The hard-boiled prison man or policeman of the old
school, and the ' hard-boiled newspaper writer who. believes
that most criminals are born into a criminal class, are prone
to continually call the; attempted reformation of convicted
men as "coddling," which they mean in the sense of the defi
nition of the word coddling as spoiling or treating with exces
sive kindness ; but used in contempt- ' 7 '
And these hard-boils are wrong, as usual. 7 K
The first class prisons of He United States, which are anotner public meeting should be called to consider t
self supporting or on the way to self support, and in which - ih nl . .. lt

But on. the Icontrary they-jhaintain the strictest kind of
L ,4iscipUne; some of them, like the. New Jersey penitentiary,
1 having military discipline, just, like that maintained in an
.rmy on the march. . ; U ' I- s ,.!
If criminal tendencies were hereditary, most of the prin
cipal families of Australia would be crooks, for their ancestors
were sent from England to that continent, which was used
.,as a penal colony. So would a lot of the first families in
wt America, for this country in Colonial times was used as a
'dumping ground' for criminals by England, i ;
lZ ' Strict discipline in-prisons Js not cruelty, as many soft
headed and tenderhearted people suppose. It is on the con
Jtf trary the highest sort of kindness, considering the welfare
"of the prisoner, as a possible subject-for salvage for decent
a. law abiding, society ';.:;;'.v;..i' Vi,&'-';
For there can be no high percentage of such reforma
tion without both employment for every, inmate and a wage
for the work,' and the strictest kind ot discipline, coupled "with
j common sense and justice V.
Just the opposite of coddling.
