Submitting its seventh report to President Hoover, dealing with “penal | institutions, probation and parole,” the commission advocated creation of @ new system in which iron bars would play but a small part and edu- cation would be uppermost. Much of the report was a denuncia- | tion of prison conditions, character- ized as “almost incredible,” under which men were ned in over- crowded cells without sufficient light or fresh air or benefit of modern plumbing. It lashed out also at the system of prison discipline described as “tradi- tional, antiquated, unintelligent and not infrequentlf cruel and inhuman.” rting these methods “contribute to the increase of crime by the prisoner,” the commission urged they be banished by law. Among the punishments revealed, many of them visited upon prisoners for slight offenses, were the sheck- jing of men to doors for 12 hours a jday, whipping, placing them in |Straight-jackets, lashing them down junder streams of cold water, confin- ng them in cages so small that movement was impossible, and keep- ing them in complete darkness for | After asserting flatly the American {prison had failed as a “business en- terprise,” and as an educational insti- jtution, since men were released no better than when committed, the com- mission added: “The prison has failed as a discipli- nary institution, the riots, the fire, the use of cruel and brutal measures of |punishment, the persistent recurrence :of murder within the prison, the pres- Phere of hatred and bitterness, are sufficient evidence. jurfacing Burleigh county—11.989 miles, U. 8.
