SUSPICIOUS OF sHERIFFs FEES.
COMMISSIONER KEARNY LOOKS AsKANCE AT
SENDING OF SOME PRISONERS TO BROOK
LYN wOMEN'S PRISON.

Commissioner Kearny Of the Department Of Pub
lie Buildings Lighting and Supplies made state
ment yesterday afternoon regarding the women's
prison in Brooklyn. He said in part:
Upon investigation it first occurs to to ask
why the Borough Of Brooklyn should have a
women's prison when there is none in the Borough
of Manhattan. If a woman is arrested for disturb
ing the peace for intOXicatiOn In Manhattan, In
the committing magistrate commits her, she Is
sent to Blackwells Island. under the care of the
nominal figure and made to work
In the Borough OF Brooklyn there exists a law, or
regulation that if woman is committed for thirty
days she is sent to the Kings County Penitentiary
where she is kept for about the same price she
would cost Backwells Island, and she is made
mitted for a less time than thirty days she is
10 the Sherif's boarding house otherwise known as
the womenS prison in the Borough of Brooklyn.
where she is of expense to the city, cost
ing about 81 10 day, and is allowed TO remain In
idleness, and oftentimes 10 the detriment of the
morals of other prisoners.
believe the records Of the committing magis-
trates OF the Borough of Brooklyn will show that
many OF these creatures committed for day
short of the term that would send them to the
county institution. and this is of such frequent
currence that suspicious IL is often done 10
swell the fees of the Sheriff, and of course at the
expense of the city.
Probably, if the Sinking Fund Commissioners
would abolish the womens prison and obIige the
committing magistrates to send their short term
prisoners to BlaCkwelTs Island using the women's
prison only a place of detention for people who
have not been convicted 1t would relieve the over
crowded condition of this prison for women and
creatures; but IL might materially reduce the
Sherif's fees.
