Veteran Keeper Lauds Prison Reforms »•* ♦ * * After More Than Half a Century as Keeper in Sing Sing, Alfred Conyes Finds Humane Rules Better for Discipline Than Primitive Means.

Ossining, N. Y. March 10 —The (lays when crime was discouraged by prison brutalities, mention of which makes one thankful for this enlightened age of reforms, are re- ! called by the retirement from the '!staff of'Sing Sing Prison. New York 'of Keei>er Alfred Conyes after half a century of service. When Mr. Conyes first began work at the prison in 1879, offendicrs against society were made to realize, by almost primitive means, that dishonesty is foolish. Convicts j were compelled to walk in lockstep, jhad their heads shaved, were for [bidden to talk to each other and i tad to wear the striped suit. In I those days when the illumination in ■ the prison was supplied by oil lamps living conditions in the famous inIstitution were such that it could [not be .ruthfully said of it ‘Stone Iwa’ls u;> not a prison make.” The cells, when Conyes began his ; apprenticeship, measured 6 feet 11 inches long. 6 feet 7 inches high and 13 feet 6 .inches wide —the smallest area in which it was possible to kennel a human being. Yet these i cells were often occupied by two men sleeping one over tlte other hi bunks. It was the custom to lock the men ; in these little cubbies a .ter chapel ion Sunday, and leave them there until Monday morning feeding them .behind the bars. Often there was a [ holiday on Monday, in which case | they remained confined until Tttesiday. To make matters worse, there was no plumbing in the cells so one can imagine what the sanitary and health conditions were like. The phrase "Up the River" was I enough to strike terror into the [heart of the most hard-boiled yegg 'of those days. It meant that he was facing months, years or a lifetime [of the monotony that batters and destroys reason. Conyes has seen many reforms. Today conversation is not only permitted among prisoners, but actually encouraged during their hours of recreation. They are no longer com- 1 polled to wear the striped monstrosity that once branded the felon nor are their tonsorial styles dictated by the prison barber. No longer 'are they driven like automatons in 'the degrading lockstep. Living conditions, too. have [changed. If many of the old lags ronld come back from Valhalla ' hey'd rever know the old home. I Roses bloom in what was once the ‘prison tnorgile under the practiced ’ [ hand of a “lifer.” Cells can no lor. I ger be recognized as such, if one i will just disregard the bars, tor 'ARLENE DRAVES’ SISTER FAINTS I [ I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ’ i her of the prosecution staff before [today, Freund held the attention ’[of the packed courtroom begging [each of the jurors by name to rconvict Kirkland. , ;i Freund, pacing before the jury , bo: . stepped before A E. Lpp. Valj raralso farmer, pointed a finger at him and said:

Bin Fl & ■; 11 IE Oto •CKSTEP ——— I r ?f v ” -a j Sing Sings Modern School Alfred Conyes*. After more than fifty year, of service on the staff of Sing Sing p: ison, Alfred Conyes returns to private life. The veteran keeper sees present-’ day humane methods more conducive to reform than the primitive m?sn» of other days when prisoners, treated like brute beasts, acted like such, and last prison embittered against the world. The lockstep is now abolished and prisoners are taught in prisots schools how to become useful citizens.

: there are curtains in Hie corner. Cells are furnished with the most I up-to-date lavatories and sanitary equipment ; they are heated in Winj ter and well ventilated <n summer, i Not only that, but the Inmates are [treated like human beings. They have a dramatic class .which periodically puts on somf good shows; .'a baseball team and are encourap- , cd to pursue a useful hobby. News- ; papers, magazines and books are , supplied to men of good behavior. : SmoHng is permitted nt certain : times and good wholesome food is • I served. The greatest boon how- ! "You were chosen for this jury ( ' because you arc tlie father of » married daughters and sympaIthetic by nature. You have sat 'lon two other juries which return1 not guilty verdicts in murder eases, but you also were on a jury 1 that sent a man to prison for life ; for taking a human life during a ’ holdup. “I know you will see justice done.” Then. Freund_ advanceil along the fury box to John Tredy, a bachelor farmer, and talked to him.

'• |ever, Is that prisoners are allowed tto receive and write letters under y I strict censorship, of course. '■ All of these changes, the veteran keeper avers, have been beneficial, i Prisoners are easier to handle -. | than in the old days; when they . ; were treated like brute beasts they behaved as such. Z Credit or many miracle-working e ; reforms, Conyes adds, is due to tne . present warden, Mr. Lawes, who has n (shown that by humane methods it Sjis possible to find the bit of good - that is hidden away in everybody. V "I selected ydtt," said Freund, f ' because i know yon loved your - mother. You wouldn't marry liet cause you wouldn't leave her." i-: To Klbert Anderson, another r : bachelor farmer, F'reuad said; y "1 have seen you at dances ■ • where others were drunk, but you a never were.” The other jurorn Freund also e addressed in turn. Four or five he told it was 'unthinkable that you g haVe in your home such a a party as this one at which Arlene i. Draves met her death.”
