REFORMATORY ATTACKED
Bad Conditions Alleged to Exist at
Georgia State Institution’ for the
Correction of Youthful Criminals. :
One of the most stirring incidents of
Tuesday morning’s sessicn of the Geor
gia Scciclogical Society in Atlanta,
was the criticism of conditions at the
state reformatory at Milledgeville, the
alleged degrading ccnditions existing
there being told in the address of Rev.
D. W. Brannen,
He described the boys sent there for
reform, as chained and manacled, and
coverned accoerding to the convict sys
tem. Thus they plow in the fields, and
dc tae labor zllotted them. Ia one
building limited in size, the cooking,
eating and sleeping is done, the white
boyg in the same apartments with the
negroes and lying on the same flcor,
No training of body or ming is provid
ed fcr them, no recreation, no raligious
suggestion, in fact, the conditions de
scribed by Mr. Brannen were as hope
less as any that have been told about
the worst conducted convict camp.
Doctor Brannen opened his address
by stating taat in 1905 the bill was
passed in the legislature creating a t'e-|
tormatery for juvenile criminals, this
reformatory to include a building or
buildings amply commodicus for a
work room, school rocms, while be
sides the work tc be done by the boys
they were to have a training along
agricultural and domestic lines, and be
given the oppertunities of an elementa
ry English education. In other words,
as the word reformatory suggests, they
were to have every opportunity to re
form, thus becoming useful citizens,
and not a menace to the community.
The reformatory, howaver, was put
under the control of the prison com
mission, and is being operated under
that body.
Mr. Brannen did not believe that the
present method of having the Dboys
chained as they worked in the field
was conducive to reform, the average
boy described as weighing under 100
pounds, as he plowed away under the
direction of a guard weighing 200
pounds and carrying a gun. ‘
The situation as described by Mr.
Brannen was shocking, ard many were:
those who afterwards expressed sur
prise could exist and gc unnoticed by
the people of Georgia.
To Protect Range Cattle.
Representative Porter of New York
Friday laid before the president am
appeal from the American Humane As
sociation for the protecticn of range
cattle in the west. The association
desireg cattle men who lease govern
ment ranges to provide foed and was
ter for their stock.
