The most valuable contributions in some respects, is the report of the
Industrial Commission on “Prison Labor,” Washington, D. C., in the
brief part which deals with what is not prison labor at all, but the
labor of convicts outside of prisons--building and repairing roads--an
employment which meets the demands of intelligent and practical
reasoners, and seems to solve the problem of prison labor from a
humanitarian standpoint. Mention is here made to call attention to it.
