PRISON SYSTEM
ROTTEN TO CORE
SUBSTANCE OF REPORT THAT
CAME FROM COMMISSION—OF
FICIALS LET DOWN LIGHT, BUT
NOT WHITEWASHED.
ATLANTA. Ga., June 29—The pri-
Bon system of Georgia is rotten to the
core.
That’s the substance of the report
which the commission of five Super
ior Court judges filed with Gov. Hard
wick yesterday, having completed
their work Tuesday.
The officials in charge are let
down light, far lighter, in fact, than
there was reason to expect, but they
are not whitewashed.
The burden of responsibility for
rotten conditions is laid more to the
lack of funds, and in that respect the
Legislature is held responsible.
That the men are not properly
treated, as human beings should be,
when they are sent by the courts in
to penal service, is an established
fact. ' “ *
Among other things the commiss
ion will say these things:
Recommendation by a vote of three
to two that the system of flogging
prisioners be abolished.
Declaration that the farm is con
ducted in an inefficient manner and
that a charge to intense cultivation
and proper business administration
will make it self-supporting.
The assertion that the water supply
is a menace to the lives of all prison
ers anrJ recommendation that a mod
ern water plant he immediately in
stalled.
Approval of immediate screening of
practically all the buildings of the
prison plant in order to protect the
health of inmates from disease-carry
ing insects.
Urgent recommendation that an
adequate supply of bedding be pro
vided in order that the present condi
tion of filth and the presence of ver
min may he rectified.
A sweeping denunciation of the
system of feeding prisoners, relating
both to the quality and quantity of
food served, which is declared to be
very poor and lacking variety.
Failure to attribute these condi
tions to malfeasance or negligency
of any official, but a general assert
ion that a lack of funds are mainly
responsible.
The recommendations of the com
mission will include sweeping changes
in both the buildings and the farm
ing property.
The tubercuilosis camp, it is under
stood, will be severely scored and as
a general proposition the commission
holds that while there must of neces
sity be some form of humane punish
ment in the handling of convicts in
order to curb the criminal classes it
is imperative that the punishment in
Bill instances be more reasonable than
It is.
There is a difference on the matter
oV flogging and while the judges are
divided three to two that it should be
abolished, they all hold that “the
leather has not been used as a last
resort” as the rules provide, but as
practically the only resort, but they
do not charge that even this was in
humanely done.
It is learned that the report will
say on that score:
“While all of us are agreed that if
whipping is to be recognized and used
as a form of punishment it should
never be resorted to for trival of
fenses and should only be used as a
last resort and after all other means
to correct objectionable conditions
and enforce discipline have been em
ployed and failed.
In regard to the proposition of pur
chasing a new and better piece of
farming land the judges are said to
have found that “while much of the
farm is broken and very poor and
does not under the present and inef
ficient methods of cultivation produce
a sufficient supply of food to support
itself and the prison, this fact, they
find, is due to the absolute lack of
system and the absence of Intensified
farm rather than to the lack of fertil
ity of the land.
“There Is to much scattering over
a wide territory.” the commission as
serts, “and there seems to be a care
less effort to cultivate a greater por
tion of It and no proper method of
cultivating any part of it. If the
farming enterprise were restricted a
support might be made on this farm.
Only the best of the lands should
be used for crops and these should be
greately diversified for the product
ion of food stuffs. We believe with
the proper methods of husbandry this
farm can make much more of the sup
plies needed by the prisoners and
remove in large measure the alleged
inadequacy of funds for its power
functioning.”
