state penitentiary.
Recently, when visiting the
state’s penal Institution, we noticed,
perhaps 100 of the prisoners walking
in a circle to obtain exercise suffi­
cient to maintain health. We also
noticed some 2b or 30 other cons.,
who appeared to enjoy greater liber­
ty than the majority of the prison­
ers, and, was informed, that these
were “trusties.” The idea at once
suggested itself to our mind, why
could not the parole of these “tiust-
ies” be extended far enough to suf­
fer them to go wheresoever they
would, and make their own living
without further expense to the state.
The “tate could exercise a mandate
ry right over them, and should they
return to criminal practices, could
without further trial return them
to prison. Such a provision in our
criminal law, would offer some in­
ducement for the reformation of
criminals, whereas as it now is,
none .is offered. It seems to us that
a general criminal law, that when a
criminal has served, say one-third
of his sentence, and by good behavi­
or has earned the position of “trus­
ty,” should he be treated in this
manner, our penal institutions
would become reformatory institu­
tions instead of mere prison pens,
and result in a great saving to the
state, besides making good citizens
out of such persons as generally re­
main criminals, as we now treat
them. There is much room for
thought and reform in our method
of treating criminals.
