SKYSCRAPER JAILS ARE
NOW N
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON. Jan. "a sky
scraper Jail has been suggested IN
Chicago.
Heretofore public buildings have
been allowed to spread recklessly
| over valuable city ground, in Greek
temple fashion. But the skyscraper
church and the skyscraper school
have made their appearance in
New York, and the prospect is that
eventually even the Jail in a big
city must take up as little space on
earth as possible. If the Jail must
accommodate as many guests as q
medium sized hotel, then it must,
like the hotel spread itself verti-
calIy.
The newest thing in Jails, de-
signed by H. H. Hart, president OF
the American Prison Association,
saves considerable city space. And
the designer points out hat If. with
the growth of a city even a nine
story Jail should become uncomtor-
tably crowded, extra stories can oe
added. The Jail can thus be en-
sarged without the usual trouble and
expense involved when adjoining
property must be acquired.
But besides taking up very little
ground, this new style Jail pro-
vides ray1cr:es to soI..e serious con-
ditions which obtain in county Jails
all over the country. The thtnly
populated county may have nc need
for a nine-story, four-wing struc-
ture to hold 600 offenders, but as a
rule the little one-story county jail
is characterized by the same condl-
lions that cause city jails to be re-
garded as veritable schools of crime.
In most places the person who 1s
accused Of breaking the law is taken
INTO custody and herded in with a
motley collection of prisoners, some
of them "old timers" some dis
eased, some with poisoned minds.
The accused is supposed to be
treated as innocent until he is prov
ed guilty, but if for any reason he
Is not let out on bond he must stay

In a progressive metropolis like
Chicago, a suspect is locked in a
cell with two or three other men
for twenty hours out of each "a

Mr.. Hart further says that in most

inmates need medical, surgical,

Evil of Bad Associations
