Unfortunately, the Wilson brand of humanity has not yet touched the federal prisons. They are rotten. If you are worth your salt as an inspector of prisons, you must know it Your criticism of Sheriff Hodge, if we under- tand it, is that he has not been inhuman enough. The federal prisons do not err in that direction. From them strong men come out broken by long confinement in steel cages. From them pure souls come out vile. In them every brutality is practiced. In them loathsome disease is rampant. Why don’t you do some inspecting there, Mr. Fishman?
