Bailey, head of the department of sociology in the School of Religion at Yale and Pres- ‘idem of the Connecticut Prison | sociation spoke before the as- members ing in the Y. M. C. A. banguet hall. His topic was ‘“‘Connecticut’s Need of o State Reformatory for Delinquent ‘Women"” and he explained the need of such an institution and also the details of the reformatory bill that is before this session of the legislature. Professor Bailey said that the uni- | versity in New Haven recognized to given to i him. Part of his time is devoted to work in the university and the rest 10 working for the state. Of the two, | he said, the latter was the more pleas- jant. It was about 1890, said Pro- l fessor Bailey, that there was a move- | ment started to establish a reforma- | tory for women in the state but it was { killed after a short struggle. The next heard of the movement was in 1910 when it again failed. i “It was four years ago(” said Pro- | fessor Bailey, “that former Governor |'S. E. Baldwin appointed a commnrit- }tee to study the situation, and after two years of work they reported in | favor of the institution. The bill { was drawn up and presented to the I\leglslature asking for $20,000 for {land and buildings but the appro- | priations committee scouted the idea. The Connecticut Prison association was not discouraged at this but ' de- cided {o keep on Yghting, so a com- mittee of fifteen women was ap- pointed and called the committee on delinquent women.

The | committee did everything that was | necessary and even appointed a num- | ber of sub-committees, each of which { carried on a certain amount of the ;Wol‘lh It was decided to call the : place the Connecticut State Farm for Women.” It makes no difference,” said Professor Bailey, “what you call the institution as the name soon falls into disrepute.’ Professor Bailey said that the rea- i son of favoring such an institution | is the fact that there is no state in- | stitution where a woman or girl oxer sixteen can be sent, with the excep- tion of the county jail or the state prison. The state prison is prepared to the jaill He told of the investiga- tlon at the New Haver county jail which is by Nno means a reformatory and is not even decent or sanitary, he saild. An old man was sent to this | jail because he was found sleeping | out of doors and the judge had no other place to send him. At the | time of his entrance he had an ulcer {on his ankle. This kind of an in- | stitution is not a proper place to send a person, said Professor Bailey, and | he added that the same conditions exXisted in most jails. | In regard to women arrested In houses of ill fame, Professor Bailey | stated that they sit around in the | eity court laughing and joking un- | less called to order. When they are riined the woman in charge pays the | amount and then they laugh and go | out to work just a little bit harder to { make up the amount of their fine. In this way there is no attempt at re- ! form. If they are sent to the county | jail upon their release they are some- {fimes met by hacks which carry them | back to the old life. Girls that have not associated with bad ones, come | out of these institutions far worse off ¢han when they went in and after they are twenty-one there is no place to send them where thers is the slightest hope of reformation. Girls that are not real bad have no place to be sent and the only choice left is the country jail, state prison or a fine, sald Professor Balley, who termed thesc institutions “just 2 training school for crime.” Thersa were any number of women sent to the jails last year, and some of them three or four times, but after they had sobered up they were allowed to go only to be sent back again. There is no attempt at reform in thesc methods, he sajd. It costs the State of Connecticut about $20,000 a ye#r for women who are sent to the county jails. The only result is to take the sense of shame away and the next time there is no fear of being sent back. Sceking $50,000 Appropriation. Professor Bailey said there are nine states having such institutions as i Connecticut needs. Massachusetts has had one for the past thirty years, New York for the same length of time and now Rhode Island has | passed a referendum to have such a reformatory. A copy of the proposed law was mailed to Dr. Catherine Bement Davis of New York whose only suggestion was that the part in regard to escaped prisoners be changed. She stated that it was the best law yet proposed In any state in the unton. The committee is asking for an ap- propriation of $50,000 to establish a state farm for women which will have at least 200 acres of land, explained Professor Bailey. It should be near the center of the state, he said, and within a reasonable distance of the railrond. Houses on these farms could be remodeled and adapted for the pur- poses of the reformatory. After a number of years the women could be transferred from the state prison but they would have to be kept in a building by themselves. Work on the farm would be the best thing in the world for the drink and drug fiends HERALD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1017. S —— ¢ ) —— would not try to escape. The cottage plan is to be followed and as the num- ber of inmates increase the number of cottages could also be increased. * Professor Bailey id that this insti- tution would co out 34 per week per person which includes the over- head charge. The merit system would be used and the prisoners wculd be taught to read and write or given in- structions along other lines. It would be up to the woman herself if she were to be released and she would be freed on parole if the board should so de- cide. This board would be composed of seven directors which would be clected for a term of seven years, ou new one to be elected’ each yea this board should also include tihree woulen memhers. It would be better to start on a small scale, said the speaker, and then if the plan proves useless it could be done away with. It s the hope of Professor Bailey that after the bill passes the legislature someone will provide the land and buildings and then {he entire appro- priation could be used for running the institution. As far as can lLe scen there is no opposition to the bill and even Governor Holcomb is in favor of having it passed. The only thing that might possibly throw it out for the present would be the (declaration of T, he said. 'The hearing for the bill 1s sét for the afternoon of February 21. Chicf and Judge Favor. Both Probation Officer Edward Con- noily and former Probation Oficer Iy man 8. Johnson hoth spoke in favor of the passage of this Lill and both ex- plained, from their many experiences in the police court, that a state re- formatory for women is an absolute necessity in reclaiming the lives of un- fortunates who come before the courts. Mr. Johnson spoke at lengta on con- ditions at the state prison at Wethors- fleld, declaring that it is in no way fit- ted to :are for delinquent females any more than is the county jail. Chief ‘Willlam J. Rawlings of the police de- partment likewise spoke on the need of such an institution and said that in his many years’ of police work he has seen countless instances where such a home for women who have crred would have been ideally humane. To cest a woman, not entirely bad, in wh eriminals of every stamp Is wreng in his opinion. Judge John H. Kirk- | himself in ham, deputy jndge of the police court said that from his discussions with cther judges ahout the state he finds that the general opinion-is strong for a woman's reformatory. He said he favors the plan and hopes it will pass the legislature. Uredict Rill's ¥ 8. Senitor George W. Kleft, chairman of the judiciary committee and leader of the senate, predicted that this bill will pass both houses and become a Jaw. Me pledged himself to work for its passaze and s-=id that Governor AMarcus H. Holcorah has expressed favor of the proposition. Representative Edward Hall - plained that in the house of repre- sentatives sentiment, as far as he can learn, is strongly in favor of passing a bill for a woman’s reformatory and e firmly helieves that the $50,000 ap- propriation will be granted. Miss Elsie . Osborn, woman pro- bation oificer, whe knows much of the irue conditions surrounding women arrested and hrought into court, was tikewise in favor of a woman’ matory, she said, and predicted that if it comes to pass it will have a real uplifting effect on the state. Resolutions Passed. Following the open forum meeting the following resolution was unani- mously pasced: Resolution: That the Commonwealth club of New Britain, in regular meet- ing asstmtled on the thirteenth ds of February, 1917, favors the estab- lishment of a woman’'s reformatory as provided by the bill drawn by the Con- necticut prison association by the state of Connecticut and the chairman is requested to sign this resolution and communicate same to the legisla- ture through our senator and repre- sentatives.
