Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Annual Congress of the National Prison Association of the United States: Held at Nashville, November 16-20, 1889 At Nashville, for the first time in the history of the National Prison Association, the southern states were fairly well represented. Delegates were in attendance from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, and their presence contributed much to the pleasure and profit of this meeting. The audience which greeted President Hayes on the opening night was the largest which has ever assembled on any occasion, to hear the prison question discussed, and this in spite of a pouring rain. As time passes, it becomes evident that the influence of the Association is not measured by the number of its enrolled members. Its very existence is a constant reminder that the prison question is still unsolved, and is a stimulus to effort to find its solution. Yet the fact that crime increases, out of proportion to the growth of population, is not merely a demonstration of the inefficacy of our present methods of dealing with it; it is also an evidence either that the association has not yet uttered the true and needed word on tho subject, or that its utterances have not made their due impression on the public. Unnecessary arrests continue to be made, especially of children. Insufficient attention is paid to the prevention of crime. The relations between labor and capital have not received a satisfactory adjustment, and the number of the unemployed, from whom the ranks of crime are perpetually recruited, is far larger than it should be, in the public interest. Personal and partisan considerations have a disproportionate influence in the appointment of the police, the election of judges, (particularly in the minor courts), and the selection and retention of prison officials.
