She is one of the few States that by law prohibits the use of the whip and 

strap�察�taking the position that it is better to use kindness than to resort to 

brutal measures。 I have often been told�察�and that�察�too�察�by old prison men�察�

that    it  was   impossible     to  run   a   prison   and    have   first´class    discipline 

without   the   whip。   Such   is   not   my   experience。   We   have   had   within   our 

walls   perhaps   as   desperate   men   as   ever   received   a   sentence。   We   have 

controlled them�察�and have maintained a discipline second to none in   the 

country�察�How did we accomplish this�拭�Our answer is�察�by being kind but 

firm�察  �treating   a   man�察  �although   he   may   be   a   prisoner�察  �as   a   man。   If   he 

violates   rules�察  �lock   him   up。   Give   him   an   opportunity   to   commune   with 

himself      and   his   Maker�察    �also   give   him    to   understand     that   he   is  the 

executioner of his own   sentence�察 �and   when he   concludes that he   can   do 

right�察�release him。 It matters not how vicious�察�how stubborn�察�or what kind 

of   a  temper     he   may    have�察  �when     left  with   no   one   to  talk   to�察 �and   an 

opportunity to cool down�察�and with a knowledge that when he comes to 

the conclusion that he will do better he can be released�察�he leaves the cell 

feeling   much   different   than   the   prisoner   who   leaves   the   whipping´post�察�

after having received any number of lashes that a brutal officer may desire 

to inflict。 One goes to his work cheerful�察�and determined to behave himself�察�

the   other   dogged�察  �revengeful�察  �completely   humiliated�察  �and   only   lives   in 

hope   that   he   may   at   some   time   take   his   revenge   upon   the   person   that 

ordered   or   inflicted   the   punishment�察  �and   upon   the   State   or   country   that 

would�察�by its laws�察�tolerate such a brutal or slavish practice。;

                                     CHAPTER V 



                              SUNDAY IN THE PRISON 

     A  prisoner   is   always   thankful   for the   Sabbath。  He has been   working 

hard   all   week�察  �and   Sunday   affords   the   opportunity   of   resting。   On     the 

Sabbath morning�察�the bell for rising rings at eight o'clock。 At its ringing 

each person must rise and dress�察�he is not permitted to do so before it rings。 

If   he   gets   tired   of   remaining   in   his   bunk   so   late   as   eight   o'clock�察  �and 

should wish to get up and dress�察�it would do him no good�察�it would be a 

violation of   rules   and   result   in   punishment。 After   the   prisoner   is   up   and 

dressed�察�he washes and marches out in ranks to breakfast。 It is hash�察�hash�察�

hash�察  �for   Sunday   breakfast�察  �the   same   as   any   other   day�察  �except   once   a 

month it is codfish hash instead of beef hash。 After breakfast�察�instead of 

going from the dining´room to work�察�the prisoners are marched back into 

their cells where they remain until time for chapel exercises。 

     There is a dining´room for the prisoners and another for the officers。 

The room where the prisoners dine is a large hall capable of seating fully 

twelve hundred men。 Each table is long enough to accommodate twenty 

men�察�and resembles an ordinary school´desk。 There are no table´cloths or 

napkins�察�nothing but a plain�察�clean board。 The table furniture consists of a 

tin quart cup�察�a small pan of the same precious metal�察�which holds the hash�察�

an iron knife�察�fork and spoon。 No beautiful silverware adorns this table�察�on 

the contrary�察�all the dining service is very plain and cheap。 The convicts 

are   marched   into   the   dining´room   in   divisions�察  �and   seated   at   the   table。 

Here they remain in perfect silence�察�with their heads bowed。 

     No talking or gazing about the dining´room is permitted。 After all the 

divisions are in and seated�察�the deputy Warden taps a small bell�察�and the 

convicts begin   the   work of   ;concealing the   hash。;   Before   the   men   enter 

the dining´room the coffee�察�bread and hash are placed on the table for each 

man。   The   prisoners   are   given   all   the   food   they   can   eat。   It   is   not  the 

quantity�察�but the quality�察�that is objectionable。 

     If more bread is wanted�察�instead of calling out ;Please pass the bread�察─�

the convict holds up his hand�察�and the waiter comes along and puts a piece 

of   bread   in   it。   He   gets   but   a   pint   of   coffee�察  �and   if   he   wishes   a   second 



                                               50

supply   he   holds   up   his   cup   and   it   is   refilledbut   with   water   instead   of 

coffee。 If he wishes more hash he holds aloft his meat dish�察�and an officer 

hands him a large pan of hash�察�out of which he fills his dish。 Not a word is 

spoken during   the   meal。 Ample   time   is   given   the   convicts   to   get   all   the 

food they desire�察�then the deputy warden�察�who occupies a raised seat at the 

end   of   the   dining´room�察  �taps   a   small   bell�察  �and   the   men   march   out   in 

divisions�察  �back   to   their   cells   on   Sunday   mornings�察  �and   to   their   work   on 

week days。 

     Breakfast over�察�and the men in their cells�察�the choir�察�which leads the 

singing and furnishes the instrumental music for the occasion�察�is taken out�察�

and�察  �under   the   watchful   care   of   an   officer�察  �is   conducted   to   the   chapel 

where   they   practice   until   time   for   the   regular   services。   The   choir   was 

composed of convicts who could sing�察�regardless of the crimes for which 

they were sent to prison。 I recollect at one time we had two horse´thieves�察�

two rapistsone with a sentence of forty yearsthree murderers�察�two hog´ 

thieves�察�and several others of equally  villainous records�察�and�察 �last of   all�察�

the author� �But this choir will compare favorably with some of the high´ 

toned church choirs outside� �To return�察�think of such a choir singing�此�

        ;Oh�察�how happy are they�察             �Who their Saviour obey�察            �And have 

laid up their treasures above� ─�

     At eleven o'clock�察�the   prison bell rings�察�and the men are marched   in 

ranks to the chapel。 When the first division or company reaches the room 

where the services are to be held�察�the string band commences to play�察�and 

as the divisions march   in one after another they are greeted with   music。 

The instruments used are a piano�察�organ�察�violin�察�cornet and bass viol。 Very 

fine music is rendered by the prison band。 All being seated�察�the chaplain�察�

the   Rev。   Dr。   Crawford�察  �a   genuine   Christian   and   God´fearing   man�察  �rises�察�

and in his happy style r
