RECOMMENDS REFORMAT INSTEAD OF SUPPRESSION | (Continped from Page 1.) | the labor. value of the penitentiary product will be determined by refer- ence to the factor or number of the | class in which thar. employment | falls. The example given in the re- | port ig that of 5 stupid-convict- with- ~¥ Tout dexterity assigned to scrubbing | floors and go falling in Class 3, and | an expert intelligent convict set to {operate a complicated piece of ma- | chinery, this employment being clas- | sified in Class 7. The latter's share | on the distribution would be slightly | over twice as much as the former's. { It the former's turned out to be $30 { for the quarter, the latter's would be ($70. The plan proposed will be sim- { Ple enough to operate onde the clas- sification of employment has been { completed, and the promotion of in- dustrious, well-behaved convicts, and the reduction in grade of ill-conduct- ed, idle ones can be readily carried out. : Educate Convicts, The committee contends that if a fair degree of education tends to Secure success for the ordinary citiz- en it is unreasonable that the state should allow an illiterate to coRtinue without' education during the time of his imprisonment. They are im- pressed with the desire of many convicts, appreciating past errors and their unfortunate results, to improve themselves during the term of their sentence that they may be the bet- ter able to take their position in so- clety after release and in compétition with their fellows make their way. The report, therefore, contains sug- gestions for the establi ment of schools in the penitent aries, the compulsory education of illiteraies, the improvement of libraries and the general knowledge of the convicts by the use of scientific books and approved newspapers and periodicals. It good health is essential to the or- dinary man's success what right has the state' to do anything that lessens the tone of the convicts. Recom- mendations are also niade insisting on the standard of the cells being respected, that opportunities be given for out-deor exercise and that such other means be taken as common sense dictates for the maintenance of the health of the convicts. Recommend Tebacco. The deprivation of convicts of to- bacco has, in the opinion of the committee not a little to do with the trafficking that destroys the morale of the keeper and convict and also makes for discontent among the penitentiary population. The report recommends a regulated dis- tribution of tobacco' as the members of ¥he committee are of the opinion that it will improve generally the rson Bros.

The committee are of the opinion that to a limited extent those of the: .con- victs who want tobacco get it by un- 8 justifiable methods and 'that it would be better by far for the state to meet the want than to have it met improperly by subterfuge. As stated generally above the re- wardens of penitentiaries the power to order corporal punishment, which, if pera under 'any cirs cumstances, is to be so only on the direct Instructions of the minister of Justice in cases thought by him to be incorrigible. The committee thinks that 'a number of convicts will be found on examination by special- ists to be mentally defective or mentally disturbed, and that the re- moval of these to mental hospitals, and the provision for the rest of ade- | quate work, combined with the ar- rangements for their earning some- thing for the sypport of their fam- ilies or themselves after their re- lease, will have the effect of making disefplinary difficulties practically disappear. The punishments which it is BF Doses + that the warden can impose «consist, therefore, in the for- feiture of remission of sentence for good conduct, in the imposition of fines, payable out of convicts' re- muneration, and in the deprivation { Of privileges. Incorrigible convicts must be reported to the penitentiary board and the minister's instructions obtained for any special . punish- ment, " Other recommendations of the committee include the alteration of the present inside hospital cells which eut off the rooms occupled by the patients from the fresh air and sunlight of ouiside by an intervening passage and recommend interior hospital penitentiary arrangements to conform to what is thought neces- nstitution of of the former in a separate institu- tion with a woman warden. S-- i Co-operation Required. The committee are apparently of the conviction that it will be difi- cult to effect the advanced changes recommended unless there is co- {operation on the part of all concern- {ed in the administration and realizes that there will be those who will |eriticize what. is suggested viewing tho--preblem from the Engle that has governed for over half a century. The report of the committee has | | dealt courageously with a difficult || problem. The members make it abundantly clear that their task was to suggest ' improvement not to eulogize that of which they approve; {they have, therefore, indicated | where, in _ their opinion, changes {should -be made, admitting, without | going igto details, the merits in .|the present system where. the same [exist.
