John G. Kennedy, cliaifman of the State Prison Commission, in a report which has Just been adopted by the Commission, denounces the present arrangement by which girls over 16 years of age tind women charged with offenses in Manhattan are detained on Welfare Island at nifiht and in the Jefferson Market lYIson, Manhattan, during the day. The report states that the method now employed in detaining women prisoners is at best "a squinting construction of the law." and declares that "the whole system is a bad one and merits severe condemnation as unworthy of the groat city of New York."

Brooklyn detains women at Haynn id Street Jail, "where accommodations are reasonably good and proper segregation is possible." Segregation, ha points out, is impossible at Welfare Island and Jefferson Market prison. "Commencing July 1, 1921," the report reads, "the detention of women over night at Jefferson Market Prison was abandoned, but those awaiting action are held irl the cell corridors while court is in session during the day. Kinco Julv 1 women of these classes, arrested after the close 6f the Women's Court and not bailed out oi'. held over by the court, are taken by the police Or Department of Correction vans to the south wing of the Workhouse on Welfare Island Instead of to Jefferson Market Prison.

"From July 1 to September 30 the number sent to the Detention House on the Island was 1,769.
