Annual Reports of inspectors

ers in 1902.

The annual reports OF the Inspectors,
wardens and subordinate Officers of the
Maine State Prison for the year end
ing Nov. 80, 1902, have been submit
ted to the Governor and Council.
The report of the inspectors of
prisons and jails, Whitman Sawyer,
Portland, Williaul.L. Scribner, SPRING
field and Albion p. Gordon, F'ryeburg,
states that at the beginning of the pris-
on year, Dec. /, 1901, there We're 1872
prisoners confined in the prison; AZ
have been received; So have been dis
charged by expiration of sentence, and
4 have died. leaving 1S0 in the prison,
Nov. 80. 1902.
lowing to the increased prices of all
kinds of provisions it has cost $4,000
more to feed the convicts in 1902 than
it did in 1901 say the inspectors.
9The raw material now costs 1917 cents
for each person per day and comprises
an ample supply of good, substantial
food. Great care is taken by Warden
Smith to have everything properly
cooked.
AT each of our monthly inspections
the cells, bedding, corridors and
grounds have been found in a neat
cleanly condition. Good discipline has
been maintained and punishments have
been few. For the physical condition
of the prisoners we refer you to the
report of the prison physician, DR..
Smith, who has, we believe, taken most
excellent care of the few who have
come under his treatment. The chap
lain and teacher, Rev. c. A. Plummer,
continues his good work in spiritually
advised all prisoners and imparts
knowledge to those who will receive it.
Steam heat has been put into the
shop under the supervision
of Warden Smith; all labor was done
by the prisoners and the small eX-
pense OF material will be more than
offset in the saving of fuel and by
the increased comfort in the shop.
I'VE are pleased to state that each
of the manufacturing departments has
made an exceptionally good showing
by reason Of the diligent and faithful
labor of the convicts A goodly number
of carriages, harnesses and brooms
have been produced which have been
we'll sold and show much better re-
suits than in the average year; the
oVerseers have been very painstaking
in instructing the prisoners and at
tentive to all the duties, and to them is
due for the success of their several de-
partments.
AN appropriation will be asked for
and is required to pay for a sewer
built during the year as well as for the
running expenses during the years
1903 and 1904.
In our monthly inspections we have
been accompanied usually by Hon. w.
T. Haines, visiting member from the
Executive Council, to whom we are in
debted for many valuable suggestions"

In his report, Warden Hilman Smith
thus speaks of the amount of labor per-
formed by the prisoners during the
year:
The harness department has made
1895 harnesses, beside repairs, which
is more than was ever made before in
the prison in one year. The carriage
department has made q most excellent
showing. The amount earned over and
above expenses is not as large as in
the harness department but the eX
penses for overseers in this depart
ment is $1,000 more than in the harness
shop. In the broom department the
past year has been a successful one.
The price of broom stock has been
lower than for several years past
while manufactured brooms have sold
during the year at least Is per cent.
higher than the previous year.
The Legislature of two years ago
appropriated for current expenses
$4,000 which has enabled us to discount
on bills and keep out of debt. The
same amount will be needed for the
next two years, and we trust the COM
ing Legislature will appropriate the
amount required l respectfully ask
that an appropriation of at least $4,000
be given the prison for repairs which
are greatly needed"
