INTERESTING INFORMATION
IN PENITENTIARY REPORTS

Denver, Colo. Dec. 2O.-The reports
of the warden and commissioners OF
the state penitentiary have been filed
with Governor Thomas. Convict Ia
bor Is earnestly recommended. al
though both reports state that during
the present biennial period convict Ia
Dor. save for few brief weeks, has
not been allowed to Interfere with free
labor in any field. Warden Q. p.
Hoyt asserts that II brick making had
been continued Mt the penitentinry In
the manner 1t was started there would
not now be a $5000O deficit to face
The statistics show many interesting
features, one of which is total Of
twenty-seven escapes. The chaplain,
W. s. Rudolph, asserts that sixty per
cent. OF the inmates Of the penitcn-
tinry are there because of the effects
of strong drink. The physician, DIR.
J. w. Cullins, says in his report that
there has been very little disease In
the prison and that while the water
was bad for II time, this trouble has
now been remedied and the health Of
the prisoners is now above the aver
nge.
The commissioners In their report
say In part:
I'VE have drawn vouchers on the
state treasurer for the necessary ex.
penses OF the term. amounting to $221.
1850. This is In excess OF the
amount appropriated by the last Leg
islature-$17O.OOO-to the amount of
$51 .79S.S9. We received from the
cash earnings Of the penitentiary $26,-
1850. We estimate the cost Of run
ming the penitentiary for the next two
years as follows:
Maintenance and support. .$225, 600
Cell house Observation-Disclosures. 25,OO0
Washing machinery and baths 5000
Improvements and repairs. 1000
Lime kilns and quarries. .... 1000

"The employment of convict labor
during the past two years has been
upon farms leased by the commission
ers, In burning lime, making brick,
cutting stone and extending the prison
walls. The work upon the farms Is
not remunerative and would not have
been continued but for the sake of
giving employment to the prisoners.
Owing to the opposition of labor our
brick and stone industries are no long
er profitable and the only Industry
now carried on by the prison force
from which We can hope to realize any
profit is from the lime kllns. We are
meeting with such competition from
the outside that in the near future we
cannot look to this industry for any
revenue. This state Of affairs brings
us to the all-important subject of
prison labor.
IAN surplus labor could be employ
ed within the walls Of the penitentiary
