Who are these prisoners? Why are they in prison? Some of these prisoners are crim nals under the civil law, men who would have been convicted by a jury of their peers in a civil court; but the large majority are boys who have committed no crime whatever They Me in foul prisons because junder our court-martial system a man does not have to be convicted of ja crime to be imprisoned.
