From the last report of the State Board
of Charities VT gather some statistics of
iails for the year ending June 30, 1898, of
which we will be content at this time to
give the report for the jails of Fairfield
county, of which there are two, under
the supervision of High Sheriff Sidney K.
Hawley, one in Danbury and the other in
Bridgeport. Number of commitments
for the year ending June 30, 1898, 1881 ;
males 1889, females 1872; males under q
years l42, females 20; in pris on before,
1896; discharged during the year 1890 a;
by expiration of sentence 1906, by coun-
ty commissioners and states attorney
l42. The number of commitments for
the year previous was 2077 as agait ct
1881 the past year, an excess of SO. Fair
field county's jail expenses for the past
year as reported was $25,595 70. The
principal jail is at Bridgeport, the one at
Danbury being used as a rule only for
the detention of short term men. for
which reason it has not been thought ad-
visible to introduce any system of en-
ployment. When prisoners are sentenced
by the Danbury court, the understanding
is, II the sentence is for 30 days or more,
the sheriff will be notified, who will have
the men transported to the Bridgeport
jail, where they will be regularly en-
ployed, the chief industry being cane
seating chaira.
