PILLORY FAR BETTER

LONDON. June 3.-condemnation
Of the modern prison system as "ex-
tremely wicked" has Just been voiced
by George Bernard Shaw. who for
three years served on committee
investigating present-day penal
methods.
In fact. Mr.. Shaw's denunciation of
modern punishment for criminals is
so strong that he advances the theory
that 1t would be less tormcnting to
return to the rack, stake. pillory and
and lash and suggests death punish
ment for any "abominable or con-
tinuins offense" as better than the
system that now exists.
Those opinions of the iconoclast
writer are expressed in preface
TO English Prisons Under Local
Government" by Mr.. and Mrs. Sid
rcy Webb.
Some OF shaw's general contentious
follow:
Modern Imprisonment; that is. i'm
pEisonment practiccd as a punishment
as well as means of detention, is
extremely cruel and mischievous. and
therefore. extremely wicked
