That the association has work to do is strikingly evidenced by the following table, showing the nature of the dispositions of cases in the night court for women. “During the year from August 1, 1909, to July 30, 1910, 7,896 complaints were taken against girls and women in the night court, for offenses relating to immorality and prostitution. These included soliciting on the streets for purposes of prostitution, accosting men, associating with dissolute and vicious persons, and violating the tenement house act by carrying on prostitution in a tenement house. “The disposition of the cases was as follows: Discharged 2,648 Fined $1 to $10 3,913 Committed to the Workhouse 1,071 Placed on probation 156 Placed under Good Behavior Bond 71 Committed to N. Y. State Reformatory at Bedford 6 Committed to N. Y. Magdalen Benevolent Society 9 Committed to Protestant Episcopal House of Mercy 3 Committed to Roman Catholic House of the Good Shepherd 12 Committed to Immigration Authorities 7 —————— Total 7,896 “Of the total number, 84 per cent were almost at once returned to the streets by being discharged, fined, or placed under a good behavior bond. Fourteen per cent of the remaining 16 per cent were committed to the workhouse, and in only two per cent of the cases was some helpful measure tried—probation or a reformatory. “The association has during 1910 developed a plan for preventive work to aid more of those girls who are in danger and to seek to understand better the conditions in the different districts tending to bring the girls into trouble. Many of this class have already been referred to the association, and it has been possible to help them by putting them in touch with helpful influences in the neighborhood, or by securing their removal from the district. For the purpose of the preventive and after-care work, the city has been divided into six districts. Some of the work in these districts is being done by volunteer workers who are not able to devote sufficient time in view of the extent and character of the work.” NOTES FROM COLORADO From a total of eighty persons aided in 1904 to total of 517 aided in 1910 has been the growth of the work of the Colorado Prison Association.[1] That more care is being exercised in the aid given is indicated by the facts that during 1905-6 the average expenditure per person was $24, during 1907-8 it was $18, and during 1909-10 it was $12.
