\ ¢ “ FEWER PRISONERS: | DRY LAN CREDITED VOne-Eighth Prison Reduction '+ in 16 States Is Reported Be, in-Six Years. ¢ By the Associated Press. CHICAGO,, March 2f—Decrease in the total .population, of ‘state prisons in the middle ang soutliwestern states is attributed in .part to prohibition + by a number of state. prison authori- tiel. ‘Other reasans noted. included high wages ard shortage of labor,.the indeterminate sentence and the merit system. y The falling off for sixteen states, as noted in reports collected here by the Associated Press, amounted on De- cember 1, 1920, to nearly an eighth of the total on December 1, 1914. In commenting on the decrease in states where it occurred, more prison officials named prohibition than any other single reason. Several. citing industrial conditions, gave this cause greater weight than prohibition. From one of the states that reported an increase, Ohio, the warden of the state penitentiary reported he. did not believe that prohibition had de- creased crime. Lack Uniformity. “The decrease in prisoners was not uniform. but took place in nine states. where the total decrase wiped out an increase in six states and showed a net decrease for the entire sixteen one remaining stationary. New features in the character of crime and criminals were noted by several state officials. “T believe that there has been a general decrease in the prison popu- Jation of the country.” said Heary Town, warden of the Wisconsin state prison at Waupun. “This can be at- tributed in part to the restricted sale &% intoxicating liquor and also to the fact that labor has been scarce and high wages have been paid. “We do not get as many petit of- fenders as formerly, but the crimes committed are of a much more Seri- ous nature. I believe it is also true that a great many of these serious crimes are being committed and the offenders are not being caught. 1 think vou can sum up the situation by saving that petit crime has de- creased and a more .serious form of crime has taken its place and great- 1y increased. and that the percentage f arrests for the more serious crimes i8 much less than the arrests for- merly for petit crimes. Varyinx Opinions. Prohibition was said by Downer Mullen, secretary of the Minnesota state hoard of cdhtrol. to be one of the principal reasons for the decrease in the number of inmates in the Minnesota state Prison at Stillwater.
