To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Washington, D. C, the total capacity claimed by the authorities was 320, while the total population was 474 — a bad example for the capital city of the nation. In Chicago, Illinois, there were 434 men in 368 cells, with 39 boys in a congregation by themselves. In Indianapolis, Indiana, 143 men and 16 women in 54 cells. There were 2 boys, and children are kept in the women's depart- ment. In Terre Haute, Indiana, there were 73 men in 35 cells, and the visitor says there have been 1 10 at a ti...me in this jail. In Marion, Iowa, a small jail, built with 4 cells for men, had 20 men. No jail in Kansas is reported as crowded. Is that because it is virtually a prohibition State? But the jails of Kansas are not models. Rural and village jails usually have space enough for health, but they are among the worst for vile familiarities of association. The ordinary standard for judging whether a jail is crowded or not is too bad for a stable or cow shed, much less for human beings. This common standard is that, so long as men can find room in bunk, hammock or on stone floor, with a news- paper for a mattress, the place is spacious enough.
