TIE HoCsE OF CORRECTION
was constructed with capacity for $50 nlalo and
200 female prisoners. Tie number of the former
now in confinement ia 335. To use ut mechanical
industry, and ut remunerativo prices, tho shortest
sentenced inmates required tho assistance OF the
labor OF large number Of non-prison mecllau-
lcs, or OF longtime congicts. The former
was setioueIy Questionable for disciplinary and
moral reasons. 4 small number were received
fromthe County Court, under extended sen-
tcnces, aud, we're there appropriate Accommo-
detions, those from other counties in tho State
and tho United States Courts might be received.
They would not only assist materially in working
the city prisoners, but would afford q revenue
fer their care and labor. There were objections
to the imprisonment Of males aud females in the
same institution. Tie severity Of discipline
which 1nay be maintained at convict prison
could not be obtained in city prison like this.
Moro prison room Was needed, aud it should be
obtained by the erection OF d prison exclusively
for females upon somo other portion of tile
grounds, and the present female department be
appropriated to the use OF male prisoners under
long sentence.
NFASTILE PRISONERS.
A reference to the statement above would
show that large number Of children, chiefly
boys between tho ages of nnd Is
years, we're sent to the institution. They were
not deemed proper subjects for Reform School,
requiring merely disciplinary treatment They
should not be locked in cells, much less in the
same. prison With criminals, nor yet with the
immoral OF dissipated. Other provisions should
be made for tAem,-eitlles in separate bnild-
ing, OF the setting aside al portion Of the pres
ent structure for their use.
THE HOSPITAL.
Different hospital accommodations were re-
quired, the present rooms being Inadequate. A
chapel was also needed Tho omission Of re-
igious seryices on Sunday during tho year had
been for the want Of m appropriate room in
which to hold them.
Reformatory influences should ever be present
nado to reclaim tho fallen or the criminal; still,
without extended sentences and facilities for
EDUCATING AND IMPROVING TUE af1sD,
and uith an organized force for go doing, little
could be accomplished in converting into moral
and God-fearing citizens those who from the
cradle to maturity, have lived in atmospheres
OF vice and CITING. Few instances OF recla1na-
ton may bo found, perhaps. II society intend
ed to reduce the number OF criminals, the
avenues from which criminals come must be
stopped Tbs closing OF one nursery Of vice
aud the Imprisonment Of its keeper would do
more to that end than the arrest Of all it's inmates.
It WAS OF little use to try reformatory Influences
upon the adult in prison, while little, If any,
moral life OF those more youthful, who were now
receiving their frat Lessons In vice and crime IN
the places whence prisoners come.
IN coSCLESIoS,
the Superintendent says it WAS not his wish to
mako extended observations, or ask for immedi-
ate AnDrfDriations for Dur1oOSeH which might not
