Winifred Mason Huck, tormer con. gresswoman and the first woman to preside over the house of representa- tives, got herself sentenced to prison. Guiltless of any crime, she sought Rnswers to the questions— Are our prisons humane? Can a girl, crushed by her fellow men, regain her place in soclety? This is the I8th story, written for the Herald. By WINNIFRED MASON HUCK Former Representative to Congress From Tllinols Among the prison reforms Mesperately needed is segregation of prisoners, If inmates of our jails could be grouped according to the degree of their crime and their previous rec- ords, the prisons would turn out fewer offenders with a return ticket, But segregation takes more build- ings, more attendants, in short, more money; and the public is just & bit dublous about the wisdom of *gquandering money on prisons.” That money spent on reforming eriminals is the best possible invest- ment for protecting public welfare never secems to occur to the mass of the taxpayers. Soclal Deficit Every offender is a part of our mocial fabrics. Every wrongdoer turned to the right is a social deficit turned to an asset, And soclety needs every asset that money, kindness, intelligence and science can bring it. The pardon and parole laws though still in their infancy, are, T believe, the greatest institutions of the age in the development of jus- tice and reform. Through my own prison experi- ence, I have come to know that the prisoner who is let out earlier than he had expected, who is paroled up- on his honor, who is brought be- as Governor Donahey appeals to every prisoner he pardons, has s better chance to ‘“come back' than if he were turned out in the regular Wway at the end ot his term. €ss meals warm summer even- ings and jaded appetites, you want mild-flavored dish~ es.

Vanguarl of Reform In this respect particularly, but also in many other phases of prison rule, Governor Vie Donahey of Ohlo | has been in the vanguard of reform. He even employs a number of the conviets whom he pardons to work about his ofifce and his home. | As an ex-convict, T was met more [than half way by employers and new acquaintances, 1 was met in this way because T had every Intention ot going straight | Mow do peopls know? That T can- not tell, but it is sensed by employ- lers and others who are constantly meeting strangers, such as the workers of the Y. W. €. A, travel- ers' aid sccretaries and hotel man- | agers. Most assuredly, the ex-convict ean come back. Society wants to help him, and from my experience, the individual does help him, that is, it the conviet has first won his fight |with himselt. First Fight If he cannot win the first fight, it he cannot bring himself to the polnt where he wants to be good, where he is willing to strive, to be humble, even to ask for, charity rather than steal or break other |laws, then he and soclety are bet- {ter off with him in jail. What is wrong with soclety?” A good deal, though we are today liv- ing in the best age that the world has vet known, There is more lkindness, Justice | and equality than ever before. But the room for improvement even now ts unlimited. Sclenca and surgery have done a great deal to reduce crime, But as yet they have touched the fringe of the possibill- {ties that lfe ahead. Soclety has been |over-cautions in grasping the solu- |tions that science and surgery can offer for its crime problems The subject 18 almost unexplored 1f it is approached in an open-mind- ed spirit, i may point the wat to a erimeless world, Sterilization a Cure There one solution that science | has offered which is blocked in many states by superstition and con- ventionality — the sterilization of eriminals Ignorance of the methods of sterilization, which can now be ef- fected without the slightest per- sonal injury, is the basis of the violent opposition which this meas- ure has recefved when it was pre«j sented to leglslatures. Normal Mind Every child has the right to a normal mind and body at birth. Tt is a crime against posterity and | against the individual children themselves for soclety to allow the moral weaklings 6f each generation to pass on their heritage of weak- ness to future generations, i We make some effort to protect the children of the future by intro- ducing eugenic laws and prohibiting the marriage of first cousins, etc. But we seem particularly stupid |when we are faced ‘with this pro- blem of protecting the children of the future from a crime of moral !weakness, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1925 SOCIETY MUST HELP IF MAN FROM PRISON IS TO REFORM 11 4 I.low long will we sleep?
