The Prison Mirror on Prohibition
By Editor
PRISONERS are often men of experience and observation. The Prison Mirror is the title of a paper edited and published by the convicts in the Minnesota penitentiary at Stillwater, with no mean ability. Here is a specimen editorial paragraph which is worth passing around:— The Iowa Legislature has passed a bill erasing Iowa from the list of prohibition States. It also passed a bill appropriating a large amount of money for the erection of an additional insane asylum. The scheme is quite appropriate, and shows a considerable amount of foresight on the part of Iowa legislators. When saloons are in full blast, insane asylums and State prisons are a positive necessity.
