Ia Georgia, 100 of the 1877
reported But 81 of |
those counties Sse convicts on the
county roads, although these
counties engaged the lnoer of 946
convicis The number of priso
nsrs reported kept in county Iails
in Georgia pondiag trial was l..
095, the average cost being 35
cents per day. The aggregate
expense was S16o,750 The
average cost per convict per day
for guarding, etc., was &c cents.
Georgia pays IS cents per day
for hired labor to work ON the
roads.
la North Carolina reports wero
received from all of the 81 count
les But "a counties in that State
use convicts on the public high
ways. The number of convicts
thus employed was 643, and the
average cost Of guarding, etc. :,
was "a cents per day. There were
6O7 untried prioners in the i-il,
costing the State 80 cents per day
each; an aggregate expense of
SOB, $50. Free labor on the
roads COSTS IS cents per- day.
In South Carolina SO of the 40
counties reported. Thirty two
use convict labnr-579 convicts.
at cost of Is cent per day each.
There were 4o4 prisoners in Jail
awaiting trial, at n cost of 80 cent
per day each, aggregating SIS, 75o
for the year. "Free labor" on
roads costs IS cents day in this
State.
The above statistics relate to nor
NAL conditions. This year the OK
pense will bs heavier, for in
number of ceunties the jury law
was contested last fall, and nany
prisoners we're remanded To- iail,
where they remained at a heavy
expense to the county until this
spring. On the other hand the
legislature reduced the cost of
dieting prisoners to 20 cents per
day by general law. Heretofore
In some connties the fec was less
than in other counties. Whether
Mr.. Holmes suggestion may b,
wise or may be radical it calls at
tentloa to the ,normuus expense
lncureed through the wiessness
Of men Ind the State is now en-.
deavoring to SO utilize the labor
of convicted felons that the best
financial returns may be realized
The building and maintaining of
good roads is generally conceded
to be the proper use of convicts.
