Letter from Augusta.

Jan. p, 1876.
Ar. EaNor:-1he writer Of this had the
pleasure Of being present At the meeting
OF County Commissioners ana Sherifs Of
the state al Augusta the 10Th nit. The
meeting was called for the purpose Of de.
Yi>ing ways aud means for the improve
ment Of those confined ia jaiis. and to re-
port upon and consider what had already
been done
Penobscot county has invested forty
thousand dollars in buildings. implements
and material for the Manufacture Of doors.
sa>hes and blinds. Audroscoegin and
henneUec counties have fitted up well an
pointed shoe manufactures in connection
with their jail,. These are known as iah
workshops. Representatives Of these es-
Adjustments reported. that they are not a
success financially. Il would appear that
1t requires skilled labor aloog with improy.
ed machinery TO enable almost any indus
try % compete successfully in the markets
OF the country.
Il was admitted that bur very little skill
ed labor can ever be obtained from 20 and
~ dAy commitments, and a large majority
OF the prisoners are of this class. Wheth-
CT or not this fact was considered before
investments were made, did not appear. |
noticed in the Augusta Jail that the cutting.
lasting aud machine sewing was done by
hired hands. One or two prisoners were
driving pegs. one was stuiiing and polish
ing the uppers OF shoes. another the soles;
each confined TO his particular part Of the
work; not allowed TO exchange. because.
OF course, prisoner can hardly be expect
ed TO do even one thing well in 30 or 50
days
None can get an idea OF the business
sufficiently to open even a cobbler's shop
after they are released, and, certainly, a
person would need to be rs-committed sew
efai times to attain that proficiency in anv
part OF the business. that would ensure
him situation in private shoe nanufacto-
RES. Jail workshops then, are success
only In that they furnish something for
Idle hands to do"
That Ubiquitous cheap John at my elbow
suggests plan that has. at least, that one
merit, with minimum of cost. The entire
expense by his plan would not exceed
1893. He would have pile OF hard burnt
brick to be moved one at time. from end
to end of the Jail yard, as often as NAV be.
In the matter of religious and other in.
struction flor those confined in jails, opin-
ions differed widely. But this much is
certain. that philanthropic ,oorkers have
not Yet made great demonstrations in tina,
direction, evidently prefering the far-away
leathen lands as more prolific field of la
Dor. But experiment and inquiry will con.
lnue SO long as it is principle of moral
that the human mind is not cor.
ain but only inclined to follow its bent.
