THE State Board of Supervision has
decided to ask the next Legislature for
an appropriation to build an intermedi-
ate prison or .reformatory. The State
Prison has $40 inmates, and there is a
steady increase in criminals, which
makes more room absolutely necessary,
as the capacity of the institution is now
taxed to it's utmost The Industrial
School for Boys at Waukesha is also
overcrowded, until it is necessary to pro-
vide in some way for the increased num-
Der of inmates there. There are about
43O boys and young men incarcerated in
this institution, a number considerably
in excess of what was meant to be the
maximum capacity. To solve the prob
lem in the State Prison and Industrial
School the board proposes TO have O.
third institution for the harboring Of
young men too old for mingling with
boys at the Industrial School, and yet
too young in wrong-doing to be confined
in the State Prison. There are a suf-
ficient number of this class in both places
to make fair-sized population for
third institution.
