ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIRST
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA PRISON SOCIETY
The 131st Annual Meeting of THE PENNSYLVANIA PRISON
SOCIETY was held at the office of the Society in the Forrest
Building, 119 South Fourth Street, Philadelphia, on the afternoon of
January 11, 1918, President Edw. M. Wistar in the Chair.
Twenty-two members were present.
The minutes of the 130th Meeting were read and approved.
The Report of the Acting Committee for the year 1917 was read by
the Secretary. It was approved and directed to be printed in the
Journal. (See pages 6-12.)
The Treasurer, John Way, presented a detailed statement of the
receipts and payments for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1917, accompanied by a schedule of the securities held for the
Society by the fiscal agent, The Provident Life and Trust Company.
The report has been duly audited and was accepted. (See page 13.)
On behalf of the Committee on Nominations, the Secretary
presented a list of nominations for the Officers of the Society, and for
members of the Acting Committee to succeed those whose terms
expire on February 1. The election being duly held, the persons
nominated were elected to the offices designated in the report of the
Committee. (See page 3.)
The Secretary informed the meeting that a number of county prisons
were profiting by an Act, introduced to the attention of the Assembly
by the State Board of Charities and which was promptly passed,
making it possible for prisoners confined in the county jails to be
released to work on land owned by the county. Eight counties report
that some of their inmates have been working on farms and that the
results have been very satisfactory. Fifteen counties have the subject
under consideration with a view of trying the experiment next
season. The law was approved in July, 1917, hence there was little
time to organize for the growing season of last year. Independently
of this law, the Court in a few counties had granted special parole to
some selected prisoners so that they might be employed on farms
either on land owned by the county or on land belonging to parties
who assumed the responsibility of caring for the paroled prisoners.
Regret was expressed that a bill designed to amend the law
providing for the Indeterminate Sentence, so that its provisions
would correspond more nearly to its title, failed to secure executive
sanction.
To nominate the Officers at the next Annual Meeting, the President
appointed Rev. J. F. Ohl, Austin C. Leeds, Marriott C. Morris, Mrs.
Mary S. Grigg and Mrs. Eliza M. Cope.
Albert H. Votaw,
Secretary.
REPORT OF ACTING COMMITTEE
FOR THE YEAR 1917
All the stated meetings of the Acting Committee for the year 1917
have been regularly held with an average attendance of about 16
members. We are gratified to report this apparent increase of
interest, indicated by a larger attendance than for several years past.
We are entirely aware that several of our very efficient members
have business engagements which make frequent attendance
impossible. It must also be remembered that some of our members
reside at a distance from the city. The presence of 10 members have
constituted a quorum, and no meeting has been held without the
number required for the legal transaction of business.
LEGISLATION.
The General Assembly of 1917 was notable for activity and interest
in reformatory legislation. The Acting Committee favored and urged
the passage of several measures, some of which have become law
in this Commonwealth.
An Act providing that any person held for costs or fines may, at the
discretion of the Court, be released, on agreeing to pay the said
charges by instalments, was passed by the Assembly and received
the sanction of the Governor.
An Act providing for the establishment of six industrial farms, to
which persons sentenced for the shorter sentences in the county
jails may be sent, amended by the substitution of nine instead of six,
was passed and received executive sanction.
An Act, urged by the Prison Reform League, and which received our
hearty sanction, providing for the appointment of a commission of
five persons to investigate prison systems in this commonwealth and
elsewhere, and to recommend such revision of the existing prison
system as may be deemed wise, for adoption by the next General
Assembly, was passed and approved by the Governor.
An Act, proposed by the State Board of Charities, providing that
prisoners may be released from county prisons to work on farms
belonging to the State or county was passed and received the
approval of the Governor. This Act shall remain in force during the
continuance of the present war. Already several counties have taken
advantage of this Act to the satisfaction of all parties concerned.
An Act, designed to render the present law more effective with
regard to the employment of prisoners in the manufacture of articles
for State use, we regret to report, perished in the Committee room.
An Act to abolish Capital Punishment passed in the Senate but failed
of passage in the House.
An Act amending the present law in regard to the Indeterminate
Sentence, so that its provisions may more nearly harmonize with its
title, was approved by both Houses of the Assembly, but was vetoed
by the Governor.
While we are deeply gratified to report progress, we shall continue
our efforts to secure from the next Assembly favorable action in
regard to the measures which failed to become statutory in 1917.
Public sentiment is a plant of slow growth. Possibly our propositions
may have been defective in some particulars. With some slight
modification or embellishment, we believe all the measures we have
endorsed will soon have place among the statutes of the
Commonwealth.
A synopsis of these measures with some explanation and comment
will be found elsewhere in the Journal of which this report forms a
part.
We desire to acknowledge the valuable services of the Prison
Reform League in preparing bills and in conducting hearings before
the Committee of the Assembly.
DISCHARGED PRISONERS.
The majority of the prisoners who are released from the State Penal
Institutions are dismissed on parole. They are under supervision by
the Parole Officers from a few months to some years. Most of these
paroled persons have some definite place of employment in view. It
may be supposed that the operation of the law of parole has to a
considerable extent relieved this Society from former obligations in
behalf of the released prisoner. Admitting the value of this work of
Parole, we still have a mission for the discharged prisoners.
VISITATION.
POLICE MATRONS.
Over thirty years ago, our Acting Committee began to urge that
matrons should be employed at the Police Stations in order to care
for the women and children who might be arrested or who might ask
for assistance. A few matrons were at first appointed in some of the
districts where there seemed to be especial need of such help, but at
this time nearly every Station House in the city has secured the
services of such an official.
Our Committee on Police Matrons constitute our delegation to the
Associated Committee of Women on Police Matrons, an organization
which meets in the offices of the Society on the second Wednesday
of each month. The members of this Association make regular visits
to the Matrons, and co-operate with them in their work. They
endeavor to secure improved accommodations in the Stations and
also to supply the immediate needs of the unfortunate ones who are
brought to these Stations either for shelter or for trial. The following
associations each send three delegates to compose this body.
The Women’s Christian Temperance Union.
The Young Women’s Christian Association.
The Mother’s Club.
The Philomusean Club.
St. Paul’s Aid Society.
Married Women’s Sodality of Gesu Church.
Hathaway Shakespeare Club.
The Pennsylvania Prison Society.
MEETING OF WARDENS.
EMPLOYMENT OF PRISONERS.
The meetings of this Association were held this year November 19-
23 at New Orleans. There was a good attendance, most of the
States being represented by delegates or otherwise. The Secretary
of this Society was present as a delegate from Pennsylvania
appointed by the Governor and also as a member of the
Commission appointed to investigate methods of prison
administration. The meetings were both interesting and profitable,
and a summary of the proceedings prepared by the Secretary will be
appended to this Report. (See pages 93-102.)
COUNTY PRISONS.
DIETETICS.
There is much complaint from almost every penal institution of the
Commonwealth in regard to the character of the food and the
manner of its preparation and serving. Denunciation of the food is a
perennial charge and is common to all public institutions. It is just
dawning on the minds of prison boards and officials that it is sound
economy to keep the prisoners in health and that nourishing and
palatable food conduces to health. The inmates have abundant time
both to prepare the food and to serve it in accordance with approved
sanitary methods. When it has been shown that such improvement
can be made in the quality and wholesomeness of the food without
increasing the cost, our prison officials have been willing to give
some attention to the matter. The need of a balanced ration to be
determined by a food specialist is beginning to be recognized. There
is no thought of providing a luxurious menu, or of adding materially
to the cost of provisions. Government is easier when the prisoners
are satisfied with the diet.
We commend to the serious attention of officials and managers of all
our public institutions, whether for the convict, the blind, the insane,
the destitute, the subject of the appointment of an expert dietitian
who shall supervise the selection and the preparation of the food,
believing the results will amply justify the expense involved whether
considered from the standpoint of health or economy.
