corrou County Jail and AImshouse.


In an interview by a reporter of the BaltI-
more american, G. S. Griffith, ESD, OF Bal
timore, President of the Prisoners Aid AS,
ISOLATION, who recently visited the Jail and
Almshouse of this county, is reported as tel-
lows:
CARROLL COUNTY JAIL
| visited the jail at Westminster October
2Sth, and found eleven prisoners. vi these
five were colored-ene woman with child
two wears of age. | held religious services
with them in the hall, and gave them advice
and counsel suited to their condition. Some
seemed deeply affected, and promised to try
and lead better lives. | was pleased 70 no
tice that the sanitary condition OF the jail was
good; that each prisoner cleans his own CELL
and there seems to be some little ampltoh
among them as to whose cell shall present Ihe
neatest appearance As they expressed
great desire to have religious services every
Sabbath, | made arrangements with some
gentlemen 10 visit the Jail on those days ana
conduct religious exercises and distribute
reading matter Most Of those committed 20
this Jail were for petty offences. Three were
for being drunk and disorderly.
CARROLL COUNTY ALNsHoUsE,
near Westminster, is delightfully."- situated on
a beautiful farm, q short distance from the
town. [ was received by the superintendent,
Mr.. J. J. Roller, who conducted me through
the different buildings, where found things
looking clean and neat. The females were
kept in the main building and comfortably
cared for. The male department was, how
ever, very much crowded, and there IS great
need of an additional building. At present
thew have forty seven inmates, seven of whom
are insane. Notwithstanding the want OF
room, the poor in this county are well cared
for. The farm, under Mr.. Roller, is IN an
excellent state of cultivation, and aids very
materially in the support of the insutuhon,
which only costs the county $4,000 over and
above the receipts from the farm produces
a very considerable amount less than utder
the former superintendent. The morninG
arrived there an old man was buried. lie
was about seventy years of age, and fs7)m
$40. 900 to $4,000 insurance had been sscur-
ed on his life. | also conversed with another
pauper in the same institution, and was alter
ward informed by a clergyman that policies
amounting to $4,000 had been taken out on
his life. When these papers are examined
by physician, from three to five dollars IS
paid them, and this money is generally squan.
dered in town for liquor. This man could
not tell how many policies or the amounts
that had been secured on his life. This
course cannot fail but have a very demorahz.
ing effect, and, in some cases, may even lead
TO murder, and some law should be enacted
and rigidIy enforced TO prevent these nisera-
Bile speculations.
