PRISON FOOD
GOOD QUALITY
Secretary of Inspectors Re-
ports to Governor.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Nov. 4:-Some time ago
a complaint was made to Governor
Wilson by a released prisoner that
the food supplied at the State Prison
was unfit for use and that other
matters at Iie State penal institution
needed looking into. Governor Will
son asked George B. Wight, Com
missioner of Charities and Correc-
tions, to Investigate the charges.
Mr.. Wight's report to the Governor
follows:
To His Excellency, Governor Wilson.
Sir:II have the honor to submit
the following report OF the result Of
my inquiries into the complaints
concerning the food served and GER
tain items of management in the
State Prison. The report has been
unavoidably delayed, but ] think the
facts are as / shall state them:
The complaint as to the food was
that the meat was very bad" the
hash sour" and the fish rotten"
Fresh meat is furnished by Stein G
Co, one of the most reliable Tren-
ton firms, and Is of good quality,
clean and wholesome. The fish

Friday morning, packed In Ice, and
Is served that day. ] have not been
able to find any evidence of 1t being
unfit for use.
After inspecting the meat in the
storage, questioning the warden, the
supervisor, and two other officials, /
summoned half a dozen prisoners
from different corridors and ques-
toned them privately az to the
quality of their food. One stated
that 1t was occasionally bad, and
others that it was fairly good, but
could be prepared and served in bet
ter manner. There vas a cause of
complaint for a week or two during
the heated spell in July when the
refrigerator, which was old, mad TO
be repaired. During that time. sew
eral mornings the hash was sour,
and other articles of food below the
usual grade. This was explained to
the prisoners personally by the War

den who went to the different corrt-
doris during meal time and told them
that the refrigerator was out OF or
der. and that for a few days there
might be some difficulty with the
food, but to endure 1t as best they
could and he would make 1t right
with them subsequently. BY this ne
meant that he would give them extra
allowances as 500 as possible.
The kitchen of the prison Is old
and with worn out appliances, u
the last session of the Legislature
appropriated three thousand dollars
for new Equipment, the contract Tor
which / understand has been ware
ed. The cooks are prisoners, and
am satisfied that much OF the COM
plant, II valid, is due to the mex
p~erience of the cooks and the In
adequacy of the equipment to pre-
pare food for fourteen hundred per-
sons.
/ respectfully suggest that the
Board of Inspectors appoint q diet1-
clan who can inspect the food as 1T
is brought to the prison, and who
has experience in it's preparation for
use. This Is being done with excel
lent results in a number of u in
titutions as q matter Of economy
and good service.
The complaint that there are fa-
vored prisoners who receive a diff
,ferent kind Of food is without foun-
dalton. The dietary of the prison,
fixed by the Board OF Inspectors. can
be changed only by the order of the
house physician, DR.. Mackenzie a
careful and efficient officer, who as
sures me that he permits nc change
except where the health OF the pris-
oner In his judgment, makes 1t
essary.
One item Of complain was that
the prisoners do not receive suffi-
eient amount of food and were
half starved" During the month
OF July 1858 pounds of fresh beef.
10,246 pounds of corned beef, g.
469 pounds of mutton, 2,145 pounds
OF salt pork, 1880 pounds of frank
furters and 1891 pounds of spring
lamb were issued.
The dinner Is served to the pris--
oners on tables In the corridors, but
breakfast and supper are served In
divfdual1y in the cells. A common
dining room Is very greatly to be de-
sired and would effect a saving In
cost OF from fifteen TO twenty Pc
cent.
While occasionally food may be
served which is not up to the stand
ard, as it sometimes occurs in pri-
vate families, I am satisfied that
there is no sufficient cause of COM
