Pastor Tells Prison Group
Penal Systems Make
for Crime.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, october 20.-Rev.
Christian F. Reisner declared today in
an address before the American Prison
Association here that the American
prison system is pagan and more con-
ducive to crime than to correction.
The pastor OF the Broadway Temple
Methodist Episcopal Church in New
York declared the prison treatment had
little basis in Christianity and more
in the spirit of revenge.
The prison should be a hospital"
he said. Then it would send out its
patients cured. Instead, AZ per cent
OF them return. Severity and inhuman
treatment have contributed to crime by
sending out victims so hardened that
they easily take up violent lawlessneSs.
Holds Baumcs Law Wrong.
STUDY the effect of the Baumes Law
in New York The criminal population
of New York increased from 4,598 in
1928 to 6,618 in 1880, a jump Of A
per cent.
Can any one wonder at the terrible
riot in the Ohio Penitentiary? 1t was
built TO hold 2,184 inmates, but 4,345
we're crowded into it. From 1900 to
1000 spent "a hours a day in sulen
idleness: the workshops were overfull.
Picture the prisons where the limo
cent and guilty the clean and the vile
are herded together for months at a
time. No exercise, little fresh air. sheer
idleness and indescribable conditions
They are shut away from all mellowing
influences.
Guards Held Unfit.
And then investigate the prison
guards who domineer over them and
inforce many heartless rules. Seventy
five per cent Of these guards can get no
other Jobs. They stav brief periods.
The pay offered attracts few who are
capable of being moral nurses. The
new dav is Offering training for prison
guards"
In many States the parole systems
are being broadened and less harsh
treatment is being given to prisoners as
an experiment. DR.. Reisner said. In
places where this greater freedom IS
granted the prisoners crime is decreas-
ing. he declared.
What can we DO to redeem our
selves?" the speaker asked. Affirm re-
reatedly and everywhere that so-called
criminals can be cured. Absolutely no
mental patient is hopeless"
