ALBANY, N. Y., July «.—While
the Welfare league of Sing Sing is
being much discussed today the
Homer Honor System at the Great
Meadow prison in Comstock is going
■Ion quietly accomplishing its reward
in a host of redeemed men.
William J. Homer, warden at
Great Meadow and his wife, known
by the prisoners as "Our Lady of
Comstock,” are meeting with success
because they know human nature
and its needs.
"No man can be bettered in prison
if his mind is ill at ease because he
fears for his relatives outside," says
Garden Homer today.
“Therefore, the first thing that is
done when a man enters Great Mead
ow is to care for his family, see that
it is protected and that the innnoeent
will not suffer outside the prison
walls while the guilty suffer within.
“The normal man is made out of
the abnormal criminal by ethical, ed
ucational, physical and . spiritual
methods at Great Meadow.
“If a man is physically defective
he can not reform until his weakness
has been obviated.”
Therefore Warden Homer deals
with each man as an individual. One
man may need to be placed where he
can live in close touch with nature,
so he is given work on the prison
farm, while another man may be ob
sessed with a desire for knowledge,
he is placed at work in the prison
library, or is given some sort of cler
ical work that will help him meet his
desires.
Common sense, love and charity
are comBTned at Great Meadow and
that is why 100 per cent of its men
are making parole and 97% per cent
of its graduates are making good
