TO THE PUBLIC.
THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper published in the Minnesota state prison. All matter published in its columns is contributed by the inmates, except that properly credited. Its support must come from the outside as every inmate is given a paper without cost. It is published in the interest of the prison library and after paying for the printing outfit, contributed $150 to the library fund the first year. Its objects are to encourage individual intellectual effort, provide a healthy journal for the inmates of this and other prisons, and, above all, to acquaint the outside world with the needs of the prison by reflecting its inner life and thus aid the cause of moral advancement and prison reform.
