Sgtz-Sueroarlio Piteous IN AlliOtlOA.—About
nine months ago the governor of the state prison of
Masaschusetta (Mr. Gideon Haynes) forwarded a latter
to Mr. William Tallack, secretary of the Howard
Association, 5. Bishopsgate-street Without, RC.,
stating that the said prison receives about 120,000
dollars per annum for the labour of ita inmates, and
estimating that • clear profit of 20,000 dollars would
Probably be gained daring the year. Mr. Tallack has
jest received from tbe governor • second letter
(November, 1867), from which the following la as
extract :—" My ezpectations in regard to the profits
of our prison for the year just closed have been mare
than realised. You will recollect that, in my first
letter, I stated that I anticipated • profit of 20,000
dollars. I ant happy to inform you that we have
exceeded that sum, and, for the year ending September
30, we have made a dear profit of 22,000 deu.s. This
has been scoomFliabed, notwithstanding that the legisla-
ture has, since I wrote you, Increased the salaries of the
officers of the prison to the amount of about six
thousand dollsoc per annum, which has been paid in the
past year. This sum of 22,000 dollars is over and
above all andlevery expense connected with the prison—
via., officers' Navies, clothing, bedding, and feeding tbe
convicts, transporting them from the various counties
where they are convicted to the prison, adding two
hundred volumes to the library, providing at discharged
prisoners with a new suit of clothes and five dollars in
money, and paying all repaird connected with the
buildinp." The governor estimates 90,000 dollars
(86,000) am the profit for the coming year. He
remarks :—" Society gains but little in keeping • man
in prison for • term of pears, no matter how numb he
may be made to suffer, if he is discharged unimproved,
or no better prepared to earn an honest living than
when he entered the prison. Our records show that
crime is most prevelent among that class who are
ignorant of trades. Over eighty per cent, of those
received in the last forty years knew no trades. I
would state, as my opinion after nine years' experience
at the head of this prison, that a greater per-oentage of
reformation is obtained through the agency of good
trades being taught it,: men than in any other way.
Our recommitments for the last forty yearn have been
less than ten par sent." Much attention is devoted to
Seriptoal and general instruction in the Massachusetts
prison. It contains &A cella and 10 workshopa, each
100 feet by 40, and a foundry 125 feet by 70. Each of
the average 539 inorites in the past year ham earned
177 dollars (C 35 being £8 more than the coat (27). In
narked contrast to the above it appear, from the
English "Judicial Statistics" for 1867, that in our
own country every prisoner casts on the ge £34,
and only earns £2 (average) towards defraying this
expense Notwithstanding the number of short term
prisoners a very much higher result than this ought to
be attained. Remunerative prison labour is not (al is
sometimes objected) unjust to honest workers, inasmuch
as the latter must support the idle anises these support
themselves. Industrious habits acquired in prison also
prevent further plunder and re-committals. Prison
labour should be enforced by teak work, which renders
it deterrent as well.. reonomicel and reformatory.
