IF your motor goes wrong, it is inadvisable to start pulling it to pieces unless you are an engineer. That, in effect, is the contention of those who advocate the inadequacy of more imprisonment as a corrective for crime. Lord Lytton has always shown the keenest interest in this subject, his speech last October at the Howard League of Penal Reform being an outstanding example of his enthusiasm. In India, as well as at home, he has been active in his advocacy of moral hospitals in the place of prisons.
