Harry Sinclair was never in jail at all, as 999 out of 1000 jail pris- oners understand that term. What ever agony he suffered was mental, for he suffered little physical dis comfort induced by jail routine or treatment from the time he went in until the time he got out.
 As far as other prisoners were concerned, the net result of Sin clair's confinement there was to make them more than ever sure that If you have money you can get anything you Want,'
 If a prisoner had q tendency 10 make life's pathway easier by talk ins things that didn't belong to him, Sinclalr's treatment was noth- ing but an inducemcnt 10 go out and do it some more. If prisoner had d cynical attitude toward so- ciety's ability to execute its laws equally against all citzcns. rich and poor, what he saw of Sinclairs : treatment would mako him more cynical about it than ever.
