The Fort Madison Plaindeaier has the
suhjoined history Of the State Peni,en,iary
located at that place: -
The Peniteniary was started in 1889.
The law locating the institution required
the directors; as n condition precedent, to
procure from the citizens of Fort Madison
proper deed Of conveyance for a tract Of
10 acres of land, in fee simple absolute.
The Penitentiary was required to have a
sufficient capacity to receive, secure and
employ 1876 convicts. and its estimated
cost was $4,000. The National aud State
Governments have expended nearly 500.
900 in its erecti Oh, and it is not yet fully
