appointed to visit the insane asylum of this district and utah penitentiary beg leave to report that on the day of feb auary 1877 in company with wm nelson esq united states marshal and B S H lewis I 1 assistant district attorney we visited the in sane bane asylum the persons persona in charge gave us apparently full information as to their doings patients under the their r care appeared in healthy condition we are however under the impressions that the funds dormain for duain cenance not nol sufficient to justice do to that unfortunate class of persons in this district compelled to go there for treatment many improvements and of small cost could be advantageously sug bug geared and are required if ampro privations could be had haa from the proper we next visited united states

and safekeeping safe keeping of the prisoners in confinement the guards u adson on duty onder under charge of the united united beatea marshal manhal appeared well disciplined and competent men an appropriation is required to make i additional improvements for the safe eafe custody of prisoners andhor and for that purpose we recommend that separate cells ceils be prepared for prisoners BO so that old convicts and desperado eib eja hardened in crime may inay be separate from those less lees schooled in criminal acts thereby preventing the old convict from giving instructions and educating i the young bep sep arate tej Becu ectro recella mlis oils y would savo nave extra expense for guards and at the same time protect the lives of employed emp loyes we would also suggest that some plan bo be adopted by the united states through the proper officials that confinement for criminals should be where practicable so that the prisoners would be compelled to perform daily manual la a berand if the penitentiary remains where it now is located some branch of manufacturing should be introduced this is probably a more proper subject for the honorable judges united states district attorney and united states marshal to report upon its practicability any change would bean benn be an improvement pro ov ement than to keep a number pr of 8 trong strong healthy able bodied men in idleness your committee cannot but approve and endorse the careful and considerate manner in which W nelson neison united states marshal and his assistants conduct their business at the penitentiary and its excellent sanitary condition and also attention to this grand jury duling during their session your committee for the grand jury would fall fail to perform their duties did they not signify their approval of the close attention fidelity of purpose to punish crime and administer justice by the hon hen sumner howard united states district attorney and his assistant B S H levs er esq q

jury for the february ferm term of the third district court territory of utah gentlemen your committee to whom was referred the duty of investigating vesti gating the condition of the county jail of salt lake county and of the jail of salt lake lahe city respectfully present the following report we found the county jail in the basement of the county coult coutt house the cells composing the jail are underground in a very damp locality so much BO so that prisoners who have weak constitutions speedily contract rheumatism and kindred disorders several of them are suffering from these disorders who were perfectly well when confined there the floors of the cells are of stone and the beds are aro placed on t the he bare floors in some instances gunny bags were under the mattras mattresses ses seg and had bad become mildewed mil dewed and mouldy bouldy from the excessive dampness of the place the cells are insufficiently ventilated 3 and this together with the dampness causes foul smells to arise necessitating the jailor to keep quicklime in each aud and ever every y one to make tho the atmosphere endurable but at the same time a prisoner would have to undergo some hours confinement before he could bo be easy in such an aroma arising from all the combined causes prisoners expressed thora thera themselves selves satisfied with the manner in they were treated the only they found was with the dampness and insufficient ventilation the jail was as clean as could ba be expected under the circumstances and the prisoners appeared to be to well fed and cared for the city jail we found well kept and very clean separate cells being provided for women and men taken into custody for drunkenness i the bed places are of iron the i frames being built into the rock walls the room into which drunken I 1 men are put into to sober off being far superior in ventilation to any martof part of the county jail we cannot find and any fault with the city jail or its keepers and must give the jailor praise for the manner iu lu which his duties are performed the city eity and county officers rendered us all the assistance we needed il iq our ohr examination of these places readily and cheerfully in conclusion we would suggest that the attention of the proper county officers be called to the necessity of providing a suitable jail for this county either building one or by properly draining and ventilating the one now in use by a small outlay the one the cou county nty has can be vastly improved in t hese these respects should beleiro he tiro I 1 aided vided of either iron or wood your committee would suggest iron las i as the building being entirely of stone the frames could be fastened into the walls and floors in a manner precluding the possibility of prisoners taking them to pieces for the purpose of making weapons ye apons of them these suggestions are made because we do not consider it either right or just that a man confined ed in jail jall while awaiting tri trial al and unable to give bonds for his appearance should bould be made to in his health thereby and have the foundation laid for diseases which will probably hang to him for the remainder of his life ilfe respectfully submitted S W DARKE darue JOHN jonn HUBBARD E COVEY committee adopted by the grand jury I 1 march 1877 S W DARKE 8 D CONNER clerk foreman FROM SATURDAYS DAILY
