By W. C. GRAVES, General Superintendent. The State of Illinois has committed for the year 1916 to the Illinois State Reformatory 568 inmates. The statute says I shall have charge of these inmates ; shall disicpline, govern, instruct, employ, and use my best efforts to reform them. The statute further provides that it shall be my duty to provide for a thorough training of each and every in- mate in the common branches of an English education; also in such trade or handicraft as will enable the inmate upon his release to earn his own support. It is not my purpose in this pamphlet to enter into an extended discussion as to the cause or cure of crime, but to submit an exact statement of a personal study of the education, mentality, a history of the parents, the previous record, age and habits of the inmates commit- ted to my charge, so that the public will know, as near as possible, the kind of young men committed to this institution for the purposes of reformation. I have not furnished the vocational education of the in- mate, because the percent is so small that a statement is not necessary, except to state that out of 568 inmates there were only 12 who ever had a vocational training, or had mastered any trade. A personal study of each of these inmates, from facts furnished by this pamphlet, will furnish food for considerable thought, research, and study by those who are interested in making over boys and men. After making a careful personal study of these recent cases I sub- mit without discussion, or expressing the relative importance of each cause the following as being the most frequent conditions resulting in 361908 crime : Laziness, environment, deficient mentality, deficient education, lack of vocational training, loss of parents, (by death or separation), intemperance, inherited criminal instincts; sensational literature and industrial conditions. PREVENTIVE MEASURES. A thoughtful study of the following propositions relative to re- ducing crime is of vital importance. Parental schools, juvenile courts, court probations, compulsory ed- ucation, more stringent laws relative to the purchase of firearms, voca- tional training in public schools, prompt execution of the law so as to retain its deterrent value, speedy indictments and trials, and separate institutions for morons, subnormals and defectives. THE CURE. The following subjects should be discussed and considered by those who are interested in the causes of crime, preventive measures and the cure for crime : Should a jury or judge be permitted to fix the minimum term that an inmate must serve ? Should a jury or judge be permitted to fix the maximum term that an inmate must serve? Should a jury or judge be permitted to fix both the minimum and maximum term that an inmate must serve ? Under what conditions should a criminal be admitted to court pro- bation ? What are the most important things to be considered before ad- mitting a criminal to probation ? In Cook county should there not be a separate court who should investigate and consider all court probations? Can reformatories and penal institutions properly treat and handle morons, subnormals and defectives? Of what value toward the reformation of a criminal is self-gov- ernment in our corrective and penal institutions? Of what value is the honor system inside the walls as compared with the honor system outside? In counties outside of Cook county should there not be a parole officer for each county in order that regular visits may be made to those both on court probation and parole ? In Cook county should there not be sufficient parole officers pro- vided with sufficient funds to personally visit at least once a week each person on parole? Should not "repeaters" be considered habitual criminals and in- dicted, tried, convicted and sentenced as such, under the habitual crim- inal act? Should habitual criminals or "repeaters" be admitted to parole? Should not "repeaters" be required to serve the maximum term of their sentence by direction of a court or jury ? Should a prisoner, who has violated his parole by committing a felony, be granted more than one parole, and if so, how many? Under the head of "Previous Records" the following abbrevia- tions are used: H. C. House of Correction. M. O. Minor Offenses. J. W. John Worthy School. Ct. Prob. Court Probation. St. Chas. St. Charles School for Boys. Co. Jail. County Jail. Par. Sch. Parental School. Ref. Reformatory. Pen. Penitentiaries. The figures show the number of times the inmate was committed.
