their meals AZ We wero present Whan dinnet
was served TO squad Of about 86 c0nyicts, We
can, therefore, spcak from observation. The
bread was brought In an extremely filthy iook
Ing bag, and some of Is looked very stale Tbs
meat ration was not sufnciently cooked, and We
do not think the quantity came up 70 the re-
quifements Of the law. The buildings, when
completed, we think win give satisfaction, and
are 90 arranged 90 10 insure health. We hare
no reason to believe thai any undue cruelty has
been practiced q this camp, and We think every
prccantion has been taken 10 prevent escapes
The clothing was - good - could be expected
The committee recommend that some agent oss
inspector be sent TO the convict camp At leass
0Dee each month during each year for the pnr3
pose of inspecting the condition, management
and treatment OF the prisonefe, and report tho
same to the Governor. Humanity demands thh
much at least. They alsO recommend that aR
appropriation be made for tbs purpose OF fur
nishing The prison with chaplain.
