fee for their lives within another fortyeght hours
OF all the preposterous nonsense the notion that fear
IL no deterrent OF crime Is the most absurd When
criminals have little no fear they work with great
est boldness and In greatest numbers. Where detec
ton fairly certain and the penalties Grim
inals do not like to work. X:
The last and the most recent of the three false con-
ceptions upon which the prison refomers stand Is that
the criminal Is defective physically. The moment you
agree that criminal is not quite right In his mind
In his body, then he Is sick man. And man who
does something wrong on account Of being sick IL a
man who should not be punished very much, and thus
you arrive at the point which the sentmentaists
constantly striving for, namely That since the crim
nal is not perfectly healthy he should be treated
like hospital patient and that any idea Of punish-
ment should be entirely removed from whatever you
decide to do with him. g##t4 E" 1''- -
Now, have had a considerable acquaintance IN
the criminal world with little and big crooks. have
never observed any Of the many associates OF mine
who were not mighty well equipped both mentally and
physically. They were about much entitled to be
treated as hospital patients as Jack Dempsey ". >F
There are Of course. mental detectives" Just as
there are lame people and people with bad hearing and
bad eyesght and weak lungs but these mental defec
tves, like the other detectives know the difference
between right and wrong These mental detectives
know enough not to rush into a bank crowded with
people or police and try TO snatch some money from
the counter These mental detectives wise enough
not to hold up person at midday In the throng at
Fifth avenue with policeman standing within sight
They are not 30 mentally defective that they do not
understand that in the dark shadows and in the night
time or when other circumstances are favorable, Is
the time for them to pull off their jobs G-. sH X
The mental defective plea is very convenient
argument for the sentmentalists. Nobody disagrees
that crazy person ought not be held fully respons
BILE for his deeds Starting with that common agree
ment the sentimentalsts begin to talk about the in-
telligence age" OF defective criminal and they put
him down a moron" and they thus fog up the
whole situation with lot of terms OF psychology and
medicine until you lost In the haze and they argue

The Dangers to Society
of Paroles and Pleasant Prisons

The fear Of the uniformed policeman swinging his
club the of the street is the only thing that
makes It possible to live In the city of New York to-
day. II the prison refomers could pass a law dis
banding the New York police force, nobody's life.
property, business or family would be safe within
twenty-four hours.
And this very thing proved to the amazement
Of the people OF Boston not many months ago. when
the Boston police force suddenly went strike The
public windows along Washington street and fremont
street were smashed in, and within twentyfour hours
after the news spread that there were policemen
Of anarchy. s... ........... .....
Crooks, little and big emerged boldly to take ad-
vantage Of the situation but the most significant fact
good" honest" "law-abiding" citizens, who had
never done criminal thing In their lives began to
gather into groups and take the habits of criminals
stealing breaking into shops and holding up other cit
liens II the Massachusetts, State troops had not been
called out to walk the posts which the Boston police
had deserted the honest citizens would have had to

natural for normal man to be criminal, so there
fore criminal is an abnormal man, and that an abb
normal Is to be pitied and not punished. There
fore let, him 60 when you catch him. or confne him
for little while In hospital. .
AS said at the outset criminals have come to
gratefully appreciate the splendid work done In their
behalf by the penologststhe prison refomers. They
agree with their friends the sentimentasts, that
prison sentences should be very short and that prisons
should be made attractive They agree with the point
OF view that the idea of punishment Is vengefu sort
of thing and should be driven out of our minds II
"a criminal should be held in detention at ALL 1t should
not be with any vindctive idea to punish him. because
he is sick man." and he ought to be treated as you
would treat sick child ... ~.
Therefore the point of view of what a prison should
be Is completely changed nowadays. When you take
away from prison sentence any idea Of punishment
you then leave the door open for the sentimentasts
to I'LL in the time Of the unfortunate prisoner, the
sick man." with such amusements and diversions as
can be supplied. Thus had in the days of Thomas
Mott Osborne at Sing Sing programme of theatre
Gals, motion pictures, baseball games concerts etc.
Prison meant good food very little work and all the
diversions and amusements which could be conve-
nienty provided. ....
And along with all this the parole idea has been
ostered This is the final thing that takes the teeth
out OF the criminal law In spite Of the reformers
good many crimes carry say, ten years sentence on
the statute books But thanks to the reformers the
parole idea has been established so that the criminal
knows that he has the bad luck to be caught and the
SURPRISING luck 10 pe convicted the ten years penalty
means that after one years good behavior among the
motion pictures and ball games and concerts of the
prison he Is entitled to expect to be paroed In other
words. the ten years penalty Is joke. What ought
to mean ten years In State prison at hard work really
turns out to mean one year In State prison and the
freedom to pick up his burglars tools where he left
them year before. .....s. g.. i 3. r...
III crime isn't easy and arrest, quick conviction and
long term In prison at hard work are almost certain
to- be the criminals fate-there will be no crime
waves and mighty few professional criminals.

Why Just Punishment
Is the Best Cure for Crime

But Mr.. Osborne like the rest Of the prison reform
.ers believed that In theory If you treated scoundre
,, like gentleman he ought to forget that he was
scoundrel and rise to the level Of of honor. 1t
would seem to even the intelligence of high school
child that such notion was grotesquely ridiculous
And, Of course Mr.. Osbornes honor system In Sing
Sing the joke of the prison, and he was thor
oughly well fooled and imposed upon in every
direction
The next fallacy in remodelling our prison rules
and penalties for crimes Is the surprising assertion
that fear Is not deterrent Of crime there Is any
absolutely certain thing In the criminal world 1t
is that fear s the very greatest OF all deterrens of
crime.
Is pulled and an adversary Is shot down the ele-
of fear Is any deterrent but the great Of
crime In this world is committed by criminals who
knowingly not accidentally thump you over the head
with blackjack In dark street creep into your
!, bedroom window at night pick your pocket In a
crowd the lock Of your shop door and rob your
- safe.
Most crime Is committed by professional criminals
who select crime being more to their taste and less
to their disadvantage than the reward Of honest
days work. Now. Il would not seem to me hard for
the reader to understand that the easier the path Of
the criminal Is made the attractive is this field Of
attractive the field Of crime is made the less It will
s attract criminals
nc But suits the theory Of the prison sentimentass
TO brush aside all human experience twist the facts
OF experience and arrive at the false declaration that
people not dissuaded from crime by the severity
of penalties They ignore what every professional
criminal knows that where detection has been quick
and punishment been swift and severe, crimes have
81 been reduced to q very small percentage.
