Utah Foundation obtained comparative information for twenty other states, including all pf the eleven western states. Of the twenty states, Wyoming, Oregon, and Texas reported spending less per inmate than did Utah, and only Oregon had a smalier ratio of employees to inmates than does Utah. The Utah prison warden is paid a monthly salary of $345 plus his home on the prison grounds. Salary of the deputy warden is $280 and for the captain of the guard $290. All guards have received a uniform increased salary which was from $165 per month in 1945 o $210 prior to July of 1949, at which time the rate was raised to $250 per month. More than half of the inmates at the prison had been convicted of previous felonies before their present sentences began, and 91G had been arrested at least once previously on counts other than minor traffic violations. More than of the prisoners records show five or more previous arrests, with one having been arrested 60 times, the Utah Foundation analysis shows.
