Report of the Penitentiarv Committee


 Mir. SPEAKER: The joint committee on the peni. eentlary nave taken much pains in visiting tho 9'aee fnson, and in examining the condition of the cells, shops, and hospital, as also the manner oi treatment ot the conyicts. They take pleasure Tn stating that they are well pleased with the general condition of the same, and express their admiration of the neatness of the establishment and the kind treatment extended to the convicts. The efficient warden of the prson Mr. Ward, has furnished them with warm and comfortable cloth. ing, and good healthy food. But your committee would beg leave to state that the number of con. vcts is so rapidly increasing that it will be necess sary in short time to extend the number of cells as well as the workshops
 Your committee advertised for proposals to keep the penitentiary for term of years, and received but one from A. J. Ward, whicn upon mature de liberation on the part of the committee has been accepted Up to the present time the State ,rison has been continual expense to the Sta.e;, d for the last few years has cost not less than .l6.O0O per annum. The committee were Of opinion that this exfense upon the State could, and ought to be removed, and consequently extended the time of letting out the prison to avoid this heavy draft non the sFetsufg ot lne otate. They have leased the penitentiary to Mir Ward for eight years free of cost to the State, on condition that the State shall add sixty four new cells at cost of $s 800, extend the work shop and make it two stories high, at a cosAof s5,o90; together with house for the war. den, with cells for female convicts, at a cost of $9,0Oo-making fh the aggregate S23,OO0. Under this arrangement made by your committee, the State will in the next eight years save the laree sum of Sllo,0O0 with the present number of con. victs, but if the additional increase should be in the same ratio as the last twelve months there will be saving to the State of $250 ,000. Mr. Ward aarees to introduce machinery in the pr on and direct the labor of convicts to compete with forthe,n manuiactores to manufacture rope and baggine, negro shoes, etc.
 Under this arrangement, at the expiration of the elght years, the manufacturing business will have acquired such advancement as 10 afford the State handsome revenue. Having thus performed their duty, the committee ask leave to be discharged.
