What had any of these boys, white or black, done, in their isolation, their igno rance, their stunted moral growth, unfriended, untaught what had they done which gave society the right to seize their poor, starved lives and break and poison them in its foul prisons beyond hope of recovery for all time ? Even if we had the right, what good does it 166 IN BLACK AND WHITE do ? The veriest madman out of Bedlam would hardly claim that our convict camps benefit the prisoners : but do they deter other...s from crime ? The census of the United States can an swer that question ; and the prison records of all civilized countries will join with the penologists of the world in confirming what the census says. Every year a vast number of arrests are made, and a less vast number of prisoners are discharged. Less vast. Each year our prison population receives an added permanent deposit from this great stream of human misery and ignorance and sin, as it washes through those black and awful places where men already injured are permanently deformed.
