usually managed by expert
enced executives selected with some regard
for their fitness by the Governor or the
Board of Control, but county jail oficials
are elected every few years without ref
erence to their fitness for wardenship vi
human beings. and their ignorance Of th.
proper principles Of prison management is
pathetic. 1t is obviously not feasible for
State like Illinois to educate properly every
two years a new set of ninety seven county
Jail officials and 6fty-two keepers of mu-
nicipal jails. Imagine then the confusion
of trying to apply such an educational pro-
gram to the 5000 county and municipal jails
in the United States. Furthermore, il is
entirely safe to predict that State lexisIa.

will never be effective if its enforcement is

authorihes.''

Labor is generally recognized as q most
fundamental principle Of prison manage
ment The only successful reformation of
prisoners has been based upon the pris-
oners' regeneration through labor. The
principle will shortly, it is hoped, be applied
to all State prisons by the introduction Of
industrial training and vocational educa-
ton Most of the men who will get the
benefit of this training will be professionals
who have had careers Of crime. Were this
principle to be applied when they first enter
upon their careers. there would be greater
possibilities OF establishing them as pro-
ductive members Of society.

whole idea is wrong. The solution is to
make the care Of prisoners a State and not
q county responsibility. Then q group Of
counties could be combined and a single

certain communities that they fight to retain
their criminals, the punishment Of whom
rishtfully belongs to the State. The county
has no criminal code of its own. Misde-
meanants are violstors Of State laws rather
than of local ordinances Therefore, the re-
sponslbility Of the State is just as great in
the case of man sentenced for three months
as it is for the man committed to prison for
three years. Furthermore, it Is criminal

is the popular fallacy that the manage
ment Of a county Jail requires no special
training or ability. The ability to apply the
complex principle Of reformation is rare.
This principle is being applied to State
prise ms. 1t is even more important that jais
should no longer be neglected in the appli-
caticn Of this principle; prisoners should not
be made worse by residence in the jail.

The solution requires the establishmena
Of State institutions for handling the mis-
demeanant prisoners and the overthrow of
the county Jail system. Some counties have
stumbled along toward such q goal By es-
'sblishing workhouses and penal farms, but
only counties with large populations are
