Police Judge Crawford has some decided
opinions regarding the pressing needs of a
workhouse In this rlty. He Is firm in his
conviction that the establishment of such
an Institution Is on of the paramount local
issues. The Judge has been making an In
vestlgatlon of the operation of workhouses
and similar Institutions in other cities. iThe
tpparrnt pleasure with which many vag
rants and hoboes have been receiving
thirty-day sentences recently In the police
court set the Judge thinking and the more
he has thought It over' the more he has
become convinced there never was a time
In the city's history when the needs for a
workhouse were greater than at the pros
ent time. Judge Crawford Saturday morn
ing said:
"The interest being -taken In a work-,
he'ise for petty criminal Is most gratify
ing' to me and must be to nil who have at
heart the safety and good order of our
city. The time Is exceedingly propitious
for. this discussion, Not only will public
sentiment approve any wise plan for fur
nishing work for city convicts, but that
same sentiment will, I believe, approve a
liberal bond Issue for the erection of a
modern and adequate house of" correction,
reformatory or workhouse.
City Jail Inadequate.
"That our present city Jail Is absolutely
Inadequate for any purpose except a place
Of detention pending trial Is admitted upon
all hands. No work of reformation or cor
rection Is possible there. Quite the re
verse, the present city Jail Is a place of
contamination. To confine a youth there
who retains any rpark of virtue Is an of
fense against him and against the commu
nity of which he is to be a part when re
leased. I say this In no spirit of criticism
of our polio department. It is the result
of using for a city Jail a building Intended
fqr an entirely different purpose and In no
respect fitted for its present use. The fact
Is recognised and regretted more keenly
by police authorities than In any other
quarter.
"The taw Imposes punishment upon a
convict for two purposes only, the reforma
tion of the prisoner and the protection of
society from him until he Is reformed.
Punishment that does not tend towards
the accomplishment of both la Inadequate,
expensive, futile and wasteful.
First e Toward Bolatloa.
The first step and a long on toward
the solution of Omaha's difficulties with
the criminal classes la an adequate build
ing and grounds properly equipped to
maintain prisoners under condition which
will tend to make useful cltliens of them;
Disease, filth, drink and drugs, Idleness and
bad company are the potent factors In the
making of a criminal. Given a place where
disease can be combatted and filth removed;
wher drink and drugs are out of reach,
and wher Idleness gives place to sys
tematic labor, and you have a place wher
the community Is protected from the
criminal and more Important still you
have given the prisoner a chance to re
form. "How much the first cost of such a build
ing will be I do not know. But I do know
that Omaha Is In the midst of the most
substantial and lasting progress, that the
year upon which we leave Just entered
will mark the greatest stride towards the
building of a metropolis that this com
munity has ever known. I know before tho
maturity1 of bonds Issued this year for a
workhouse that the Institution will be
outgrow and Inadequate to the needs of
the city, whether . we expend 126.000 or
60,000."
