Prison Reformer Tells ofEducation of a Criminal

Haw was Mr. 'I'annenbaum/s, lecturerecetvedr 'I'her-e has. 'been much dis-cussion and' crfttctsm of It since Tues-day. The general opmtcn Is that thelecture was not primarily intended torcollege people. He took half an hourImpressing upon college mtnde thetheory which they hrad learned in be-g-l nnirrg- Psychology-that of ha-bit fot'-matton. The audience would have beenSol) much more Interested if he had toldus about prisons and prison rerorm asscheduled for 'h e must <have a vaststore of l nter-estfng knowledge on thesubject. Another criticism 'Was. tha tthe lectur-e was not genera! enough-there ar-e many types ofl crtmtnats. wewere shown f uat one, of th-es.e. Besideshuman nature is not as! simple as hedescri'bed-there are .many, man,y in·tel'woven \lSyc'hological factors entel'-ing- in to the making of a criminal.

Be[ore kWll'ching uponl his subject,i\olr. Tannenbaum mentioned briefly thework of the late Thomas Matt Osborn,who gaJ\'-e hims<elf so heartily to acause which mos.t people n.eglect-thecause of the Cl'iminals. .Mr. Osbornwa.<; concerned with the problem. of thel'econstruction of n1.'Om'51hwbolts for lhe!,[·ood.and he has left a. lasting ltl,llu-ence on, fwel'y cl'iminal WIth Whom heca,me in contact.

]\fl'. 'l'annenbaum desct'i:bed in avl\'id ::Lnd im])l'eSs'ivB' manner lIhe fun~cl:amental factorS determining the de-\'elopment ot: an dndividual into acriminal. He spok£'! of thoEllpr.of€-sslon-ul criminal mainly, and sald' that hisCf\l'eel' us'uaHy began a.s a chil:d'. As achild, he is usually sUlbject to the in-lluE'nces of a bad envIronment, andspend.s most of his lime ,in. the Sltr-eets,The speake'r declared tha.t it is theduty of the family unH to Instm goodhabits into the minds' Olf itS' children,and' that when the parentS' are unableto "do this for their chlldre-n, !ba'(1're-sults ensue. The child! soon pickSl upall the vices of th€' Sllr€oe-t,espec,iallythat of stealing, an.d be.fore we knQl\vit, he is arreste.c1and sent to a. juvenjlle])rote-etora.te where he is subject torigid sup.ervis'ion and dlscipHne-. Atthis point 1\11', Tannenbaum said thatreform instituti'Ons as a whole are a.ptto- do mOl'e harm. than good.. becausethey enforce such stern discipline thatthe retor,ffi, sch-ool inmates ha,ve nooutlets [01' thE'll' f.eelings, and areo,bliged' to o'btain their own fun secret~ly.

POll I'Charlie Ben;18 didn't have an or-lglun IIdea or a conviction of his own in hishead, He wasn't born; he was painted.He was a carbon-cour of evervc-iewhom he had ever met; evt n the goldwho loved him t otd him that.

and those who demand a racy u-atn ofevents to hold their Interest might goaw'ay unsatisfied, but, personally, \\"~have seldom fIelt so real a thrill in thetheatre as we clid when S'kee[~rcrawled through the circus tent, andpushed the man he had grown up tobe, into the backgl'ouncl.

PRISON REFORMER TELLS OFEDUCATION OF A CRIMINAL(CorlCluded trom, page 1: C01UIIl1I 1,)

the young man, for he is a man. by thistime, is released from the reformatory,a nd once more returns to' the old"g'a ng'v-c-the- only friends glad to seehim back. Here he continues hissteallng, for there ts nothing else forhim to do, and soon growa to be atough and hardened young criminal.The speaker then described the onlypossabte outcome ror such a career-s-Sing Si~<>'-and impressed upon us thefact that state prisons do very littlefor then- pr-Isoner-s, unless It is to makethem even wor-se crtmtnars than theywere before their imprisonment. Mr.Tannenbaum went on to say that theor tglna.l reason. for the estarbltshme ntof prisons wa s to refor-m the criminals-to give him time to .medtta te overhis past sins' a.nd repent, but that upto the preS'eTllt tjme very few criminalshave been r-efor-med' in that manner,He saId that the main reason whythese r-efor-m, Instrtuttona have failedis because they 'have taken the youthand cut him off eO'mpletelY from hisrelations with the wor-ld. Thus. cut offfrom the world', he thinks, but only interms of 'his past experiences outsideo-f th-e pr-Ison, and! S'O when alga-iru re-leased, ohe once ,more reverts to hisformer evil haJblts, Mr. Tannenfbaumemphasized the fact that the priSOI-:SCofto-day are p.e:rpetuating the youngman's crimina.l tendencies instead ofun.making them. 'He closedl his ad-ell'ess by saying that what the prisonsof to-day need are anti-SlttmiIi, tocounteract the criminal haJbits of theprisoners.
