Warden Wolfer is shortly to leave the Minnesota State Prison. Warden Bridges has resigned from his long service at the Massachusetts State Prison, Warden Brown has been succeeded in West Virginia by State Senator M. Z. White. Chairman Frank L. Randall of the Massachusetts Prison Commission is said to be resigning on September 1st, Superintendent Reid of the Minnesota State Reformatory is to take Warden Wolfer’s place, and Henry K. W. Scott, formerly warden of the New Hampshire State Prison, is to go to the position left vacant by Superintendent Reid. Henry Wolfer has been in prison work 43 years. He began, says the Minneapolis Tribune, in a day when filth, vermin, brutality and torture were prominent features of prison life. He ends it as warden of a prison declared by many authorities to be one of the finest in the world. Warden Wolfer began as guard at Joliet Prison as a boy of 18. A recent number of the Delinquent ( ) contained an article about the Warden’s remarkable work as an administrator and as a business man. Warden Bridges has been 21 years at the Massachusetts State Prison. The Boston Herald says that when he took hold, conditions were chaotic. The Warden has made a specialty of inmate education. The correspondence courses, run entirely within the prison, are noteworthy. The prison paper, the Mentor, is written entirely by hand, and facsimiled. The prison is a congregate, old, cramped structure. Recently, sports have been developed in the limited prison yard.
