house Tries New and Novel
Plan, For Charges,
Wilmington, Dot, April 24. A prison
where every man ia on his personal
parole day aad night; where guards ars
few and rule are rarely brokea; where
lif-tormrs work aagnarded outaids
the prisoa wails, aad where punishment,
whea needed is decided on nnd adminla-
tored by the prisoners this is ths New
Caatl County Workhouse, ia . the out
skirts ef this erty, where a remarkable
experiment ia penology is being carried
out by a warden wko believe mea th
world over are be lag drives to crime
by existing prison methods.
The New Castle County Workhouse
this month' roand oat its first year
under the direction ef Mordeeai 8.
Plummer, the warden 'who' instituted
the "honor system" ..in May, 1920.
There are today 337 prisoners, slightly
mora tbaa half of then colored. '
Mb. Pummep believe ' That; etmie h
a mental asTlktios aad that man ess
be "eured" by -proper treatment. He
believe that 95 per teat ef the mea la
prisons are morally sound and that
only 8 per seat arc "Incurable." It ii
US theory that unary and annum la
tere at shown1 in n prisoner Inspire him
with the- conviction that society i his
friend, not hi enemy aad that h will
respond by becoming a useful member
of society.' Is a recent sddress to the
Stete legislature la behalf . of a parole
i I : i .a . I ( ... .
utw similar mj ihv one cnacieu lu tt is-
eonain, no declared:
. "Most 'jails are schools of vice, hot
beds of 'disease, leprous, foul sad im
moral, where abnormal conditions psr
vert aad unbalance the mind, where
mea become mere elemental beasts aad
where initiative and energy is sapped."
- Ia ths carrying out ef Wardea Plum
mer' e theory, the internal affairs of the
workhouse sre administered by the
prisoners themselves, through sn "honor
committee of eight men, whose chair
man ia a man serving eighteen years
for manslaughter had which includes on
its membership three "life termers"
There are various sub-eommittees oa
cleanliness, morals, recreation nnd other
matters.
A prisoner who breaks a rule is re
corted, tried by the eemmittee, which
sits every night, and punishment is
meted but. This tskss the form of par
tial withdrawal of privileges and, ia
extreme ostracism by th other prison
ors, which it la declared, ia the punish
ment felt most keenly. Ths culprit is
represented by counsel at these hear
ings sad may appeal to th wardea, but
rarely doe.
There srt now only six gusrds in th
institution. These are in the main
stationed at the door and carry the
keys. The prisoners have their meals
and recreation without a guard present,
do their work unguarded aad leave in
batches for work oa tbo surrounding
farms with one of their own number in
charge. Ia the tailor shop, 180 mea
work all day long under the sole super
vision of men selected by themselves.
The prison is scrupulously clesn.
Ths men hsv a band of 25 pieces,
a glee club, two bs so ball teams snd
dramatis societies. They srs allowed
visitors st any time when it will not
interfere witk their work, and may be
seen in ths corridors near the entranr
conversing freely with relatives. Gifts
are not restreeted. "They ran bring
them dynamite if they want," said tht
warden. "It wouldn't be used."
In th main corridor is a store where
candy, tobacco, soap, toilet articles
(including rssors) biscuits snd novelties
are sold st cost.
The prisoners work eight hour n day
snd hav from 0:30 until 9 p. m. for
recreation, ia addition to having free.
access to ths ysrd or reereatioa rooms
during ths day when tasks sre fiaisked
ahead of time or are temporarily kick
ing. '
Only six prisoners have attempted to
escape nnder the "honor system. Three
of these were recaptured aad punished
by their fellows.
O ths Satuglay half holiday, base
ball games ar played, w)th outside
teams somstimes present, snd many
spectators, . On Sundays, church ser
vices .of every denomination are held.
In fact, th "honor system" I based oa
th Bible, Warden Plummer say a, and
it i to religious influence h looks for
kis results. '
The prison's work is not finiahed on
