Wines, the American commissioner to the international prison con- grese at London in 1832, who spoke at length in favor of a reform in the mat‘er of prison dis- cipline. The speaker took the view that the labor of the prison must be industrial and pro- ductive. Bootless labor te as demoralizing and injurious to a prisoner as it would be to a free- man. At the conclusion of Dr. Wines’ address, the audience sang two verses of a hymn; after which, Senator Stevenson, of Ky., was intro- duced. He said he could point out numerous defects in prison life, and if asked which was the greatest, he would say that it was the bring- ing of boys twelve or fifteen years of in con- tact with old and experienced crimi: Then, iD, criminals shoula be classified. The crime of every man brought to prison shonld be in- vestigated, his antecedents leoked into, and a man who had, in the heat of passion, committed the crime of manslaughter should not be cone fined with a hardened criminal. But few knew how much huma: ‘Mpathy impressed a hard- ened criminal. He had seen evidences of the benefits resulting from the continued inter- course of good with bad men.
