all possible efforts are made to work every man

that do not amount to much. The controlling
idea Is to make the institution not only self
supporting, but actually profitable to the State.

over and above all expenses OF every kind what
ever was something like $500 but usually
they expect to and do realize from $50 600 to

idea of working every convict in either prison
at some profitable work. We should avoid COM
petition as much as possible, but no man should
DC kept iole for the reason. Truly your friend,
J. J. ScRIvNER.
