Prisons and Criminals. Oscar Lee, warden of the Wisconsin Btate ljI;r'lmn at Waupun, said recently: “I believe no greater mistake has ever been made in prison legislation than that of sending men to prison and keeping them there in idleness.

Propa- ganda against prison-made goods, often made up of half truths, sometimes wholly of untruths, has been consist- ently spread broadcast throughout the country. Legislatures have made laws yestricting the transportation and sale of prison-made goods until, at the pres- ent time, the great majority of the of the United States are posi- vely training men to be idlers, loafers and criminals.” —— Putting Deserts to Work.
