This four-reel, state right, educational picture shows the daily routine of the Illinois penitentiary, known as the "Model Prison." It emulates the complete interior and exterior workings in every detail. It takes a criminal through his daily life from his incarceration to his discharge. Numberless scenes in the different workshops and the methods adopted in the manufacture of shoes, chairs, brooms, brushes, etc., and the humane manner in which each is conducted is both gratifying and interesting. The scenes in the kitchen and dining room show utmost cleanliness. Simple games are indulged in, such as pitching quoits, etc. Scenes illustrating chapel services and the marches thereto, and to and fro from their cells show that the old lock step has been relegated to oblivion; also the striped suits are not used, except in extreme cases. Scenes at Mount Hope, where the convicts are allowed to work without guards, are elucidated. This is a very well made offering. - The Moving Picture World, April 11, 1914
