Influence is being brought to bear upon the Legislature and Governor Brum- baugh to prevent the old cell-block plan being used as a main unit for the hous- ing of prisoners in the new western penitentiary, in Benner township, Centre county, now in course of construction. Prison experts are agitating the elimi- nation of the cell-block plan on the argu- ment that it is a type of medizeval prison and out of keeping with the spirit of progress otherwise denoted in Centre county, where a large acreage, with adequate facilities for prison work, has been provided. With other agencies, the Public Chari- ties Association of Pennsylvania, engaged primarily in the care of the insane and feeble-minded, has turned its attention to the new western penitentiary, and hopes to see corrective measures taken before it is too late. While the death house and other smaller buildings in Centre county have been completed, the prison is to be the last one erected, and work is to be started early this spring. Warden Francies, who was instrumental in having the State buy 5200 acres of land for the new prison, is said to have decided upon the cell-block plan. Prison experts said that, if the present plan goes through, Pennsylvania will be in the ridiculous position of having ob- tained an ideal location for a modern prison and then thrown its opportunity away by constructing on this site build- ings of the type in use in mediaeval times and no longer believed in by any of the leading prison experts of the country. Letters are being written to Legislators, and a number of prison reform leaders have planned to take up the matter with Governor Brumbaugh and seek his aid in effecting a change in plans.
