the prison buildings, which are row 10
terribly overcrowded. The penitent!ary was
built about one hundred years ago. ana
was planned for a capacity Of three or
four hundred conyicts while at this time
there are about twelve hundred prisoners
confined within its walls. Think OF rooms
measuring 1sx20 feet, and ba9y ventilat-
ed, In which thirty men are confined;
and this in midsummer, with the Their
mometer at 100 degrees. This IL, to say
the least OF 1t, not humane. and does
away entirely with the reformatory fea-
ture which Is and should be the EFFORT
OF all prison treatment We must recoi-
lect that, however bad some of these
prisoners may be, they are all human
beings, with souls to save, and we should
strive 10 make them, when they have
served out their time, better men. But
overcrowdng, the most depraved mixeu
in with the better men, and all forced
60 breathe foul air, does not lend TO re-
formation. Contagious diseases In this
prison under the present conditions would
be mos, fatal to the convicts, with the
danger OF the spread Of the disease in the
city outside.
1t is well known that the State Urea
sury Is not in a condition for large
expenditures but we understand that
the sum asked for this urgent improve
ment is less than the sum OF two years
of net profit which this institution mas
turned into the State Treasury. This
Is certainly not asking too much.
The Board OF Directors, the Superin-
tendent, and the Governor OF the state
have all appealed for immediate relief.
and the Legislature should grant 1t with
out further delay. ~
