Editorial Comment
Prison Riots Prove Nothing
minneapolis Journall

O0sAA01
Because imprisoned criminals want out SO badly that
they are ready to risk their lives In mutinies, as demon
stratcd In five major instances Of penitentiary rioting In
the last few months. numerous writer's In the daily and
periodical press are expressing the conviction that there
must be something seri0usly wrong with our prisons.
The evidence Is i1conclusivc. II penitentiary life was
20 productive of satisfaction and eontentment that no
convict was ever willing to risk hts life In an attempt
to get out, then, indeed. would there be something wrong
with our prisons. For. the moment penal captivity loses
all its tcrrors for the eriminally inclined, then penal
captivity also fails signally as . crime deterrent.
It should be remembered that the purposes Of imprison-
ment are three: To keep the convicted offender away
from society. so that he will not have opportunity to
repeat his offense for q time to convince him that punish
ment outweighs the spoils OF crime. SO that he win not
offend again. after hts term = up: and to make crime
less attractive in the minds Of . million potential
criminals outside Of penitentiaries.
II prison life Is made 30 agreeable that nobody ever
wants out. then Imprisonment serves only one Of these
three purposes. It does keep the criminal out Of mischief
as long as he is behind the bari. But It does not make
him think twice before repeating his crime. once he Is
out. And 1t does not impress very seriously his fellow
criminal. who SO far has escaped detection.
Doubtless there are prison conditions that need re-
forming. Criminals should not be forced to live IN
incubators Of disease. and their health should not be
weakened BY starvation. q lack OF sufficient clothing.
First offenders should be separated from hardened old
timers.
But. among men facing years Of confinement ut hard
labor. there will always be some 30 desperate for their
freedom that they are ready to shed blood In the hope Of
attaining II. This only way to keep these men from
desperately wanting their freedom. Is to make life In
prison as attractive IS life outside prison. Once that is
done. prisons win fall OF their purpose.
