REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON
EXAMINATION OF CONVICT CAMP.

| + -
| Mr.. FOREMAN AND GENTLEMEN:
We, your committee appointed
to investigate the county's con-
vict gang, have visited the camp,
and beg leave to report that we
find:
That the camp, with 81 con-
victs, all co1ored-24 males and
three females, two guards, one
night-watchman and a superin-
tendent, W. l.. Wilson, is in the
extreme southeastern part of the
county within less than a mile of
the lines of Coffee and Berien, all
we'll and at work, grading roads:
Under rule 1, of the prison
commission we find: The four
cars afford just sufficient room
for the convicts and their keep
ers; one for the superintendent,
night overseer and guards sleep
ing quarters; one car for kitchen
and sleeping quarters for the
three females; and two cars with
twelve hunks each, afford sleep
ing quarters for the "a male con-
victs.
Under 2, of the prison commits
sion we find that the only rules
for the government of the camp
are in minds of the superintend-
ent and his assistant.
Under rule 3, we find no evil
dences of violation of the law, as
to punishment, as per Code Vol.
l3, No. 1147. The superintend-
emf, we we're told, is also whip
ping boss.
Under rule 4, we we're told by
Supt. Wilson that the law as to
credits for good behavior, Code
Vol. 3, No. 1850, is complied with.
Under rule 5, we were told by
Supt. Wilson that the records as
required, as to the punishments.
ETC., are kept.
Under rule 6, we find that the
hunks are hardly up to the re-
quirements and that they are not
kept as clean as they should be,
or as the law requires.
Under rule 7, we find that the
facilities for bathing are perhaps
as good as the persons confined
desire.
Under rule 8, we find the diet
quite sufficient, wholesome and
we'll cooked.
Under rule 9, we find that the
clothing is sufficient and kept in
good repair and clean as could be
expected.
Under rule 10, we were told by
lSupt. Wilson that the hours OF
labor are from sun rise to sun
set, with rest at the noon hour,
as required by law.
Under rule IL, we were told by
lSupt. Wilson that the Sabbath is
strictly kept as day of rest.
Under rule IL, we find that the
separation of sex is effectual.

The total mum Der of persons
on the roll now mbers-; and
the total amount expended for
their support in whole or part
for the past year has been
dollars.
AS required by section $40 of
the Penal Code, we have careful
ly inspected the sanitary condi-
ton of the county jail. We find
the same in bad sanitary, but in
as good condition as it can be
kept considering the circum-
stanced and conveniences pro-
vided for its sanitation by the
county authorities. The sewer
age and drainage system there
for is altogether inadequate, and
the waiter supply far below what
is really necessary. These con-
ditions render the Jail a menace
to the health of the prisoners
confined therein, as we'll as the
jai1or and his family. We re-
commend the following improve
ments:
We call the attention of the
county authorities to the fact
that person though confined in
Jail has the rights of a citizen,
and before trial and conviction is
presumed to the innocent; and
his good health and physical con-
dition should not be impaired by
unclen1iness in and about Jail, or
inadequate sanitary regulations
and appliances. We find that
other Grand Juries have hereto
fore reported and recommended
improvements necessary for the
proper sanitation Of the jail; and
that these recommendations have
been ignored or only imperfect
ly carried out. These recon-
mendation the law says should
be strictly enforced" by the
county authorities. We trust
that no other grand jury will
have the unpleasant duty of re-
porting officials for neglecting
such recommendations. The
Sheriff, we believe cares for the
Jail and the prisoners as we'll as
under the trying con-
ditions by which he is embarras-
ed and surrounded. We recon-
mend ]. H. Young be paid $42 IS
for issuing 282 subpoenas and D.
A. McInnis be paid $3.50 for
summonsing II witnesses to
come upon the grand jury at 50
cents each.
The courthouse we have ex-
amined and fin d in a generally
unsanitary and unrepresentable
condition. The recommended
dation of a former grand jury as
to the employment of a ianitor at
a reasonable salary we deem a
wise one; and again urge his en-
p1oyment, and that the duty of
sweeping and cleaning out the
court and jury rooms regularly,
during sessions of court, and
caring therefor at all times, and
keeping the same in a neat and
presentable condition. We think
that the sweeping out of the dust
and proper care of the cuspi-
dores will add somewhat to the
good health of the court, attor-
neys, jurors and all parties at
tending court. We further re-
commend that the county COM
missioners purchase and place in
the court room new seats or
benches for the public, and pro-
vide suitable number of small
desks for the convenience of the
bar.
We further recommend that
they purchase and provide a
necessary number of lamps for
suitably lighting of the court and

that in the main we find them

But some irregularities exist
in almost all of them. The most
com mon error is that the con.
stables entries are not full
enough, nor are they in most in
stances properly worded, and we
recommend that these officials
make an effort to correct these
and other irregularities, by con-
sulting someone who can give
them the proper form.
