Excerpt from How to Reform Our Prison System A pithy aphorism of Carlyle occurs to me as singularly appropriate for the first class I have referred to. Many a man thinks that it is goodness which keeps him from crime, when it is only his full stomach. On half allowance he would be as ugly and knavish as anybody. Don't mistake potatoes for principles. Ruskin must have had the third class in view when he wrote: The plea of ignorance will never take away our responsibilities. It is written, If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it? And He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it As regards the second class, the self-complacent Englishman, the only way to rouse him is, I think, to shock him by flinging cold, hard facts at him.

Excerpt from How to Reform Our Prison System As they are to-day, English prisons are not only manu-factories of crime, but forcing-houses for professional criminals. The human, not to say humane, note is absent from them. Routine, a deadly, dull, stupid routine, based on no logical principle, and having no objective point whatever, reigns supreme. Three centuries ago Paolo Sarpi, who was directed by the Venetian Government to investigate and report upon the prisons of Venice, wrote: "The object of punishment should be the emendation, not the destruction of the criminal." These were wise words, but they do not appear to have borne much fruit in 300 years. The time, accordingly, appears to be opportune for directing attention to the defects of the English prison system, not only as regards reformation, but in other details. That system simply tends to make what I may term the accidental criminal an habitual criminal, to case-harden the old offender. It is a system lacking throughout in sympathy, which attempts nothing, and apparently cares nothing, in regard to the improvement of character, or in reference to preparing the incarcerated man or woman for return to the world. It is solely and only concerned about the performance of the daily routine and the safe custody of the prisoners. Its tendency is to atrophy every human feeling and lofty aspiration, and to induce and accelerate a moral and mental degeneracy.

Excerpt from The American Prison System The quality of mercy is an absent factor insofar as its application to penal conditions is concerned. There exists a singular, relentless attitude on the part of the law toward the offender that curbs all hope of regeneration ere it is born, breeding a defiant, stubborn nature that results in no good.

Excerpt from Prisons and Prisoners A. Thorough conviction of the high importance of the qu estion of Prison Discipline, as it bears upon the moral and social condition of the community, and the positive assurance felt of the general want of correct information, together with a large amount of existing preja dice, are the considerations which have induced the writer to enter upon the subject of the following pages. His particular atten tion has long been given to the condition of penal institutions and their general regime, and as Opportunities have been presented, he has made himself acquainted with the main points of dispute te specting the prevailing systems of discipline at home and abroad, and in no limited degree, by personal observation, has endeavoured to ascertain their practical results.

Excerpt from How the Vermont Plan Reforms Jail Prisoners: Employment for Jail Prisoners in Wisconsin I have been invited to speak to you from the subject that my good friend Dr. Hart has termed "The Vermont Prison Labor Law." I shall not attempt to enlarge upon facts, or to paint a picture in bright colors; but shall merely tell a plain, simple story of twenty years of experience in dealing with a class of men and women who are today regarded as "unfortunates" and who, twenty years ago, were classed as "criminals." I have had, during the last twenty years, an opportunity that seldom comes to any one. An opportunity to become acquainted with, and learn something of, the personal history, the life and the ideals of a class of people who, through force of circumstances, have fallen by the wayside and have been caught in the net of the law. To tell the story of successes and failures understandingly and leave out the personal element and almost daily events seems exceedingly difficult, and when one attempts to do this while dealing with human chattels it is absolutely impossible. A business man who buys goods, puts them on his shelves, and trusts their sale to employes only will seldom succeed, and if he succeeds, it will be through those in his employ who have the personal touch. If this is true in business, then how much greater is the need of this personal contact in dealing with human beings and treating persons who are mentally or morally sick - or both. Twenty years ago I was appointed sheriff and was placed in charge of the county jail in Montpelier, Vermont. The building was supposed to accommodate from 30 to 80 persons charged with misdemeanors or crimes. I found a jail filled with idle men, housed in filthy surroundings. They were poorly fed.

Excerpt from State Prisons and the Penitentiary System Vindicated: With Observations on Managing and Conducting These Institutions; Drawn Principally From Experience A system of this nature was early set on foot in the United States on the plan of a Penitentiary, and is now in Operation in almost every State in the Union: it is not, however, without its opposers, but is by many considered as one of those new plans for reform, which, on experiment, fails of producing the desired effects. It is the object of the present work to examine this system, notice the ground of opposition to it, and endeavour to shew, from facts and experience, that the first principles there of are correct, and that with some small improvements, and uh der any thing like a proper management, it possesses peculiar advantages over every other method of punishing criminals heretofore practised, particularly as it respects the following im portant objects, viz.-the peace and safety of society, expense to the community, restraining the increase of crimes, and pro moting the moral improvement of convicts.
