Prison Camps Find
New Cruelty Methods
Lay Blame for Them On Desire of
Wardens to Return to Use
of the Lash.

Atlanta, Ca Desire for re-
turn to the lash, in the opinion of
E. 1. ,Rainey, member of the Georgia
prison commission, is prompting
wardens to devise methods of convict
punishment which appear brutal.
Flogging was abolished by a recent
legislature and lately there has been
some agitation among the wardens for
a repeal of the statute. Uniform
punishment methods will be sought at
a December meeting of the prison
commission, Mr.. Rainey said.
Reports from some camps to repre-
sentative Emmett Williams, chairman
of the house penitentiary committee,
tell of many peculiar modes of
punishment devised since abolition of
the lash.
One camp, Mr.. Williams said, has
Assyrians called ''the torture by
boats" Prisoners are fastened in a
shallow box and molasses is smeared
on their exposed faces to attract flies,
their arms being bound to prevent
their brushing the insects away.
Honey was used by the Assyrians.
Reports several days ago told of the
finds of stocks in several prison
camps, resembling those used by the
Puritans of Massachusetts. In some
cases, the report said, the stocks were
padded, but in others the openings
were left square and bare, fitting
tightly around the neck, wrists and
ankles of the prisoners, sometimes
cutting deeply into the flesh.
Another form of punishment re-
ported is the use of "sweat boxes
in which prisoner is confined fol
several hours at time. This report
said prisoners were almost in state
of collapse when finally released.
