What real prison reform consists of
was outlined by DR. Beverly Robin
son of New York recently in an in
teresting article. in which the physi-
clan gave his views, as follows:
"It does not exist in severity or
cruelty. 1t does exist in remu-
nerative work, discipline. proper food
and recreation. No man can be ex-
pected to work willingly and well
unless he works with the best tools.
otherwise, he feels he is doing little
or nothing in reality for those who
are dependent upon hina-namely, his
wife and children. If he is not given
the best to work with he canpot hope
to do good work outside, such as will
command employment and a price.
when his sentence is finished and he
leaves prison.
when his sentence is finished ne
should have a good suit of clothes OF
his own selection and made for him.
Further, he should have sufficient
money when he leaves prison to per-
init him to go far away from his
former pals and from the place where
he committed the crime.
Would Enforce Discipline.
discipline should be enforced, but
not one which means ali sorts of ar
bitrary rules. some of which are abSo-
lutely unnecessary and are indeed
petty and annoying. If the latter are
broken as they often will be, and
punishment follows. it only makes the
criminal harder and less disposed to
do what is required of him, and is
really essential to his and others
welfare. If prisoners work well and
faithfully they should have sufficient
palatable and proper food and this
food should be properly served If
not it is simply useless to attempt
or hope for reform among men. To
preach Christianity and treat men
differently from what men should be
treated is vain. purposeIess and is
bound to fail. Prisoners should have
proper recreation and sufficient .ex-
ercise and outing They should not
be confined to their cells long hours
on Saturdays. Sundays or holidays.
II there be music, movies lectures.
plays. they should all be of an ele
waiting and instructive kind. None
of the sort now sometimes allowed
should be permitted. They are unde-

basing. In moderation and during

ors should be well selected. and those
who are really interested in the well
fare of prisoners and the improve

among men of character. who will
see in every prisoner a man who
merits help with Improvement.
Help Must he collective
