EW barr L josepn JOHN S cf R D MCDONALD committee ON reni AND ASYLUM your committee appointed to visit the territorial penitentiary and private insane asylum under the charge of dr S B beg to submit the following report we find the peni biary with a capacity of contains at prisoners dressed in prison garb with the exception of a few who haye recently been incarcerated and whose suits are being made for bliem the prison yard within the adobe walls is kept scrupulously clean and the same hlll apply to the sleeping apartments and babli room oatlie prisoners the food furnished is substantial well prepared wholesome and the prisoners affirm that they are well treated and no complaints to make and with two or three exceptions arc in good dealt li thero being little cm for alie prisoner they are generally idle which to say the least is a bad feature of the system but with no facilities for employing them within the walls their idleness is unavoidable however there has recently been established in one of the cells or sleeping rooms a school un tier a competent teacher one of the prisoners which is well attended add with good results the prison euarda ia our opinion are not as well provided for as they be their quarters when oil duty might and should be very inucci improved being close poorly aventi and with only low ceilings farnung alie roof of the building they occupy and must during warm weather be exceedingly uncomfortable their hours on duty being as we believe unusually long they should bo provided with comfortable sleeping quarters when on duty the private insano asylum under the charpe of dr 8 B young con coni i bains at present one private and fa teen county patients there being nine males and seven females all harmless we found them poorly dollied and apparently poorly fed and their accommodations in doors furnished in our opinion we find this establishment inadequate for the purpose as at present supplied and anneal that steps be taken through the proper channel for the transfer of alie county patients to the territory asylum we wish to call attention to alie caso of one nicholas crane a bedridden bed ridden of this institution who has been coni fined there paralyzed and help leaa for several years we cannot say whether or not ho would bo benefit ted by proper medical aid but think his caso well worth investigating as be is a man in the prime of life we understand however bo has been an inmate of different hospitals in the city prior to hia removal to the asylum with this exception the patients are all alicc 0 o be about and have spacious grounds for exercise the above report in brief we respectfully submit K P McDo NAPO I 1 M BAtt BATT t ta EU ku A J C II 11 committee |
