Freedom in Prison
Makes Men, Says
Illinois Warden

Joliet, Ill.,, May 9---An iron hand
and mere confinement makes con-
victs and no more; progressive
scale of privileges and freedom with
in a prison makes men," according to
John L. Whitman. superintendent of
Illinois prisons. under whose SUPER
vision the new state penitentiary at
Statewide, near here, is being con-
structed. The architecture Of the
building is designed to facilitate ap-
plication Of the illinois idea" or pro-
gressive merit system. Prisoners will
be grouped according to their grade
of advancement under the system,
and each group will be assigned to
one of the eight cellhouses, the Sec
ond Of which will be completed and
in use within few days. Prisoners
will move from cellhouse to dollhouse
with their advancement in grade.
The plan provides that prisoners
may pass through the following
stages: confinement under strict
prison discipline: increasing oppor-
tunity to merit more confidence on
the part Of prison authorities: posi-
tions of trust within prison walls: life
in cottages outside the prison but
under the supervision Of prison au-
thorities: parole; freedom.
The system is an outgrowth Of
psychological study of convicts which
was conducted by Superintendent
Whitman, the late Warden Everett ].
1 urphy. and q staff Of experts dur
ing the last twenty years.
