Many were therefore sent who were not prop- erly fit inmates of a reformatory, but there was no provision made for the expense of their removal to other places better suited to them. The sentences of many who were suitable inmates were too short to secure real amendment in their lives. These were two points which at once called for changes. Concerning the latter, the secretary of the prison commission, W. F. Spalding, said : To change life-long habits and purposes and to implant new and better ...tastes, to strengthen against temptations, to create a desire for a better life, better amuse- ments, and better surroundings, better companionships — this is the work given to one who undertakes the reformation of a large proportion of the criminals. Yet it is sometimes expected that in a few weeks or months all the evil tendencies will be eradicated or overcome and the habits of life will be changed and the prisoner sent out of prison reformed. The law was afterwards changed so that women convicted of drunken- ness a second time might be sent to the reformatory for two years.
