Where Ignorance
is Brutal
(Co.ntinued from Page Three)
'The quality of the intelligence
that supervises the penal system
may be Judged from the following
list of offenses," writes Mr. Tan
nenbaum in his expose of prison
conditions in the south.

living in a firetrap, with the doors
locked on the outside and the key
in the hands of a young man. One
county warden who had state prison
ers, among them women both white
and colored, told me in confider e,
‘I neah killed that woman yesterday.’
She had lost her temper and cursed
one of the guards,
"One of the most reliable women
officials in the south told me that in
her state, at the state farm for wom
en, the dining-room contains a sweat
box for the women, who are punished
by being locked up in a narrow place
with insufficient room to sit down,
and near enough to the table to be
able to smell the food.
“Over the table there is an iron
bar to which women are handcuffed
when they are strapped, and on the
wall there is a sign, ‘Christ died to
save sinners.’ ”
Immorality Specified
Conditions of extreme immorality
ire suggested and specified.
In concluding his description, Mr.
rannenbaum does not strike an atti
tude of unqualified accusation. He
icknowledges that here and there
rood work is being done to better con-‘
litions, but declares that all the ef
orts of the prison reformers have aa
ret produced no very marked ad
ranees, except in girls’ reform schools.
*And he appends a warning to those
rom other sections who may be in
lined to feel self-righteous after feari
ng about the south. ' *
“Lest the readers of this should be
nder the delusion that the rest of the
ountry is much better, let me remind
hem that the cruelest form of pun
shment, the straight-jacket, is still
;sed in one prison in the north; that
ogging is still practiced in the mid
le west; that dark dungeons, with
irons and chains riveted about the
nkles. are still used in the far west;
lat solitary confinement and dark
p!1s are almost universal.”
