Prison Population Of
World at Record Tide
A Million Men and Women Are
Imprisoned Throughout
the Universe
HUGE COST FOR UPKEEP

GENEVA, Oct. IA million men
and women behind prison bars! The
worlds gaols packed as never be-
fore. Scores of thousands of prison
ers guilty of no criminal offense,
victims only because their politics,
race or religion are obnoxious to
some powerful interest Bullying
humiliation, and even torture, RAM
pant.
That, in tabloid form, is a problem
that has been laid before the 18th
assembly of the league of nations.
Engrossed with drama of Abys-
sinia and Spain, the spotlight that
beats on Geneva may flick unseeing
over the sordid story of prison suf-
fering.
Yet it is startling tale with ma
terial in it for chapter in a new
''martyrdom Of man."
On the testimony of such sober
body as the Howard League for Pen
al Reform, there are today more
men and women shut out from hber-
ty than at any time in history.
While there are no reliable fig
ureS of the cost of maintaining the
worlds prison populatin, rough
guess can be made.
Assuming an average annual cost
for the whole world as low as $3.50
per head, and a prison population
of 100000, at least $3.50, 100000 a
year is being spent in keeping men
and women behind bars.
The Howard league is asking
Geneva to do two things which, it
declares, would save an enormous
amount of needless suffering It
wants all members of the league of
nations to keep and publish accu-
rate staetistics of prisoners. 1t also
wants states to exchange regularly
information about methods, whether
relating to the treatment of often
ders without Imprisonment or to
changes of law or procedure, which
actually tend to diminish the num-
Der of people sent to prison.
