This article presents information about the Report of the Directors of the Connecticut State Prison to the Governor of the State. The report says that the labor problem is still a difficult one but, notwithstanding legislation and prejudice against prison-made goods and prison labor, very excellent results have been obtained by the development of what is known as the state-use system. In this connection, directors wish to say that the Warden, Ralph H. Walker, is receiving fine cooperation from other state institutions and departments. Special attention is called to the splendid help given by the State Highway Department. Productive work is necessary to rehabilitation and should be provided for all able-bodied prisoners. The Connecticut report is refreshing contrast to reports from other States which has been issued in recent months. Too often the complaint is made that the lack of cooperation from other State institutions and departments makes it impossible to keep more than a small percentage of inmates employed. |
