In others \ words, it is the degree rather than the fact of V ^ — pimishment that makes our criminals go to \ prison with a grievance.
Then, after sending many hundreds of men yearly to prison, each one with a certain per- centage of punishment which it is not humanly possible to fit exactly to the facts of his case, we let them out of prison and back into society without the smallest guarantee as to whether they are able to "make good'* or have the slightest intention of "going straight." J Im...agine a hospital at the entrance of which stands the oflfice of the doctor. Into this office steps every patient who is to be admitted to the hospital. The doctor diagnoses each case as carefully as he can, in view of his crowded waiting- ^ room; and then prescribes for each, in advance, the exact period of time he is to remain in the hospital. To this man, sick with the measles, he allots three weeks; this one, with small-pox, three months; this one, with a case of the grippe, two weeks; this one, with tuberculosis, — well, a man with a severe case the doctor considers too much of a bother, so he kills the tubercular patient and gets him off his mind and out of the way.
