The article argues for indeterminate sentencing as a merit system in reformatories and prisons. It describes a modern Jeffersonville reformatory, grading inmates by cloth color, with earnings, fines, and parole tied to behavior.

Family pleas or counsel cannot overturn a vicious prison record, and good behavior in prison is the sole basis for pardons or parole.
