During these years I was immersed in the study of crimes and criminals. It was my duty to sustain every con- viction when legally possible to do so, and my work tended to develop a bias against the prisoner. But those eight years of experience and study have produced in my mind a deep and definite conviction that the j average violator of the law is not nn ' oral pervert, is not essentially a crim- inal, but JH a perfectly normal man, who, by reason of an environment for ' which he was not responsible, or by , reason of some sudden passion or overwhelming temptation commits an act for which he is very properly sent to prison. But after this normal man has been in prison for a reason- I able time, if the state gives him an- j other chance he will not be a menace to society, but will be a better citizen I than he was before he fell into temp- tation. He h&s learned something about the wages of sin. There are, of course, gross and vi- cious exceptions to this general rule, but the conviction that the average prisoner is not fundamentally wicked has been intensified by my study of crimes and my experiences with crim- inals during my four years' service as Governor.
