There were thme deaths, including one suicide; four im;ane r.omict were removed to King ·ton Penitentiary. There wa no e cape.

The enUre number of death. was thirteen, a remarkably low perrcntntre, con­sidering the many cotwiets who are received into the Penitentiaries in ~haltered henltb, and is pt·oof that sanitary rules and precaution~; arc pt·operly enforced, and that gt·eal caTe and ;tt!ontion are paid to the health of the 'pri oners, sick and well.

The total numbct· of convicts confined in the tiv Peuitcntiariel' of the Dominion, on 30th June, 188 WHH 1,094, a~ compared with 1,15!1, the numuer remainin::,n- in pl'ison on 30th June, 18 7. ThiH ·hows a decroaRe of 65, distributed at< followR :­Kingt:~ton, 28; St. Vincent de Paul, 4; Munitoha, 16; Bl'iti ·h Columbia, 21: while Dorchester haR !tn increa e of L This diminution i:-; not the result of a muller numbet· of ·riminalR having been ~;ent to the Pcnitcntiar·ies during the year that is being reviewed, than in the previous year, the contrary being tho fact, as there were 360 committals in 1877-78 m; againl:lt 351 in 1886-87 or 9 more in. the former yeat·. Jt is chiefly caused by lhe excost:~ of discharg <.1 convicts, 425 iu 1 7-8 , OYer the number liberated in 1886-87, viz., 392. The fact r maius, noverthelesl:l, that the fh.lling off in our Penitentiary population is mat'ked, and this is a matter upon whicl1 t.he country is to be congnttulaied. It is an evidence of tho general prosperity of the Dominion, because, in times of deprcsr;ion and financial l:itringency, it is found. that tho percentao-e of ct·iminals, who reach the Penitent.iarie , to the general popu­lation, is oonHidorably larO"er than when labout·, induBtry and enteqH'iRe are KuccesHful, and plentiful crops reward the toil of the husbandman.

By the deoreaRe in the numbe1· of convicts a EmbHtantial ~:~aving i · efl"ected, not ouly of the outlay which would be requir·od for maintenance, wet·e crime on the inm·ca~:~e, but alt~o for· addition::Ll accommodation. For some y ar pa ·t, it had been deemed necessary to add tt new wing to each of !h P nitentinr·ics in l\Ianiloba and J3ritish Uolumbia. Thei-le buihlings can be dispeni>lcd with, fot· ome tim to come, .and, thereby, the expendiLure of nt least $200,000 obviated.

I rogr·et being obliged to call attention to tho fact that the Warden~-1 and Chaplains complain that the rule establi~:~hed, about two yearR ago, of having tho bookR required for the librat·ies purchased through the Stationery Branch, i~:~ attend d with great inconvenience and delay, not to l:lltY lol:ls to the scvet·allibt·ar·i R. The former $Y tem, of having the books hought by the re~:;peotive Chaplains, waR most satisfactot-y and economical. No complaint ever· reached the Dep<M'tment, to my knowledge, against it. Tho Chaplains felt it to bo :1 ploasut'e at> well as a duty to obtain the best terms from pnblitlbers and bookl:lollers, and, iL may be saf1ly r>aid theyRLH'Ceeded in driving good bat·gaius for the librat·ie~:~ of which they are the guardians and patrons. What. was tho uece:sity, then, for making any change? It is not pot:~sible, fot· a mom nt, to suppose that the integl"ity of the Chaplain could have been doubted, OJ" that the fitne~:~s and judgment of the clergymen in the matter of buying a few hundred dollars worth of books, between them, could have been called in q uostion. If the new modus agendi were attended with ltny advantage or improvement one could under Land the logic of it; but, a the contrary is repotted by the officers alr·cady referred to, I beg leave to recommend that the Chaplains, who take so much interest in the libl'aries and the good l'esults which they produce, who are so competent to fulfil the task and who have already done so, be again on t.rustod with the pm·chase of the books.

Illu:trative of the objections which have been made to tJ1e inte1·vention of the Statione1-y Branch in this matter, allow me to quote the following from the I' pott of the Catholic Chaplain of Kingston Peni ten tia t·y. lie says:-

" The Catholic libl'fli'Y ufl'e1·s especially from this l'egulat.ion, ina!:!much a!:! good Catholic books are sometimes difficult to p1·omu·e, except one be t.horoughly acquainted with the difi'e1·ent Catholic publication houses. Some time ago I Rent. in a list of books I required fot· the libra1·y, which I eoul<l asily procul'e f1·om some hou es withm ten day . After a delay of two months 1 received a few of thet"~e books; many are yet to come, and one of t.hem, which I did receiv , " .Justin McC'arthy'.s Ilistory of Our Ou;n Times,' ' beside. being bound up with other books was r:o old and black from use that I had to di cal'd it. The ~:;oouer the old syr~tcm it~ restored the better fbi' th prisoners. The Chaplain is the one man who kuowr:; fully theit· :;pit·itual wantt- and the proper food for their minds, and now, as in the past, h shonld be promp(,)y p 1'­mitted to upply that food."

The Catholic {Jhaplain at 't. Vincent. de Paul alr~o expt·o,;r:;es his opinion that tlw librat·ies would derive benefit. f'rom t.be Chaplain!:! purchasing tho books. Wh rea;; Llw pre,ent plan wot·ks o injuriolll:;ly the1·e shoul l he no 1lifficu1Ly about the I' >medy.

The prospect of introducing a refot·m in out· Ponit<'uiat·y sy tem, which bar: enlir>ted my feeble advocacy, fot· many years, in thi;; Annual Repot·t, i~, I hope, r:;oon to be realized. I refe1· to the ir:;olation Ol' ccllulal' C'Onfinement of inconigible an1l habitual and all'lo newly r ceivod convicts. The oxpct·iment will lJe tried at Kingston, wbet·c it i, intended to build a block of'<· IIR, ~mitnblc for th0 put·pose, next l'lpring.

The di:;eontinuanco of Pentmtville Prison, a f'ew yeat·r~ ago, lit'ited diBCttssion upon them t·its of the sepiwate sy:;tem. The opinion of prat'tical and expet·iencud m •n app at·s to be in fitvor of it. 'fhose who oppo:>t• iL rlo ;;o on the gl'Ound thu t it· is injuriow; to mental and physi ·al health. In view of its adoption in out· Penitcntiat·iE>s it may be interesting as well as in.-tructi~·e to quote some opinions upon the :suhjcd whi ·h are entitled to res poet.

The Directors of' English l'onvi(·t Prison", in tltcir t' port fbt· thr year 1 5-Hti, apropos of the closing- of P nlonvillc Pri. on. Hny :-

"No evil l'Otmlt.- have followed :;in co t.ho loss sever • i:;olat ion and tho mot't' limited time were adopted. Although a <·omplete mot·al reformation i" no longet· expected to be t.he u~;ual result, the ~cpamtioJt ttndou btedly pt·eveut~; pt·isonOJ'H mentally contaminating ea~:h oLh01·, good infiuences have an opportunity of' aeling upon them, aml it has been found of t.he highe:;t. advantage aR a tl'aining and diReip­line, prepat·atoi'Y to the subsequent ~;tnges of' a senteuce of penal:; rvitude.

'' The advantages of the t>eparate HyBt m and t.he completonc~;s with which the design of the building "-at Penton ville-" wa,; adapted to its purpose having lJCcn established, a lat·ge major·ity of the pl'i~:>ons in the United \.ingdom, besideH many in the colonies and in foreign countl'ies, have been built on the same design.

•· The cellul:u· r:;yt>tem is stri ·Lly enforced in noal'ly all th Belgian pl'isoufl," Hays the late Rev. Dr. \Vines, in his admit·able volume on the London Pril:!on Congres~.

flucncc of solitude anrl the opportunity afforded for reflection and repontanc<.>, were all, in Mr. Steven's opinion, found in tho cellular ;;ystom. In tt word, he considered that no :-;ystcm attained mol'e directly ot· perfectly t.h vat·ious objcct8 of pnnit;hmeni •-" repros ·ion, cxpiatiou, pt·cvcntion a.nd rofot·mation." Its re. ults in Belgitlm have abnmhmily ju.;tified its adoption. The official ret urns proved as far back as 1872, t.hat. the average numb t· of t·ceidi\rists was -I:· ·W per cent. of tho e leaving cellular p~i>~ons while it was ()8·80 pet· cent. of tho~c liberated from congt·egate prisons. hu;tly, Ml'. Rtevens states the rcnutrkablc fa •t that in Belgium the number of ]Jritwnct·, had decrease~!, d nring the pt·evious six ycat·s, that is from 1st Jan unt-y, 1886 to 1Ht Jannat·y, 1872, from 7,000 to 4,000, a result which he attributed, in great ptu·t, to the introduction of tho cellular !iyl:ltem.

M. Berenget· deputized to aLLond the Uongt·e::;s by the Commission appointed to inllllire into the condition of J~'rench pl'isOnl:-1 and ~;uggest improvement~;, m·owed him~;elf an advocate of the l:lepat·atc ystem.

IIet'l' Ekert, Dit·o tor of the cellular. priHOn at Brucht>al, in Badon, said that ;;eparatc impril:lonment in Gennany " produced excellent resulti:i." Formerly, the maximmnduration of cellular impri:-;onment was ten years; tho now G-erman peual code hnl:i fixed it at only two ycat·H. llct·t· Ekert announced himself an earuost upporter of tho cellular ::;ystem aJI(l concnt'l'cd in all the conclusions of ~1t·. Stevent~. In hi own pri,..on he ha~-J :<eon convict:; liYc thirteen yearH in ,.;eparate onfinement without any inconYenience. lie alleged that. recidi'ri t: were very rare among tho o who had undergone this punitJhmont, and furnished result~ tending to t'lhow that its influence on the mom! and physical health of Lho prisonet'H waR very beneficial. IIe added that all prisonel's, excel L 1 pet· cent. c·ould endure collular confinement for life, without injlll'y.

Dr. Val'l'entt·npp, of' Fmnkforf, expreH ed him,.; ' lfstl'<lngly in favour ofth cellular Hyl:!t.em, a prcfet'CJtCc which be ..:aid was Kupportcd by the experience and fltwiy of fol'ty year;;.

Mr. Ploos Van .A.m::;tel sbtted that the Belgian or c~llulat· l'.Y tom i largely in O]Wration in llolland. Tho maximum of separate <:onfinomcnt i · two year~. The priHonet·s are employed in a variety of industries. AI!. a magil:ltmto and inspector he had fo1· many yeat·s vi!iited the pl'iKonet·s in tho ccl lul:l.r pt'il:!on of .A.m terdam, and always found their health oxcollont, bottet· even than he found it in collective p1·isons. lie never observed bad results, eith J' as l'espects their mot·al ot· physical condition.

M. Almguist Raid that in Rwoden l:lcriou~; attention wal:l given to penitentiary reform. The cellular Rystcm iR there in opet·ation and ha~:~ not ueen followed by the evil rc:mltR attributed to it by its advo1·sat·ies. The pt·isonerR enjoy better health in tlHl cellular Lhtm in tho collective p1·i ons, while theca es of inl'anily are fewer in the for·mer prisons.

Dt·. :M:arqual'(loon, of BaYaria, favored separaL confinement and stated that, in Gennany, cellular impriRonmeni was geuerally limited to three ycat·~.

Dr. Prey slate l that in .A.uRLt·ia the term of isolated confinement did not exceed three years, while the longest term of impril:lonment, for any offence, wa~:~ twenty yeal's.

- --=-=---=-:

In Belgium, according to Mr. Stevens, the maximum of cellular confinement had been reduced from twenty years to ten, and then to nine and a-half, when, if a mau was found to be no better·, he wm> placed in a congregate prison. H had not been found, howevet·, he affirmed, that pl'it:~oner·s suffered more, cithet· in mind or body, under the cellula1· than under· the UHROciate ;;yAtem.

Jebb, for·merly Director of Convict Prisons, Lhc rcsultl::i of which showed that eighteen month~:~ was the longe:;t poH~;iule period for· which i oln.tion could be safely maintained. He adds,- "' A'il. the earliest stage of detention, I have the highest opinion of its importance; I believe every system of prison discipline would fail without this preliminarT ~;tage for r·eflection, so specially well adapted as it is for repentance and 1·eligion in,;truction. It ,;hould be ever held to be the ba iH of all prison system:;."

Fur·ther evidence in favour of the cellular or separate system might be adduced , but the fbl'egoing will ·how that it has been adopted a11d canied into . ·uceeR~ful

operation in Heveral countrio~:~, un the Continent. The effect UJ)On bodily and mental health and the duration to which it may be extended, without. risk, al'e :sot forth hy the eminent men whose :statements have been quoted.

From all this it may be afely concluded that the i~;olation of newlyrecci,rcu con­vict , for eill'ht or nine months, for the object mentioned by Sir Walter CI'ofton, and of incorrigible for at least cigh teen month , to l'eform and prevent them corrupting tho~e who a1·c well inclined, can be tried with all safety. The experiment is col'1ainly worth a trial. It i,' the first efl'cctual :>tcp towards real and t'adical1·eform. In cellular COll­

finemcnt the prison officct·s, especially the Chaplains, can have an O)Jportunity of studying the moral ~tate of the convict which leadl:l to crime. Thi ~bnonnal con­dition we have been altogether ignoring, looking only to the penal character of tho prisoner's tl'eatment. It hm; been well t:~aid,-" All Jegil:llation which stops with Lhl.' punishment of crime, ami doe:s not aim effectually to pt·cveni it, is imperfect." Now, to imp1·ove the pr·isoner, to develop in him the germ~:~ of whatever good RentimentH be may posses,., were they but the scnt.iment of mater·ial interest, if he have no other~;, sentiment. with which, neverthele~s, he will be able to tight his depraved appetites; to give him the habit and the love of'labOJ', by which he will be able to live honestly; and to a!'l·ive at these results by such humane processes a can be followed during a period of isolation, this il:l the true means ofpl'eventing crime. It is not claimed thai all or·iminall:l who may be placed in cellular confinement will be capable of being improved, 1·eformed by moral Ll'eatmcnt. This system, although the most rational , will notal wayt:J succeed. The moral nature of ass a sins and habitual cr·iminals is so bad that they will sometimes continue rebellious to the end. NeverthelosR, moral treatment , surrounded with the necessary precautions, ought still be tl'icd upon them, and may produce mar·vellous re. ults. llowever tbat may be, the criminal ought to re-enter· society only when he ha>~ given guat·aotees of safety by his good conduct and i11duRtJ·y, in the pril:lon, and not at the end of a term fixed in advance by the law, a~ is the caRe in om· pre cut system, which makes punishment its Role aim. In a better Ky:>tem, which raises the Penitentiary qtlet:~tion to the t·ank of a science, each prisoner ~:~hottld be studied individually and tJoeated accor·ding to bis charactet· and acco!'ding to the degree of moral idiocy with which he is affected.

of all the Penitentiaries m·e supposed to be pttl. upon ncb work as is available for· them, the prisone1·s could have little to do in tho IYay of manufact1rring and repairing needed article>~, except fol' the prison in which they are confined.

'l'he discipline her·e ha~ t-~tcadily improved, owing lo incroa~ed Yi~il:rutc anll mor· stringent enforcement of tho rules.

The \Va1·den r· p1·esents the conduct of the pr-i:onCt'l:l to have been good; no ·eriom.l violation of t·ule or· no case of corporal punir;hment ii:i t·cpo!'ted; and t.hc officer;; painstaking and r·eady to perform any duty that. had been a"·igned to them.

The Pt·ote~:;ta.nt Ch<tplain finds everything satisfactory in connectiou with hit:J

duties. He notes an impl'ovement in the management of the library, in the way of cataloguing and giving OUt the UOOkK.

The Catholic Chaplain notices the excellmtt e:;prit de corps among the officers, "which facilitates the maintenance of di ciplii1c and P''escrves good order in every department." Those under hit:~ charge have been "attentive to instruction, docile to advice, and submissive unde1· con·eciion, n.t all time .. " He referfl to the good work done in the school.

The Chaplain recommem\s ilie remoYal of consumptive connct:-; and other~:~ not likely to recoYe1· to their own homes or tci tho City Hospital, before death, as a prison is not a fit place to die in. "Society," he says, "cannot be injured by their release, and the ends of ju. tice cannot be ~;e,·veu by keeping them until they die. No matter what care they receive in the p1·i~:~on ho~;pital (nn<.l they at"e always kindly treated there) the gr·ating sound of the iron <.loors, and the chcerlesH cell, and the bare prison wallr:; and all theil· suJTounclingfl, make death more terrible and the consoling t.rnths of religion le.;::~ sweet, as they fall npon the ear of the dying prisoner. Let a man feel that he is fi.·ee once more and no longer an outcast from society and he can dispor<e himself to <lie with gl'eater resignation to the will of God who call· him hcneo. Surely Justice, without inju1·y to he,·:;elf; can afford t.o be me,·cifill, at the hou1· of death. I h:wc been led to the~c remarks by the piteom; appcahl made to me a few days ago, by a con ·umptiYc convict, whose life i,; fast ebbing awuy."

While fully concurring in the humane a})(l Christian Jolentiments expt·e. s d by the Chaplain, I mu~;t say they a1·e calculated to load to lhe impres ion that moribund convict!:!, as :L rule, are not released, but arc hold to die in tho Penitentiary. This is not, Lho filet. It is tho duty of the Sm·geon to ropot·t t.o the Warden upon every case that he con~idcr · will end fatally, ·and it it> the Warden't> dnty to tmnsmii all l:lUCh

report~:~ to the Inspector for the information ot' the MiniHtor. During my connection with the Department I do not know of any in~>tance in which a convict, in ce1·tain dangel' of death, wa. not libemted. lt sometim ~:~ happens that a <lying convict has no home to go to nor f1·iendR to receive him as his last hour n.pproaches, and, as a matter of necessity, he dies in the hospitnJ cell, whore, us the Chaplain truly says, he is "kindly treated." Were ihe Warden, o1· the Chaplain thl'ongh the Wanlen, to 1·eport upon the friendle:,;l:l conclitioll of any convict whose recovery is hopeless, and who oxpres~:~es 1t wish to die in the city or other hospital, 1 prel:lume it i~:~ not going too far to "ay thai you, Sir, would be dir:;por:;ed to lend a favourable ear to the dying wish of tho .Pl'ison r, provirletl <tnangemeut:.; coulu Le made with the hospital authorities for his 1·ecoption. . In :mch case, tho gmLuity, travelling expense. and pl'ice of the discharge clothing which the convict would be entitled to, bad he lived, might be prope1·ly applied to eover the whole or :t portion of the hospital expense .

Tho Sn1·geon repol'ts the hygienic condition of the institnt.ion as "very satiRfuc­Lory, and the health of the convicts, for the most part, good." There has been no epidemic. Only two accidents that conltl be classe<.l as l:leJ•tou~:~ o ·cutTed; one cau:>ing

The report of the 8 ·hoolma~o;ter showr; that tlwrc has been a daily avorag0 attendance of 110, that the pt·ogt·ess ba been good, and that thopriRoncrl'l, in gene1·al. who go to Rchool, appear to fully appreciate the p1·iviloge cxtOJtdod to them.

The 'Varden, in his report, montionH the WOt'kK of importance upo11 which the labour of the convicts had been employed throughout the year. Much haR been done ()n capital a ·count, and the value of the property proportionately enhanced.

Meanwhile, you have authorized me to instruct the Chaplain to ask for whatever repairs or improvements he might see fit to have made in the one now in u . Rev. Mr·. Allan did not think anything necc sm-y.

DoaonESTER PENITENTrARY.

The Warden :-;tateH that the conduct and industry of the convict~-;, with few exception~, have been very good. He also reports very favotmably of the staff'.

He mentions tho variou. improvements and repairs which wore made under your sanction. Among these may be noted, specially, the officer~:~' quat'ters, which fi·om the outset, have been in a wretched 'ondition. I am glad that, at length, something iH being done to make these hou.-es habitable Dut·ing the luf;t Hoven years I have made every effort towardt~ this end.

Referring to the withdrawal of the Clerk of Work· het·elofore employed at this Penitentiary und r the Public Works Department, I con ider it due to him to state that he rendel'ed good ~:~m·vice to thePeuitentiatT. 'fhe slrilfuland ~uccossful manner in which ho fitted up the machinery in the work~:~ho1 s, and in tho machine shop, and the admirable construction of the reservoirs, at the head of the water­work , wilh their many ut~eful and ingenious appliances, arc standing evidences of hi~; supot·iority a· a me ·hanic. Indeed, the pt·oofs of thiK, in and at·otmd the buildingl:l, are numerous and varied.

The di:ffet·ent wol'l{s requiring killed labour are now done by the convict:; under the direction of' the staff T1·ade Instructors.

The Protestant Chaplain notes the pleasing fact thaL there has been no increase in the number of" boy convJctt~," and that thol:le .YOuths now in the Penitontiat·y are looked after with special care.

"The conduct of the prisoners in chapel," ho says, "leaves nothing to bo desired for reverence of manner and for general attention to all that is said and done."

lie refers in happy terms to the decoration and improvements which were being made in the chapel ur;etl in common by Protestants and Catholics. It i ·, a the Chaplain so well disct·ibes it, "the one bl'ight spot where there i~; no unnecessary trace of a prison, but, contrariwise, where all i;; suggel:ltive of higher and better things."

The Rev. Mr. Campbell add~ his testimony to that of the other Chaplains in favour of the school and library.

xxiii

The Catholic haplain speaks in high terms of the good conduct of the convicts committed to hi:; ehm·ge, of their piety and attention dn1·ing divine woi·ship of the improvements made in the chapel, and of the kindnet~K and rrood will of the stait' in assi~ting him in the di:;ch:wgo of his duties.

The Surgeon 1·eport~ the hygienic ondition of the prii:!OH to be such a · "to justify former prodictionll." lie considers that t.he general good health which obtains i~;

ln.rg ly attriblltablc to th salubrious site ofthe Peniteutilti'Y and the scrupulou- clcn.n­line"s whi ·h prevails.

The wate1· supply, the Snrgeon 1:my:-~, continue rrood n,nd hn~> been abundant CXl' pt on one occasion, when a broken pipe caused a deficit. There can be uo better Ol' pu1·er water. Whil::;t on this subject, I recommend that the suggestion of the Wa1·dcn, to have water ·onveyeu from anothet· source, on the Penitentiary g1·ounds, by mean;; of pipes, to the officers' quarterA, bo arried into effect. The Surgeon also t~wour this proposition as tt means of obviating, at any time, any inconvenient Hhorl<tgo in the water supply to tho pris011.

The Sui·acon staLes that in August and September, 18 7, a very bad typo of dia.n·hrea made its appear·ance. Ninety-six men we1·o attacked, of whom twenly­t>even had to be treated in hospital ; one convict diod, "fr·om sheer exhaustion, on the fifteenth day artei' his admist>ion to hospital." No ;;astisfactory can e for the outb."eak of the di,.oaHe has Leon di~;cov red. 1 t also prevailed in the neighbourhood. The Slll'geon is convinced that tho food had nothing to do with it, and h ~ay nothing about defective d1·ainagc.

The phy•·lical and mcutal ·ondition of the pi·il:lonors received during the ymu· is I'oported by the Stll·geon to bo botle1· 1han usual; thei·o is " lel:!s of that class of par­tially unaccountable ct·eatlll'es Lhat arc loo often sent hero," am! "none were received that arc unable to wo1·k". Five boyl:! "below sixteen years of age" were committed to tho Penilentiar·y. Of the two who died, one wal:! tho Lasca1·, a native of Sumatra, who waR tried for murder in lialif'a.·, in July 1851, and Rontcnced to death. lie spent thirty-six years in pril:lon, and became RO reconciled to hi condition and RUr­J'oundingK H!" t be unwilling to accept his liberty.

Tho report. of the Surgeon is very full and in1ere. ling.

The Schoolmal:lte1· hal:! had a daily average of lorty, aud make:; favorable men Lion ()f the conduct and progre s of lhoHo in attendance. 'l'he arrangement made to have the "boy convicts" taught separately from the adultH is a good one and !:!hould be conlinnetl.

Though tb sad event did not occur within the year under review, yet, a~ it happened rsinc thi. report was begun, I deem it not amiss to mention the terl'ible catastrophe. I refer to the death of Mr. George Keeffe, Deputy Warden, which took pla«e on the lOth, and ofM1·s. Keoffo, which occurred on the 16th instant. The quarters of the Deputy Wa1·den wore dil:!oovet·ecl to be on fire about 11 o'clock on the night of the lOth Decembe1·. That officer and his wife were found m the passage, out ide their bedroom, lying in an unconscious condition, and the former dio<l within half-an_ hour. The Inttet· surviv d until the following Sunday moming, 16th December, having for a short time partially recovered consciousnos~:~. The fire broke out in tho

xxiv

sitting-room on the fir ·t floo1·; it is ~mpposed to have been cau~ed by the live ashes from M,·. Keeffe's pipe falling 011 the window-sill, aK he J1ad been ~moking before J'etiJ·ing to bed at 9 o'clock, having emptied the pipe, a.· he thought, and then placed it on the window. No doubt, the smoke penetrating the bedroom abov awakened one or both of the ill-fated couple; but, alas! too late to save life, although !tn elfo1·L had been made to this end, ns iK evident from the position in which they lay outside the bedl'oom. IIad not the Warden been misinformcu abont Mr. aml M1·s. Keeffe being at ~1emrameook, his att.ention would have been fit·Ht direct d to their aparL­mcnlf;, aml in all human )ll'Obability their live:s micrht have been H!wed. Mr. Keeffe was a thoroughly experienced, intelligent ami efficient. prison office~ ·. lie t:~ecu1·ed the good will and ready obedience of officel'l:l and conviet.H, alike, by his even temper, the exerci e of good judgment, and hi keen ~;ense of 1·icrht nnd juRtic .

I bnve to note, with rrgr t, the death of Dr. Tt·ew, the , nrgeon of the Peniten­tiary, from typhoi(l fever. He was appointed when tho Penitenl.iary waH openrcl in 1 78, and was ptwctual and attentive in the (lisch:nge of hiH dutieH.

Tho Pt·otestnnt Chaplain nolo~ that tho ·omluct of the convict>~, during divin<> l:lervice, "haH bern sat.iKfacLot·y." Tic l'egr·ots that,· owing to the proximity of the chapels and to tho serviccR in both being held at th' ~amo hom·, HO important a pat·L in divine wort> hip :lH the Hinging of prni~o to God mnl'lt nccc~Kat·ily b' omitted. In my la~t annual report I referred to tho fact of tho chapel:; being too small nml over­crowuod, anti. to the neceR:,;ity of building suitable placoK of wor~hip. I bog leave Lo recommend that two chapels be built, thii:! next ::;eason, on tho 1:mme plnn a. t.hm;e recently et·ccte(l for· :Manitoba Penitentiary.

Both Chaplain bear loHtimony to tho succe:ssful working of the i:!Chool under the assirluon'l mana«ement of tho Accountant, Mr. Keat"y. The Warden ah;o mn.kes 1:1p cia! mention of this officer's zeal and effort!:! in connection with tho school and oxpr·es:>cs a hope that his 1-lervioes will be more liberally r·omunerated. In thiflt•ecom­mondalion I concm·. Owing to the number ofludianK aml Chinese under instruction, the Hchool duttes are exceptionally lauoriottl:l and difficult. As the rmmlt of groat pain~:~ and patience a l~tt·go propot·Lion of tho. e loam to read, write and cypher very well.

Wh n building the chapolto it will ue nee s a1·y to make provision for a. chool-room a:-; has been don at Rtony Monn~ain.

Tho Acting Sur·geon, Dr. W. A. DeWolf Smith, reportt:! the avcr·age health of the convicts, dttring the yo:u·, to lmve been "exceedingly good." lie refer~ to the groat want that oxi~ts of a hospital. This will be Rupplicd, I hope, in the cout'RC of next year, by COllVOJ'ting a portion of tho Deputy wa,·den' qttartcrs into an infirmiLry as soon as the Warden's residence sha,ll have boon completed.

The Surgeon describes the s!lnitary condition of the married officers' qnarter1:1 as "extremely bad." ITo ,.;ay::;,-" It is Impet·ativo that something sbouhl be dono, at <>neo, to remedy the exiHting :;tate of affait·s. .A. auitahlo drnin Hhould be con,;tructed ft·om tho hou.·e~-< to the river, and water-closets sub~;t,i Luted for the dry c:wth boxe~ which are now in use."

In my last Annual Repol't, I roprc;;entecl th very t.msaLisfactory manner· in which the prcs~:~ing rcquir·ements of thi Penitentiar-y were met, by the Agent of the Department of Public· Wol'ks, at Victoria. He Heem to have Hindied, vet-y carefully­the " how not to do it; " or, if done, the how lo botch i L system of' his two prodeces, sor·s, aR regards the Penitentiary. Du1·ing your vi:sit, la~t autumn, to this institution, . ome of the many exit:~ii 'ng defects were brought undo1· your notice, fot· whicl1 remeuies had been a ked, fortbe last. len year·s, from the Depanment of Public Works . Under your instructions I made application to thut Department, aO'ain, in, eptember, 1 7, to upply a number of want!:!. Among these wor·e, a I'O!:Iidenef' for the War·den, propet· drainage of the officoJ·s' quarter , suitable water·-clo~:~ets, ini:lteacl of eat·th pit8 for the same, a roof fot· tho P nitenti:wy building, repnir!:! to the wol"lcshopt:~, a better water supply, etc. When vit:~iting here, lal:lt July, I found that nothing whatever had been done regarding uny of these much needed work!:!, owing, as I have been informed, to the report of the Agent to tho Depal'tment of Public Wol"lcs, that what bad

xx.vii

been msked for, under you1· authority-the Wat·den't~ hou~:~e excepted-as above men­tioned, were not t•eq uil'ed. The report of the Sul'geon respecting the drainage and earth vrivies corroborateH my own and the Wnl'den's reports on those matterJ'. The Deputy Minister of Pttblic Works, Mr. Baillairge, saw the condition of the roof, the basement floor, the wnter supply, the drainage, tho work hopH, etc., lhll'ing his Yisit, la~t >mmmor, and he can stty whethet· 01· not Lh'e Agent of his Depat'tment was justi­fied in seeking to diRot·odit, with tho Minil:ster of Pnblic Wot·kl:l, the official statements of the Inspector and Wat·den tmn!lmitled, with yom· sanction, to the Sccretm·y of tho Department of Public Wot·ks.

BlHewhere, the Agents of the Public Work~:~ Depal'tment consult the Peniten­tiary authoritie · in t·eforence to worktl to bo done Ol' in progr·es1:1, in view of giving sati!lfaction and of meeting the views of this Department. In this Penitentiary the contrary has been the rule. Tho ~Suggestions of eminently practical men, which eventually proved to be correct and had to be adoptee( hr.vo met with cool contempt and neglect.

The water supply to the Penitentiary was very defective, during my last visit. Fot· . orne days a total failure wa apprehended. 'rhi at'OJ'e from the dam having been badly constru ted and being in a leaky condition. This work was done under the direction of the Public W ot·ks' Agent, a few years ago. The reservoir was left in an unfinished and mo:-;t unt:Jightly condition. A gang of convicts, under ordinary supervi ion, wotlld have turned out a bettor job. Captain Perley of the Public Works Department knows something ofthi~:~ work.

Ten lamp-po ts wet·o al:!kotl for, by you, for Lhe ground~:~ and cet'tain points out_ side the Penitentiary or elsewhere. At first, the Agent l'epot'tcd again~:~t these posts being allowed at all. When ol'der·ed to procure them he caused pine po. ts to be up­plied, instead of irou, although ceuat· rots in the ~:~oil, within two ye~ws, and although a balance o.f several hundt· d dollars, ft·om the appt·opriation for the gas supply was av-ailable to pay fot· the iron posts. This is only another instance of the dispo­sition that exi ts to run counter to the requi itions and wiilhes of' Lhis depat·tment howevet· needed or rea onablc.

The bal't'ac.k requil'ed fot· the single officer~:~ has bomqmt up. I shalll:!ay nothing clbout its architectural del:lign OL' mel'its, further than to t'emark that, 0110 Of the oat­meal mills, Lo be seen' on the prairie, neat• Pot·tage Ia Prait·ie or BL"andon, mu~;t have been taken as the model. The1·e was ample g1·ound whereon to build a nice two-stot·oy house, well laid out, instead of the non-descript stnwture which form the fronLibpiece to tho Penitentiary. The upper t·ooms are utterly poilctl by the slant of the ceilings. The provision made for heating could hardly be wor e, all the bedt·ooms-oight out of ten, I think-being "left out in the cold." By a strange over· ·ight, hall stoves ot· a placefot· them, in the upper or lowet· passage, did not enl r into the conception of th architect I The dining aud sittingroom , instead of having grates, as is usual in this climate, are to be heated by stoves, which for the gl'ealct· pal't of the year will be found an intolerable nuisance. The drain, undet· constl'uction when I la~t

saw it, was unsuitable and defe tive. I instructed the Warden not to take ovel' the

12-2t

banack ti·om the Agent of the Public WorkR Department until the means of heating it and !L good drain :<bonk! be provided.

The Warden mentiom> the fact that a mangle-not asked fbi' ot· required-had been ·et up in the launclr'Y, and that a boiler and engine have be n placed in po~>ition there, for no other visible pnrpo~>e than to drive the mangle, as tho machinery con­nected with it proves. The mnn~le, a!'l tho Warden ~tat~~, il'l usele:<s; so are the engine and boilet· as they now r<tand. Tho machinist, a practical man, who placed the boiler and engine in po~:~ition, lw reported thal the wot·kshops and priAon could be heated by . team were another boiler acldod. 'l'he Agent of the Public Wot·ks Department asserts that this could Dot be !lone. IL may be asked wore the engine and boiler suppli d simply to turn the mangle? Tho boiler i~ not roquirou to heat the laundry, other moanH IHwing been }H'OVidocl fot· thnt pur]JO"e. In order to utilize the boilet·, now in the laundry, J woul!l t·ecommend that an additional one ue Huppli.etl to heat the wOL·kRhopR ancl pt'tHon, having fi1·~:~t. cstablil:lbed the fact that this iA practicable. I cannot uggest any nRc for the engine.

While :tl New Wel:ltminstot·, ncting upon youl' :-;aneLion, I instmctc!l tho Wanlon to have tho following work,; I:!Ct on 1i>ot:-tho roofing of the prison building, the erection of F<table:; and other outoiliee~, l'U 'tiring tho workshop~:~, the draining of the offi<·or:;' quartet·~, tb ·laying of'n water pipe fl'om tho Penitentiary main to tho~;e quarterR, ancl the couercting of the entire basement of the Penitontiat·y. The Wanlen has t·epot·tcd the completion of thosn wot·ks in th(' mmd. Hatit:lihctm'Y mannet·, :wei at eompamtivcly small expenclitm·P.

Owing to the 1lifficulty which has been lwrctotbt·e cxperienecd in having tho needs of thi~-; Penitentiary ~:tti:;J:wtOI·ily mr.t by the Pu hlic·. W ol'lcs Dopal·tment., ~mne change woul!l appearto he very <101-lil'nhlc. It iF; in viewofb1·ingingthil'labont, and.n1)t in any fault-finding ><pit·i't, that I hnvc consider•d it nece~~ary, no mattel' how rclue­tautly, to ~tate, for yolll' inf<n·rna1 ion, how un!laiil'ifite!.ot·y iR the eharacter of the wot·k,; which have he n dono under tho direction nf the Pnblie \Yorks' Agt'nt, and bow unplca~ant m·o the relationH which exil'lt between thnt gentleman and tho;;o charged with the wlminiHtration of the Penitentiary.

As there i~:~ evet'Y t·en. ·on to fear that th prc. ·cnl water ;;upply may give out in a few .. yoat'K, or in fact at any Limo, it wouhl be advis:Lhle, I think, to enter into !:lOme al'!'angement wit:U the company which pt'Ol)Qses to AUp])ly waiet· toNewWeRtmint~tcr from the Coquitlam Lake. If, as was recently intended, the pipes be laid through !t

Another impt·ovement , which you will agree with me a:> being a \rery JlC<: .·snry one, iH th • enilwgement of tho cel ls. Thi. is :t matte•· t.lu1t ha. fl'equontly boon •· fel'l'ed to by you in your minutcH ttnd various reports. Owing to the winding up of Lh lock contract we are now in a hotter p01:;ilion to go on with those works than ever before. The variOl1K wOJ'k,.; at which the men formet·ly _octupied by :\It·. Sp nc ,. have been employed since the clo~ing of the contra ·t will ~>OOn be :tini. hod an1l the pt·oulcm ofu::;eful employment will again pt·esent ib;elf. In view of !hi, and tho pt·e~sing Hocessity there is for !he improvement·, ail· ady monti0110d, I would l'e~pel't.­fuJly urge that they be taken in hand and the wm·ks gone on with , thus s J'Vi11g the double pu1·pose of giving profitable mployment Lo the men anrl oblitel'ating the greatest defect in the im;titutiou, viz, :;he small nc:sH of th c Us.

Much has been done during the year to improve the outside propet'ty of the prison, by filling up the unf4ighlly quany holes with the equally unsightly heap, of stripping in the vieinity.

The 40 foot road running tht:ougb the propel'ty bas been put in thorough repair and a new and sui stantinl fence built along that portion of its ft·ont where it was needed, thus giving the place the well-kept look it shoulcl have.

The piece of ground formerly used by the Agl'icnltu1·al Association for exhibition purpo>~es, and which was last year turned over to us, has been put in working order and will prove a valuable acqnisiiion to the farm.

The crops, owing to the almoHt unprecedented dry weathet·, do not at present look up to the avcr·age, but will compare very favorably with those of OUL' neighbors, and I trust the late rains may be of benefit to the root crops at least.

The piggery is well adapted for the pU!·pose intended, and is a vast improvement on the dilapidnted structure it r plnced.

The conduct of the prisone1·s clut·ing the year has been very good; there have been no ilagrnnt br·eaches of discipline, and it gives me pleasur·e to ~tate that, as will be seen from the return, "Summary of Punishments Inflicted" corporal punishment has not been resOL·ted to.

The library, school, a light in the evening~; and the desire by all the men to profit by the remis~>ion of sentence granted them for good conduct, are all conducive to the good order and discipline of the place.

I have to thank the officers, who, a~ a whole, have been painstaking in thedischaTge of their vat·ious duties and are ever ready to do what may be required of them.

There remained in this Penitentiary on the 30th June, 1887, 526 males and 28 females, making a total of 554.

REPORT OF TIIH PROTHSTANT CITAPLAIN.

KINGSTON PENITENTIARY, 3rd July, 1888.

Sm.,-I have tl1c honor to report, t.hat everything iu onncction with my duties has boon satisfactory for tho year ended the 30th J nne, 1888.

During the year the librarian~; worked out a new syl:ltemofcaLaloguino- and giving out the book~>, which :~eems to succeerl better than the ol<.l failhion. enabling the moo to make a better selection, and allowing every one to see easily whai ihe library really contains. I regurd this at.~ a most efficient aid to reformation, as the society of a good book it:~ almo:;t us elevating to the convict as the society of its author woulcl be. The men avail tbemaelve:; of it, toagreatdegree, and although, naturally, theyscek amul'! ment rathe1· than inRtruction, yet, tho number of Looks of n sub~tantial ehamct.er in circn.lation is ve1·y large, amonniing, on an ave1·age, to about, 150, of which between thirty-five and forty nrc of n pmely religious nature. I am also informed by the librai·iaH thai Lhe greatcsL readers of fiction are alr.;o the men who iitudy the histories und other w01·ks of general informat,ion.

[ think, too, that the convicts are beginning to undert'tand that, it i~ their int.OI-eHt, as a body, to take care of the books. '

REPORT Olj' TIIB CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN.

KrNOSTON PENI'l'EN'rr.ARY, 3rd .July, 1R8t-..

SIR,-I have much pleasur·o in informing you that en~rything he1 c is most ~ati~iactor·y. This in-;titution hat< been admimbly managetl during the past year. Thoro i~<, amongst the officor!l of tho pr·ison, an e.xeollont esprit de cotps, which greatly fhcilitate~> tlre Huceest" f'ul main Lenance of discipline mnongo;t the p;-isoner·r; and pt'el'ler·yer; good order in ever'Y department.

ln the pe;·formanee of my duLy I htwe fouu<l tho~o under· my (;barge attcnti\·(\ to intitruction. docile to advice and ~mbmis,.;ive under cor·r·octinn at all times. In my visits to the school I have seen many pr·oofs of the _good work effected by .:Vfr ·. Mathewson and his asl'istant teacher·s. Att<•ndnnec nt the cla,;seH Rhonlrl. I think, be made compulsO!'J, at least for all the unlettered.

I am entirely convinced that commmptive convict~:~ and all othera who canuQt po.·­sibly r·eC:OVOl' from theit• :;i ·kJieHii 1:1h0uld Ue J'Cl1lOYecl from tho prhon either io their· own homes or to the city hospitals bef()l'e tlJC hour of deal h come:<. 'rhe priHmr i:< not the place to die in. Soeiety cannot be injured by their· rcle:u;e, and it cannot nitl the endr.~ ofjw;tice to keep them until they die. No matt or what clLr·e tltcy reenivn in tIre prison hnspital (and they ate always kindly treated ther·e ), the g .. ating ~;o tmd oft he iron rloor·s and the cheel'less, empty cell, and tho bm·e pr·iRon walll'. and all their :;unourHlingH make death mm·e tel'l'iule and the consoling ll'llths of religion les" sweet as they fall upon the ear of the dying wisoner. J.Jet a man feel that he i,; frl'e once more and no longer an outca!:it from I'Ociety and he can di po~<e himtielt' to die with g1·cater r·e.· ignation to the will of Hod, who call:; him hence. Surely .Jnstice, without any injury to itself, can affor·d to be mcr·eifnl at tho hour· of death. I have been led to these remar·k:-: uy tho pileoul:! appeal:-: made to me, a few dayt{ ago, by a consumptive convict whose life i::; i~t!lL ebbing away.

The library is con::;tantly fl'eguentod by tho men, !'ome of whom have developed great taste tor religious, Hcientitic and cntcr·Laining r·eadi11g. lt i:-: a pity thai the usefulnel'h of this liumry, which j,; rmch a powcl'f'ul clement fbt· good in the reforma­tion of convicL~:!, should ue HO much impnir·ed by tbo reccni reguhLLion iu regard tt> lhe purchase of Looks.

t:lnt,-1 have the honor to :mbmit to you my annual I' port , wi~h the usual l:ittttisties, for the yen1· ended :30th June, 18 8.

'l'he bygienit condition of this instiLution is very ..;atil:!ia ·tory, and tho health of the COHYiet., for the moHt pn1'1 , gootl. It i:; a matter of~>nl·pri..;e that, cc nsidering the elm;~; of men admittecl here fron1 time to time, so lit.tJe di~ease of a set·ious type pt·e;~ents itself'. Wore it not for the gr·eat attention paid by the authoritie to drainage, food , ventilation, &c., it would undoubtedly be oihonvi ·e.

No epidemic ltas appeared this year among the convicts, and although the number· admitted into hospital has I.Joen slightly in ex 'e8S of last year the death !'Ute among tho cwdinary population from tli~ea,;e hm; been loss, only one, antl that an olcl man of seventy, ba\' ing tlied . lie wa:; taken into hospital on tho 27th August. and departed this life on tho following day. Canse of death , pneumonia. We have at pr·es nt. umle1· treatment ten.

Few accidents have occurred, ancl only two or a ill~riouH natut·e. One unfortunate man r·oceivetl a severe injury to his I fL eye whil working in the stone shetl, caused by a chip of Rtone skiking him on and penetmting the cornea, allowing a part of the i1·is to protrude (prolapsus iridis), the result being partial lo:-;:- of vision; another a lacoratc<l wound of ihe t.bumb, ne<•o,.;;itatiog amputation of that member ~•t the metacnr·po-phalangeal ai'ticulation.

Sut,-I have the honor to submiL tho ilJllowiug repol't concerning th ~talL' antl mana,gemont of tho ~chool for the :fi~cal yoa1· ended :-10th .Juno, 188 .

Tho branehe~ taught m·c ~polling, rearling, Wl'lting and arithmetic, and the aventge daily attenrlance of 110 pupils have been a;;sig11ed to the following <.:la>~«c~, viz.; 20 in pt·imary cln.Rti; 24 in Fi1·~( .Reader, with spellin~ anll tableti; 30 in Second Reader, with ~polling and tau!('~; 36 in Thit·d Reader, with spelling :tnd arithmetic. The atlcnrlance is a Hlight in 'I'Cn~e when compm·ed with the previous year.

The pt·ogt·css made in thc~c olemcutat·y bnmchc.· it~ ltighly t;atiRfactory, and in gencJ·ul those who attend school appear to fully a.ppt'('Cial' the p1·ivilege extended to them.

A~; :;oon us a pltpil h:ts received iustnwtion · sufficient for the ordinary rhttics of life he i dismis~;ed, but is p1·ovidcll Lhe1·caftet· with such book:; as arc rlecesKm·y for him to continue a com·<>c of sclfinstt-ucLion during the evenings while confined in his <·ell. This Jatte1· method ha:; been obset·ved to constitute a pt·omincnt facto1· iu advancing the di cipline of the prison.

I he1·ewitb extend thank~:~ to the ·warden, Dl'. Lavell. for· ve1·y genorouKly encouraging this depat·tmcnt, also to my a si;;tant teachers.

ST. VINCI!JNT DE PAUL PENITENTIARY.

No. l.

REPOR'r OF THE WARDEN, FOR THI~ YEA.R HNDHD 30-rn JUNE, 188 .

S•r. VINCENT DE PAUL PENT'l'ENTIARY, 3rd July, 1 88.

Snt,-I have the honor Lo submit, to you the report. of the management of the St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary for the fiscal year ended the 30th June, 18 8, with. statistical return!:!.

The total number of prisoners received in this Peni Lentiary for the year 18 7- 8 is 109, showing an increase of five over the number received for the preceding year.

On the 30th of June, 1887, there remained in the penitentiary 280 conviets. From that number, in the courde of tho year, ninety-four wore discharged by expiration of sentence, eleven were pardoned by His Excellency the Governor­General, two diet!, one escaped, and five were transferred Lo the Kingston Ponitentinry, making a total of 113 pril:loners discharged. On the 30th of June, 1888, 276 convicts were yet confined in the Penitentia.q.

The district of Montreal has supplied the l!n·gest number, eYenty-thre , tho district of Quebec eight, and the otM'r dil'ltrictl:l of tho Province the remainder, in nearly equal proportions. Bighty-seven were Roman Catholics and twenty-one of several Protestant denominations.

In rcfeJTing to the table showing tho nature of crime~; committed it will be seen that the crimes most commonly recorded arc-larcenies, thirty; stealing from the person, eleven; stealing in dwelling houses, thirty-five; horse ·tealing, eight; feloniously breaking and entering into shop·, eight; all the other crime heing less in number, but some of them of a more aggravnied charactcr-rnpo, one; al'son, one; mam;laughter, one; forgery, three ; indecent as~aul t:;, two.

Of the number received during the year emletl 30th Juno, 1888, fourteen were committed for the second time, two for the third and two for tho fbUt'th time. Those frequent re-commitment~:~ arc certainly to be regretted, inasmuch as they tend to show ibe inefficiency of our penal Rystem in its pre ent state of orcrnnization. Thoro is no doubt that as long nH the authorities will not have provided our Penitentiaries with cell accommodations which will afford to chtB::>ify the convicts accortling to th length of their sentence, tho number of convictions and their previous habits or occupations, the reformation expected will be far from being satisfactory. What good can be expected from the congregatil)n of those hardened Cl'iminals, steeped in the corruption of vice since their boyhood, with convicts who have committed crime for the first time in their lifo, more through weakne~;s than tlepravity. The convict sent from country districts for a crime of a light uature has sut'ely nothiHg to gain by his close connection, during working hours, with the COlTLlpted Cl'iminal, who concoct~:~, during his confinement in the Penitential'y, all tho plans to pursue his criminal career after his liberation. Good results have been obtained e,·en with the present system in some cases; but in the presence of the steady increase of (Time and the number of re-commitments of men who have served oven long terms in our penit011tiaries, I believe dOme more effectual system should be adopted. ::h'Iore 8evore means should be devised to deter the habituai and profe>~sional criminal~:~ from committing crime, and when confined in the Penitentiary men of the most opposite antecedents, habits and character, should not be any longer treated in the Kame manner.

In my report for 1887 I called the attention of the proper authorities Lo the necessitv of providing, in the buildings to be erected according to tho plans of the Public Works Department, for a certain number of cells whe1·c convicts could be kept, if necessary, in a complete state of iE~olation.

38

I de ire, then, to suggest that the wing to b erected be entirely devoted to the construction of large cell:;, whet·e the i olated syl:ltem would be canicd out, and if the uccc~:;~ary plans for this new system were laid out in the course of the winter the work coukl be commenced early next spring.

J am plea erl to be able to report conth1u d good cond net on the part of the prisone1·R; the large portion are well behaved anu evince a disposition tv merit praise. The remi!lsion earned by convict~:; uuring th past year is a Jhir evidence of their condu ·l and general induHtry.

The t:iChool has been pretty well attended to in tho course of tho past year. 'rhe Chaplains devote much of their time and attention to tho Knccoss of tho school.

Tho library is well attended to; but I regret having to say that many of the book. have been t!poiled by convictr; writing or cyphering O\~e1· them. RepreRsive IDOURlli'el:! will have to be taken in Oruer to stop that abuse.

The sanitar·y condition is excellent. No 1eve1·, no epidemic of any sort is to be repoi'tecl. The number in hospital ha. been I'athci' small. It is really fortunate that the sanitary f'tate of th convicts has been HO good, as in the case of epidemical disea~:~cs we woLlltl have boon entirely devoid of any prope1· aecommocl!ttion.

Two convicts died in tho past. year, one from goner·al debility and the other rom endocarditis.

There bas been one escape and one attempt at escape during the year. One convict, who had escaped in 1882, before my assuming office, bas been re-captured.

The works which are canied on under the supet·vision of the Department of Public Works have been pushed on with vigor. I Heize this opportuniLy to tender to the Honorable Minister of Public Works my lJc t thanks for hi prompine s in gmnting our demands.

liour boiler. fo1· heating tho pl'ison have been placed in position in the basement of the central towet·, and last winte1· steam was used to heat tho wings.

A place bas been made in Lhe old or North wing- for a latmdry and drying-room, and before long the machinery will be placed in position.

'lhe boiler-housEI has beeu erected-adjoining the now building-to heat the worbhops and fumish the motive power.

The inRtallation of the workshops in tho now building is now completed and giv s great sat.isfa ·tion.

One constl'llction which has been looked for for a long time is that of a "pigg t·y," which ought to be built with sufficient dimensions, and in a 1:mitable place, in~:~iead of the one now exi ting, which is much too small and too near to tLe prison and unounding habitations, being to both a t~ubject of very legitimate complaint, during the heat of the t;ummer in particular.

The want of new boundar'Y wall is vo1·y much felt. The present wall will require very heavy rcpairt~ in tho cour~:~e of next year, and the wooden fence will have to be re-built. On this subject allow me to suggel:lt again that owing to the magnitude of the work, and the amount of labor and time it will require, it be given out by contract and not pel'formed by convict labot•.

The agricultural works have been attended to in prope1· season, and tho crop promises a atisfactOI'Y yielding.

Tho total amount of tho revenue for th year ended the 30th June, 1888, depo ited in th hands of the Receive1·-General, is $1,621.45, and the ea1·nings of convicts amount, ior the past year, to $42,417.75. These eamings of convict~:~ are repre ented by the work on buildings and other work out<side of those for keeping in repair, which would have to be executed under contt·acts by outsiders, tho cost of which is saved for the Government by this convict labor. If tho eamings of convicts for 1887-88 were auded to the revenue in cash the whole amount earned by convicts would be $44,039.20.

The total amount of the expenditure for the year, 1887-88 is $79,755.03. But in deducting from this umount the 1·evenue (cash) depo ited in the hands of the .Receiver-General in the course ot the year, and the sums paid fo1· items which ought

39

not to be placed to the account of ordinat·y expenditure, uch a the gratuities to officers, attendance of medical oxpel'ls, tranl:lfet· of convicts, &c., the real expendi tm·e for maintenance of convicts would be $71,174.73.

Tho average number of convicts for the year has been 269i; the average cost pet· convict for tboir maintenance pt·oper is $:&64.10. If tbe ea!'llings of convicts, which amottnt to $42,417.75, at·e now taken into account, tho expenditut·e for maintenance will be reduced to $28,756,98, and the yearly coHt of each convict to $106.70.

I dcsiTe now to suggest the advisability and importance of having the earnings of convicts of Penitentiaries accounted for in a more official and snbstantial manner.

Thet·e is no doubt that mucl1 anxiety is felt in the public mind about tho increase of what is termed tho expenditure called forth for tho maintenance of Penitentiaries. The real cost of their maintenance cloes not, however, appeal' before the public in it true light.

Important and co tly buildingR are et·octed evoryyoar by convict labor, under the directiOn and control of the Public Works Department. Why not place the value of that labor to tho eredit of the )?enitentiat·y, as tho thing is doue in individual ca~es? In this way the expenditure would be reduced to its proper figul'e, and the public bettor· satisfied as to the net amount of the cost of Penitentiaries in Canada.

I am pleased to say that tho conduct of tlro officers has been good, as a body, or individually. I find them always ready to assist me in maintaining the discipline of the pl'ison.

Again, I beg to thank you for the kind and onsiderate a~:~siAtance given me 14ince my asouming office.

Trusting that my uggostions will meet with your appl'oval,

I remain, Sir,

Your· obedient l:!ervant,

'l'EL. OUIMET, Warden.

I feel obliged, first, to exprel:ls my thanks for the earnestness and generosity of' the Government about our chapel, and the divine wor::Jhip in general. Let an organil:lt be now appointed and we shall be most satisfied. After a magnificent o1·gan has been ,given us an organist is necessary; otherwise, one day or other our instrument wordd be l:lilent. and, ther fore, of no support for our singers and the r ligions Rervicc. A yearly grant of $100 will l:lCCtn'O its constant ur:;e.

During the religious l:lCl'vico the behavior is good, the attention unremitting nnd tho exterior piety general. Tho cleanlineHs will Roon be perfect, owing to the ondeavon:> made by the convicts not to spit in the chapel. Religious duties arc exactly fulfilled by the moRt pat·t. of our men, and the exeptions show a t·eal ground of fa1th, which, it il-l hoped, will prompt actl:l of t'lincerc devotion iu a more or lcsli J)roxiroate futUI'c.

The patience, cleverne~ and zeal of the 'choolmaster have overcome the obl:ltacle occasioned to tho ca y teaching by the ncces:;itio of general discipline, and the usual examinations have proved a good succcst!.

The Schoolma8ter has willingly assumed fatigues by accepting the direction of he choir· and the difficulties ·on sequent to it.

The conscientious watching of the same Schoolmaster makes easier tho delivery and preservation of the books in oul' library, the Warden kindly affording the help of his attthority in this a>~ in everything else. With good will on the officers' part the bookH will not be lost., will be exactly returned and profit to all. They have only to apply and follow strictly tho regulations of the library.

Would the haplain have the free dealing of the money yearly applied to the pureba ing of books, we would gain on tne number and quality of the books.

Snch is, sir, the pre en L state of the Roman Catholic chapel, school and library. New effortl:i will soon bring t-~till more satit>fhctory results. All the officers de crve our gratitude for their uninterrupted kindness and help.

I have the honor to be, Sir, Your humble and grateful servant,

Hm,-J have the honor io Aulmut. my annnnlreport. with tho n<'('CRRary rrtnrm;. of the Dort1he tcr Penitentiary 1\>r the year ended 30th J nne, 1 8.

On the 30th of June, 1 7, there remained h rc 153 eonvietH; received since, 50 mal•~; and 3 females: total, 2Uli. Di:;charged during the year, -17 male and 2 f•mal :; : total, 4!1; which left r·t•m;tining at miclnight on the HOth June, 1 • 8, 15fi mal<'~ and 1 female: total 157-an increase of 4 OYer the pr·cviout y ar.

Onr expenditure wa $503.70 lef'H than last yen1·, after expending t>ome $3,000 in constt-uction, repairt> &(•. not included in our slim ales. and a daily average i11erea e of ton onvietR.

By aut.hority or the ~{inistcr of Justice L had all the eon ·il'uction ttnd repairs to building~:~, &c., e~;timat d fbi' by tho Publie WorkH Department done by convict labor, and tho material ne(·O~>~>nry purchased and paid for out of our appr·opr·iation tor th • pa.RL year, including th builcling of a eonl-shccl and an addition to the ·warden's house. The following wcr·e the repairs ttud improv mont. made: R paired the I'OOfi ofl)riRon and porche ; t'hingled and coal-taned' tho roof ofthe toward' · houl:le a.nd out-hottscs ; coal-tar·rcd tho r·oof of th reo large barn:;; painted the Warden's house out ide, and painted and pap red it insid tlu·oughout; put in Lhe new hot­water apparatus complete (which wat; aRked for by the late Wardell) , a now rotary tliavc matcher, clothes-pin and hollow-gr·onnd ~awr< in th pail shop, and a new fnmac in t.he dry-hom;o.

Tho roof of the p1·i ·on building, t>ince having been r pait·cd in August la1:1t, is perfectly tight, the tirst time sinee the prison opened, although quite a um had been expended for repairs yearly by the Public Works Dei_J!lrtment..

I bA.ve had a nont fence put around the flower gardens, in front of all· tho officer ' houses, and am lmving all the hou e.; under-pinned with ston . clap-boat·dod and painted, all of which is much needed.

'rho Depa1·tment of Public Work has withdr·awu its 'lerk and assistants from this Penitentiat·y, which itS, in my opinion, a. move in tho right direction. When a Penitontiat·y has competent offie l'S, as Dorchester has, ;tml 150 able-bodied eonvicts, it ought to be exp etcd that all the Ol'dinary work necessary hould be done by them. Why engage trade-in:>trnctors to teach the convict~> trades, or how can they bo taught a trade, as they are supposed to be, if th only work we hf~v • to do is done by outsider"? It is hard cuough to fintl useful employment fo1· the ·onvicts, with 1\ll our work, and to keep them in idlcn ss would be, in many wayR, injurious.

Thet·e are . i~'i.y-seven locks and twenty-six doors yet to be put on cells in the new wing, which can be done by out· own officers.

1'he chapelK are pcing painted and otherwise impt·oved. You will see from the t'epot·l, of the farm that its product~; have been fair. We

will, in a few year!:!, req ui l'e six or l:lOYen horse~; to replace those we have, as they are getting old. Permis~ion wa grautetl me by the Minister of Justice, and I purchased two brood mare ·, and while we have work enough for them to pay for their keep we will be able to raise what hor~;e~; we may need with very little expense.

In the latter part of Atwust and all of September lm;t, the weather being very dry, our water lowered in tho reser,·oirs to abotlt half their capacity; again, in Fohruary the water "'ave out entirely. We found the pipe broken in the prison yard, anti from appearance~:~ th re had been a leak at this point for year , gradually incrcaRing until it was greater than the supply. Thil:l defect, having been remedied, everything elo;e connoctetl with the wat rworks hal:! since continued in perfect work­ing order. I would, howev~·, recommend that a certain spring in the immediate vicinity of the pri. on, anti on our own ground, be utilized, by the laying of a pipe conneclinO' the t;priag with the officers hou. es. Thil:l in a case of emergency, at~ well a~> to meet the anut1ally ineroasing consumption, would be a very desirable additional security. The doing of thit:~ would also conserYe the whole of the Wtttcr supply in the reservoirs for the excluHivo use of the pril:lon.

The comluet awl indu~try of the convicts have been, with few exceptionA, very good.

ln the month~> of Atwust anrl. September a large numb r of the convicts were attacked with diarrhrea.. One, named Timothy Collins, died from the disea~e Since Lh ·n th re haK been very little ~;ickness, and the h alth of the prisoner!:! has been good and every care taken to maintain it.

I am vory glad to be able to report that our expenditure, after paying for all the material u ed in construction, repait·s, &c., is $3,510.89 less than our appropriation.

The lion. Uini>Jter of Justice paid n~; a vi~it in July la~t, on which OCCal:liOn r received from him much information useful to me as head of this inl:ltitution.

It affords me much plea lll'o to be able to report the good feeling existing among our staff and their strict attention to their several duties.

P HOTE, 'l'ANT CHAPLAIN'S REPORT.

DoRCHESTER PENITENTIARY, 3t·d July, 188

Sm,-1 luwe tho honor to submit my report as Protor;tant Chaplaiu of the Dorcho tor Penitentiary for the yea!' ended 30th Juno, 1888, on which day there were 103 conviclt~ under my charge, as aguinst 102 on the corresponding day of the proeeding year. I think thi,; a very ~:~atit:Ji:Owtory inc rea ·e.

I am glad to t:my that there i~::~ no tendency to any incroa e of boy 'OJl\' icts; and, as it is, the younger pl'it,;oner~ are kept well apart from the older convict~;, and arc looked ufier by tho jChoolmaster, the tradc-in;;tructors and keeperH wi lh special care.

Tho conduct of the prisoners in chapel leave::; nothing to be de:sired for reverence of maJtner· and for general attention to all that is said and done. I am again to acknowledge the voluntary assistance of Mr . Forster at the organ, both at th weekly choir practices and al~;o during divine ser·vice.

Tho Chapel i~ being painte l, decor·ated and re-fitteu in a manucr as satisfa ·tory to my brother Chaplain n.J:l to myself, ·onside r·ing that. the Chapel is in usc in this penitentiary by both ~;ides. 'l'he leading idea throughuut the work i13 to make the Chapel the one uJ•ight 13pot whore there is no uuncc:es~:~aq trace of a pri . on, but, contrariwise, where all i~ suggestive of higher ami better things. We cannot hope to att.ain to the excellence of tho exceptionally artistic trontment of the Chapel in St. Vill('ent de P <tul, but tho final ctfe ·t of the whole will be, I think, peculiarly homogeneous and effective. A H the work is only yet in progrCHI:l, I will rm;erve a detailed account for another r· ·port.

The only profe~:~ ·ed Pagan in the in~titution-a Lascar-died during the year. Such a cat-~e is oxcccdin<rly rare, and although the deceased convict made no claim to chri8tianity, I still uecmcu it .J!~'OP •r· to hold such a service as might be fitting and useful.

Since making my last <LnnLml report I have iustituted a voluntary class, which it,; underl.ltood to be for bible reading, but the practical working of which, as T .encountge the a~king of quei'!Liom; and the oxpre~l:lion of opinions, i:s to give me an hrsight into individualeharauter, which, a~> roy experience tells mo, I can get at in no other way. I am very much surprised to tind that about 58 per cent. of those convicts undet· my care attenu this voluntary exercise, with a tendency still slightly upward. I daresay_ my b~othe;· chaplaiut,; ~artwiright, of Kingst?n, and Allan, of St. Vincent de Paul, wlll see Ill tlus percentage a new broom; bL1t, 111 the m an while I have no right to complain if the broom continuel:l to weep clean. '

I find that the general as well a. tho religiOLl~ library to be an in ·rea~;ing power for good. 'rhore il:l a steadily growing demand for historical and educational works and books of general knowledge, although, in my opinion, it will always be desimbl~ t? have the works of Scott mtd Diukens, and a few other· standard novelists, on the hbrary f:!helves.

'l'he school, under Mr. hort's manag ment, continues to be useful in helping prisoners to reform. Convict.t:J who come in ignoraut of all useful learning are continually going out able to read and write, and even to keep Rimple account .

Permit me, in conclusion, to a ld that if the minimum of ft·iction be the maximum of pe1fection in the working of any institution, thon, may the Maritime Penitentiary fairly claim to have attained to some degree of exc lienee.

I have the honor to be, Sir,

J . G. MoYLAN, Esq., Inspector of Penitentiaries.

DoltOIL.Jo:s·.rElt PJ•:Nl1'ENTIALW, 3rd Augu.,r., 18H8.

of presenting my report. for Lbe year nd d 30th

The hygienic condition or Lbir; prir;on continLteS to justify former prcdietions, and is all that could bcoxpcctod, fromitR healthy Rite and proper eonstruction. The general hettlth is hn·gcly promoted by tho scrupulonr; clea.nlinel:ls thnt prevails. The whole inside of the bnild1ng iH whitewashed twice a ycnr, th ·ellii once in thro months, and more frcqnenLiy if ueco ·~;ary, each wing being owcpt, dusted, the windows opened :mel tho rl.itf'orent corridor.~ thoroughly ventilated every morning.

'l'be condition of on1· wa1or stlpply continumo~ goocl, a:nrl we have had an abundance, with one exception, lasL ~;pring, when a pipe wa:; broken on account of its not being properly t~upported at a point where a sower crossed below it. This was promptly repaired by our men ancl since that time ull has been well.

Our officerd, cottages are now tlupr)Jied from the prison waterwoTks, and there being bon:;;;s for thirty-two families they require a large quantity of water, nnd probably conRumo as much as tho prisou. In a time of gruat drought this might become a ource of trouble, as there is alwttys groat difficulty in restricting the supply of so nece0:1sary an article in prin1te familier~, :-;pecially whell they have boon accuF-tomed to an unlimited quantity. In order to meet ibis contingency the Warden informs me he hopeti to be able-Rome time in the nc:ll' future-to lny down a line of pipe from a Hpring . ituatecl neRr the pro:,~ont qnnrry, thai will be c·aptthle of giving all the water the families l'cquirc, a.ncl of the best quality.

On the 5th day of .A.ugu~>t, 1887, some few of our convict:-; complained of being troubled with diarrhma. On the 6th there were three on the ::Jick li t and one :;ent to hospital. On the 13th thoro were fiv sick and 1wo HcnL to hot>pital. 'fhis continued to go on increa. ing in Aevority, so ihat on tho 5th o!'R •ptembcr, one month from date of firot man being o; ized, I bad twcnty-fhre men Rick and thirteen in hoKpital. with this dise:ve. In nu1ny c:ascs the attack wa:; RtHlclon, and in :>ome in~;tanee:; characterized hy crampR in 1 he extremities and very violent pain in Lho bowel A. The nature of the dischn.rgc in thcs' cases, afteT twenty-four n1· thirty- ix hotu·A, generu.lly became dy~;entoric, and freiJ.uently large quanti ties of bloo(l wa:-l passed. Tho desire to stool in some instances was uncontrollable, and it wa:; not unusual for a patient LO be llurged from three to Rix times n.n hour dtning the firR1 twelve or fifteen hours ot the attack, inducing great exbauRtion, and involving a vat:~t amount of attendance on the part of' the orderlies, and nccesRit~~ting the con~;tttni personal superintendance of the surgeon, in order to enforee the observance of tho most perfect cleanlinel:!~ that could be obtained. During this ordeal I was ably ReconJed by theW m·den, and had only to mention anything I roqtlircc.l when it was immediately fnrni:-;hed.

As regards the cause of thit> disease at this time, I have not. becu able to account for it l:!atisfactorily to myself. At the otltset I 1:mspected Romcthing wrong in the dietary, and with the Warden':; con:;ent I ab:stracte(l-eonRecutivcly-sevcml nrt.icles of diet, but after due test l was thoroughly convincou that tho food had nothing to do with the cause. There was quite a number of cases in the neighborhood at tbi:4 time, but I did not hear of any derLt.hs having taken plaee with adult:4, although ReYeral cases in children terminat d fatally.

From September the 5th the disease declined rapidly, Ul:i regards the number attacked, and on September 30th I discharged the last man.

The whole number attacked was ninety-six, twenty-seven of whom were sent to hospital. 'rhe man fi.t·st attacked died of the disease. I puL him in hospital as soon as he complained. The symptoms were extremely bad f1·om the beginning and

66

notwith tanding all that was done for him he died from sheer exhau~:~tion on the :fifteenth day of his admission.

The number of days, work lo~o~t hy these men in ho~:~pital wa 328, ami the average of' each a fraction over twelve days, qt1ite an item, as the majol'ity were our best wo1·kmen. The amount of time lost by the men treated in tho prison, although I cannot !:lay accurately, would, I believe, a\'emge four days eaeh.

The con<lition of the men received thjs year is, I think, bettor than U1:mal, in o fa1· as we have less of that class of partially unaccountable creature · that are too often bent here. The number of lads below sixteen years of age was five. 'I'here were non above sixty, and I am glad to say none wore received that are unable to work.

The number of accidents ha\'O been few-one only wo1·th mentioning-the caRe of a man working in tho mill, who got entangled in a belt and had his left clavicle fra(•tured.

The general health of the pt·ison, exclu ive of the cpi<lomic, ba · been good. There have been few CMIOA of a serious nature, and thoHc have heen treated in the lar"'e cellA of the new wing.

The number of men complaining is about the t:~ame as in former years. The mo~:~t difficult part of a Surgeon'A duty is, first, to determine if there is anything wrong with the convict; secondly, to decide aR to whether it is serious enough to excuse him from Jab0r. 'rhey will complain of tho most trivial thing, in order to, if posHible, get cleat· <Jf work, and como day after day to the snrgel'y fo1· medicine, until, in some in Lance , they have to be Teported when a eure is speedily effected. A la•·ge number who come to the t:~urgery COIDJJlaining, merely require a dose of purgative medicine, a little liniment, o1·, perhaps, some cough mixture; and more than halfthe medicine eonsumed il:l given to convicts not excused from labor, so that the statistics only furnish a partial statement of the amount of work done in this department. These ca eR arc diffi('nlt to correr.tly classify, an1l will be found under the heading of" Unclassified."

We have had two deaths during Lhe year, one from cliarrhrna and the other, a life prisoner, from caneor of th mouth. This man had been in this pri~o~on sinc·e it opened. Tie was a Lascar, committed to Halifax pri on in July 1851, aHd had been in confinement for thirty-six years and five months, probably the longest time any prison r ha lived in any of our Dominion Ponitential'ies. lie was a native of Sumatra, ttnd never learned to speak our language. I had him in hospital, a11d when 11' became very ill his only desire was to go back to the prison where our steward, Mr. Ross, was the only human being he seemed to know or care about. The W Mel n allowed me to have him removed, when he became perfeclly satisfied and died in a few days, apparently without much suffering.

The number of men entto hospital was 32, and number of day~:~ in hospital 554. The number of 0:1se~o~ treated in tho c lis was 490. Total number of application!!

for advi<'<' and treatment was 3,075.

SCIIOOLM.A., TER'S REPORT.

DORCHESTER PENITENTIARY, 2nd July, 1888.

Srn,-I have the honor to t> ubmit my annual repol't of tho school in this Peni­tentiar·y for the year ended 30th June, 1888.

The conduct of the men and tho ]r·ogress made by them during tho present year are equal to what I have reported .in previou~> yeal'H. The rmmber of · chohtr·t~ on roll is 44, with an average daily attendance of 40 3z5. Last year the numuer on roll was 51, with an average daily attendance of 38 4z7, which Hhows an average daily increa c for this year of.2 lz35. This more unifot·m attendanre ha given better re ults as to the scholar and decidedly mor·e ~:~atisfaction as to the teachet· .

.A.t the r quest of the Warden, in .A.prillast it was rleemed advitmble to ha\"'e a twpm·ate school bout· for the !Joys-seven in number. This request wa. complied with at once, and I find it much better. It gives me more control over· them, ami it gives them a bette!' eha.nce of aitending to theil' le sons.

I have to thank ehe War·don aud chaplainK for· their· uniform kindness and co­operation in connection with the school.

The gener·al libr·ru·y hat> been thoroughly examined by the Warden and Chap­lains, and all books unfit for· J'e-binding have been condemned, tho continual wear Hnd tear of seven years having rendered a large numbor unfit for fm·ther use, which reduces the total fit for circulation to 380. Some new books have been ordered by the Warden, an account of which will appear in next report.

J. G. MoYLAN, Esq.,

I have the honor to be, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

THOMAS SliORT,

Inspector of PenitentiaTies. Sclwolmaster.

MANlTOBA PENITENTIARY.

lWPORT OF 'fJTI•J W .A JWgN HOR TJIJ~ YI~AH. JjjNDED 30TII JURI!}, 1888.

STONY MoUNTAIN, art! December, 1888.

f:lm,-1 have the honor to !;ubmit her·ewith my annual rep01~ of the management of thi institution fo1· the fh;cal year nded June 30th, 188 ; and, in doing tlO, I feel glad t.o :>tate that tho clmpols, laundry and hospital, all of which I 1·ofenetl io in my report of la,;t year :t~ being "unfinished" at·e now thoroughly completed anu occupied. The possesHion of these build ings meet~; a long fe lt want.

The health of the pri:-;on luu.;, on the whole, been o·ood. In refer·ence to the pur·­cha~o of dl'Ugs, &c., foJ• hoRpital, as we ll as in every otYtet· dcpartm nt, every pt·cctw­tion hm; been taken to eeonomize. The gvoss amonnt expended for drug:-; wa~, 1or th' year 1887-88, $485.5!). Of thiK amonnt, their remained as stock on band, on 30th Juno, $:~7 . 85, leavin!!· the net expenditure $44'7.74 for the year.

'fhis apparcn t ly largo expondit.ul'c is rauHed, to a VOl')' great extent, by our having to re-ful'l1i~h the uow ho>~pital, in 1he matter of equipment, convalescent roomt>, kitdtcn f'urniturc, tliopent>ing and officers' room::;. When this unlookcd-for CX}Jen·e is eonside:·ed, the act unl co"t ot ho::-~pital i;; compamtivcly Rmall.

The grn•s cxpenditlll't' fi>r beali1w pur·po!'es fo1· the year wm:1 $11,584.37; s-tock of woocl and coal on hnnd :30th Jun ', $4,706.30, bringing the net co t nuder this head to $6,881.07, which amount <IOn>JideJ·ing the t:~ovOl·ity of tho ·limate, is not by any moan~> cxces!:li~c.

The eonduct and ti.i'-lcipline in int>titutions of this kiml, with the vat>t amount of p1·ope•·ty uml intere:;t:; coHnectcd thcr·owith at ,;take, mut~t be apparent to ove•·y in telligunt. per"Ol1. Withou ( di:;ciplinc the value or 1 ~1bnr· tl preciates, property it! dcsLro,ycd uml hope fot· the refbt·m:Ltion of the convict becomes impos iblc. ilow to maintain such c..li~;ciplin at ils pre,.,ent high stamhwd, with little l)unishmentand the kind to be u~Sed h:Ls long boon a subject to myself of the mo~t car·nest considc:ation.

TIH' LL><ual method iH, that atl !:lOOn as a convict entcr·s the prison he is at once b1·ough t lwfo1·e me, when tho rules and regrdations govel'ning prisoners m·o read anti c~wefully oxplainctl to him. A eopy of the H<lme is kept constantly hanging in his C'oll, !;O lha,t he may kno"· at all times what they arc, anu if he dil:lobey, it iH not through ignorance of what ifi rcqui1·ed of him.

In order to gain the c·.onficlence of the convict you must first prove to him that hiH cu:.;toclians are not his enemie~:~; that good conduct will merit and receive its own jnBt J·ewartl; that tho lttw i~:~ made fot· hit! protection as well as punishment ; anti, finally, if it:.; requi1·emelltH iLI'e fulfilled, l:lociety will f:ltill honor a.ncl respect him.

In order to attain to this high ideal. of pl'i~on tlif:lcipliJw I would suggest-a~, perhapr:~, being worth.Y of note-that one of the mot>t profH!1.ble ways in order to bring tbil:l dc,;i rc about would be by giving occasiomtllectures to r;u balter11 officer·.,, clearly poieting out to them th it· t·espcctivo duties.

fn addition tolthe above, I myself am fully of opinion that when any vacancy on the staff occut·H prefer nco i:lhOul<l at all timet! be given tb those who have had some knowledge of discipline as exercised among-ot· exacted fr·om men belonging to­regnlal' so ldi cl'H or local volun teers, rather than by t11king mon who are entirely strangeL't> to such. Every individual officer, whatever may be his position, mm~t at all times Lc ready to obey as well as see that the discipline of the prison be fully carTied out..

I further deem it an essential in prison discipline that there should be Htated timm;-say once in evot·y two months, or oftene1·, if thought desit·able-when the

84

staff, or those pa1·ticularly charged with tho over ight of prisoneH>, should be drilled and insti'Uctod in tho propc1· u1:1e of fi1·earms. Were this tho ca e generally, any attempt which might ue made by a pl'it-ioner to oirect hi:; esc<tpe, or ca.ul::le othet·s to revolt , would speedily and ett' •cLtmlly, in most cases, ho prevent d.

All officerH ami gnards are required to speak to and tt·eat convicts kindly, but tirmly, and in no ca e can any puni2hment be inflicted upon a convict unless fi!·st oruerod by my.;elJ; and thiH only aftet· a thol'Ougb inve Ligation of the caut~e and natme of the complnint , the convict ftnd hi accn et· being bronght face to f~t ·e, in o1·der that no injm•tice may be done.

Puni h me11ts a:-e a! way>; intended to be commensmate w1th the offence committed, and no harah ot· cruel mode is allowed. ·with a few (IXCeptions, thi~; mode has been !4eadily adbet·etl to. There are, no doubt, orne brutes in human shape to whom you can appeal in no ot!Jt1J' way than by the uAe of the lash, howeve1· much thif:i mcthou i:; to be deprecated. But puni!:!hments of this kind <We, J rejoice to 1-1ay, ~;eldom re~o1·teu to, and are never Ulled except when all other mocle~; fnil to bring the t·efrac­LOJT to obedience, and even when admini~tered a1·e ncvet· intended, in a manner, to brutalize him. Of coUJ·~:~e, all bumltll agencies and judf?mentt; a1· imperfect, but it il:l safe to Hay, thaL if be tJhowt~ a willing and t·eauy obud10nce to all Lhe ntlo,; hu mm avoid all punishment. If not, iL i1:1 certain to follow; buL under thil::l mode no g1·cat injul::ltice can be Llone him.

Individualization i~ an e:>sential ])J'inciplo of p1·ison discipline. To iu:;u;·e tucir highet~t improvement l)l·isoner~; must, to n certain extent, be treated pel'HOn:tlly, anu no officer, perhaps, is letter fitteu or can do such duties mo1·e ::;ucce~tlf'u.lly than Lhe Chaplain~;. Many a lutt·tlcned ropi'Obate, th1·ough tbei1· effort~;, ha~,; become an orderly, well-behaved man and profel:lseu christian giving indication thai he will hrrcafter lead an honcl:lt, up1·ight life.

ln conclusion, I beg to ~;tate what I have l:iO often urged before-the urgent n •cu..;;,;ity of providing a p1·ison wall. Thi~; could be accomplished at a vet·y small outlay, as we have all tho necessa1·y materials at hand fOI' its ronst.Tuc-tion pi'Ovided by nature.

And, further: that which, to my mind, form~; one of the most neceHHary induce­m nts lo the zealom; rlischarge by the prit~on staff of 'anadn, of a far from ploaHant character, ha , so H11·, been overlooked by the Govel'llment. I feel as~>ut·eu t.bat a Ry'ltem of pen::;ioning should and OLlght to lJe p1·oviued fb!' long and faithful Rervice ou the part of the Rtatf; and nl~;o, in event ofinjn1-y ~;orne J·ecognized system of1·elief should be adopteu other th11.n that at present in vogue.

The rate of pay now received by prison officiaTs represent!:! a mere existence, and it is impo ible to p1·ovide for~;ickne:; and infi1·mity. Thit> i~; n matter whiclJ, as it appears to me, should receive the earliest attention of the anthnl'ities, and a proviRion be made fot· the same in the preparation of future Bstimates, a step which, without doubt, would 1·eceive the unaminous support of the Wardens of the various Penitentiaries.

I beg to enclose the wmal statiAticalreturnt~.

I have the honor to be, Si1·,

Your obedient se1·vant,

J. G. MoYLAN, B~;q.,

In pectol' of Penitentiaries.

The Sunday and occat:donal week day .service:; have boon regulat'ly held, aud the conduct of tho prisoners attending has been most exemplary.

1·emoved to the new chapel. The chapel wa~ opened by his Lot·dship tho Bishop of RupertA Land fO!' divine worship on Septuagesima Sunday-6th February. At this service His Lordship held a Confirmation, when si"' candidates presented them~Selvos for the reception of thir; t;Olemn rite. The set·vice:-; throughout wet·o of the most imp1·ossive and solemn character. His Lord.,hip the Bit:;hop expret~1:1ed himself as being "highly delighted with the conduct of tho men and the general discipline that he1·e prevailH." Tho change from the old to the new chapel i , both to the men and to myr;elf, a matter of great rejoicing; ancl I desire here to place on 1·ecord my sincere thanks both to the Department and to Otll' Wa1·den for their liberality in thnl:l pro­viding us with such a beautiful edifice, so well cttlculated to me t Olll' need in evet·y respect.

The library still continue to be well patronized by men and officers alike. It was further augmented dut·ing the year by a liberal assortment of bookti from the Stationet'y Department.

The school is continuing to make l:lteady proges~S, unde1· tho efficient and painl:l­taking 1:mpervisio11 of M1·. Bourke.

I rejoice to loa1·n that steps are about to be taken to make the Chaplains resident.

It is oniy in this way that any Lnngible good l'O::mlt:; can accrue from their efforts in this direction.

I desire most heartily to offer my warmest thanks to the W<trden and officet'l:l for theiJ· continued kindnos!:l to me, and for their manifest interest in my wot-k.

CATIIOLI CHAPLAIN'S RBPORT.

STONY MouNTAIN, 3rd July 1888.

StR,-I have the honor to :;end you my annnalroport for the fiscal yem· ended 30th .J nne I aRt.

In tho first place, I wish to ex:pross the satisf[Lction that I have experienced in the discharge of the clutie>S of my po>~ition as regards the pri!:loners. Their conduct is generally good; the piety of mo>~t of them is constant, antl the ro"'uhwity in the dil3-ohal'go of their religious duties leave::! litllo to be dol'lired.

The most remarkable event of thlli year has boon tho opening of tho chapel fot· divine worship. It Wl1l.l a matte1· of u1·gent nccc~:~Hity, anJ tho happinesH we have experienced Jo~ince wo ocenpied it has been the grca10I' because we hav so ut'gontly asked it, all!l that we have waited for it so long.

I wish it to be well undct·l:ltood that I do not iatond to pa~s any l'emarkH on any person o1· any circuml:ltancef!. l only desire to express that what I Ho ul'gontly wi~>hcd in my report of lm>t year is now so happily roalir,ecl. To-day we can pol'form out· 1·eligions ce1·emorues in an u.pp1·opriato manner. We lHwo now what may be rogal'ded a absolutely requit:~ite for the clivine fLtnctionH, :wd othet· thingl:l regard­ing divine worship.

Thet·e are, however, thing~ not abRolutely necossal'y, but of £SI'eat u efuloe~:u; in the practice of;;pecial devotion::;, and which we have not yet. I p1·oposo, during your vit:;it in the.fall, to call your attention to the utility of their being procu1·ed, namely, stations of the CI'Os::;, and other objectti of tho sam kind.

I wi~:~h to thank the Depa1·tment for all they have so ftu· "'t·anted, as ah;o the pel'­sonl:l in authority i11 thi::; in. titution who have a"J..,istod me in obtaining them. It may be t:~aid that this iH not much, but the gl'eat satisfaction will be, t,hat tboy have not 011iy contributed greatly to ameliorate tho material condition but also the moral position of those poot· unfo1-tuntttes, who, in moments of et'l'OI', have po1·mittcd t.hem­selve~o~ to commit acts which they now regret and cleplm·e.

If l may be allowed to oxpre$S any witlh, l would l:lay that I entertain the hope that tho great event of tbi!:l yeat· will b~ t.he release of tho greatet· pa1·t of the IndianA who arc in the institution at this moment.. This act of clemency would favOI'ably im pre~s these cle titute inhabitants of the p1·ai1·ietl, and would produce a happy result amidst the triue!:l of the west. I wish to Ap ak mo1·e specially of those who were imprisoned a!:l a consequence of the t1·oubles of the orth-West, and of those who m·e in gaol for having killed the Wind.igos.

In the hope thttt thit:~ desil'e may be realized in the cout·se of thi8 year,

I remain, Sir, Yours truly,

G. CI..JourrJER, Pl'iest,

SURGEON'S REPORT.

STONY MouN'fAIN, 3rd July, 1888.

SIR,-I beg to submit my annual report for the year omled 30th June, 18 8. As you are already aware, I came to rel:lide here pennauontly in the early pa1·t

of the year. By this arrangement I feel that I have been enabled to do my work with greater benefit to my patient~:~ and with more 15atisfilc1ion to my elf than when I only made one or two visits per week.

A~:~ the returns hereto appended show, I have had a fttidy large numl1er of admissions to hoi:!pital during the year. I am pleased to l.Je able to state that in nll case~:~ the result of treatment waH satif:!factory.

There was one death, al:l return shows-that of an Indian-from l:!Crofuln. 'l'hiK case remained over in hospital from last year; everything was done for his relief.

On several occasions my limited hospital accommouation was ovo1·-taxed. ThiH condition I did hope would have been l.'elieved befot·e thi::; by the occupation of the now hospital building. I regret to say that in this I have boon dil:lappointerl and that. there is much delay in its completion.

The drainage of the prison is good, at> is also the ventilation. The wat r supply to the prison is t>atit>~actOI"y, but the t>npply from well at \Varden':-1 house was r;o uad that I had to condemn it. I recommended that it should be filtm·od, and to thiH end I believe a filter is being purchased. This will certainly improve it.

The delay in tho completion of the uew laund1-y building reudert:~ it nece~sa1·y lo still retain the laundry in the basement of the prison. 'rhi continues to be a con­Rtant source of care and anxiety both to the Wa1·den and. myf:!elt'. [do hope it. will soon be removed.

I understand that it is contemplated to remove to thit:! pi nee, from Lhe asylum at Selki1·k, all insane patients char~cable to the Federal Govel'llment. If ~meh chango does take place the accommodatiOn which can be given them in the upper flat of the new hospital will be most ample, and with the equipment awl fumishings, as pro­posed, every facility will be afforded for their comfort and succeKsful treatment.

The health of the officers has been good, and we have been fortunate in not hlnr­ing any epidemic disease or accidents of a grave character.

The total number of my prescriptions fbt· patients ontside of hospital for tho year was 434.

I append the usual returns; also the following statement of expen<.litme :-Amount expended for medicines and d1·ugs.................. $485 59 Amount on hand 30th June, as per inventory............... 3'7 85

'fotal.. .. ... ... .. $44'7 '74

This shows an expenditure of $4.61 per caput for tho year. I have to thank the Warden for his continued interest in tho hospital, and n.I~:~o all

other officers, who, by their kindness and courtesy help to make my wm·k here a pleasure to me. ·

I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,

J. G. MoYLAN, Esq., Inspector of Pe11itentiaries.

-Supplemental Report.

Since writing the above both the hospital and laundry have been completed, and at·e excellent buildings, which form valuable and substantial additions to the institution.

As Surgeon, I must say that the new hospital reflect!:! the highest amount of credit upon the Ilonorable t.he Minister of Public Works, and on the Department over which he p•·esides, and I desire to take thi opportunity of offering to him my congt·atulations, as well as my most earnest thanks, for its very excellent constl'llci.ion ample equipment.

BRITISH COLUMBIA PENITENTIARY.

RI1JPORT OF Tim WARDEN FOR THE YEAR ENDBD 30TH JUNE, 1 7.

BRITISH CoLmmrA PENITENTIARY, 3rd July, 1

'm,-I have tho honor to submit my annual report on the management of this ponitontia1·y, with the retums fo1· the fiscal year cnde(l 30th June, lR .

On the 30th June, 1 7, there J'Om<tined here 9 convict:; received sin ·e, 24; totnl, 113. DiHcharo·ed <.ILLring the year by expiration of sentence, 30; by p<tt·don, 6; by <.loath, 3. in~ane eonvicts sent to King ton Penitontia1·y, 4; on bail, 1; HenLe nee re<.ILLced, 1-which left romnining on 30th Juno, 1 8 , 68 ~onvicts.

With ~;incet·e reg1·et 1 mention the death of C. N. Trew, M.D., urgeon of this Penitentiary, which oecul'!'od on tho 28th of Ootobet· last, afte1· a lingering illno>~s. lie attended to hir; duties at tho pri:>on until he could no longer leave his hour;o. He waR connected with tho in~titntion since it wa, fb·st ostabli>~hoJ., and is sorr·owfLLlly missed by tho officcn; anu co11victs, to whom he was alwa.ys kind and attentive.

The C:111adian Pacific R1tilway have obtn.inecl posseR~ion of the whole watet· froutage of the Penitentiary 1' servo, with the xception of the wharf where out· coni, &c., is landed. I truRt that you will recommend tho GoYornment to ptu·chase the land Lo the not·th of l!,e pt·ison, known as Mr. Coultbaru'H :mu Ron. P. O'R illy's pr·oporty. A portion of this crround, fully four acre , is covet·od with thick bush and heavy timber. Thi~ will be a 'Out'ce ofdanget· to tho penitent wry in oft'oring a means of o.·cape to tho convicts until it is cleared. I am glad to in{ot·m you that the Public Works DoparLmeiiL lmve commenceu to buill a hom~o for tho Ringle guards. I hope they will Roon follow with at l ast throt: more cottages fot· tho marri d guards. .A. hou~o fot· tho Accounbwt l'hould bo pt·oyidod. At pr ::;onL h • oocupio' one of tho holli~Ci:! built for tho mat'l'iou guard . Nothing has b on <.Ion y t towardt:> building t~ house for the Warden.

Th stable, cow anJ. curt-house, which i>~ so very much nocdotl , ha· not yet been commencotl. The workt:>h pl-l require geuet·al repail'ing, in oruer to make them habitable fol' the COIIvicti'l, who mut>t work there during tho winter months. Tho roof of the main huil<ling, whi ·h I h:1.Ye so often complainotl ahout, ha. r coived no attention from the Public ·work" Department. Tho basemout floor i in a rotten state, and unwholesome enough to cnnr;e sicknesR. The tloot·ing should be taken up and J'eplnced by a concJ·ote floor. Tho whole outside of the building requires pointing. The wharf i::; in a dilapidated condition. This should be e.ttentled to immediately.

A mOI'O plontif'LLI ~npply of watot· must be brought to tho Gll!u·d ' hottso~, and proper waL r-closetR built, with dl'ain loading into tho river. The d1·y-earth Ayst m in uso thoro 110w il' not suitable in thi.' climate. Ea ·h of tho· soYeJ·al wants I have t·epeatodly onlled attention to. J assut·e you they are not trivit~l.

A number of Rolitat-y cells should be com;tt'uctod immediately. Thi>~ can be dono easily uy altering some of the cells in the baRement.

'Ihe1·e i~ no hospital accommodation het·e. This i , I believe, tho only Penitentia1·y in tho Dominion without a place set apa1·t for th sick. No mn.tter wh:1t pain or ~uft'oring a man is afilicted with, there is no place for him but th common cell.

I beg to call your attention to the fact that a company iR now formed here for the pmposo of supplying New Westminster with wo t l' from the CoquitlaiJ Lake. [t willl e necesl:lary to lay tho pipe for this tht·ough ot· Yery near the Penitentiary re::;ot·vo. When ihiii i. being done, I hope you will recommend that the Penitentiary and the cottages bo supplied. I am informed that the water can be forced over any of our buildings.

appointed, although the bake1·y i>~long since completed. A Carpenter Trade Instructor silOnld be put on the staff, and if appointed will be a great saving to the Goyernment.

In the laundry lately completed a boiler, engine and mangle are provided. They are of no use in the laundry at present. The main building and workshops can be heated by steam; if another boiler is put in the laundry, theu the .,;ervices of an engineer will be required. I hope to see this done before long, as the stoves in use are not atisfactory ; neithet· do I consider them safe.

In am glad to t•eport that the insane convicts were removed to Kingl":lton. The conduct of the convicts in general has been good. Of course, there are a few exceptions. The Inspector'.,; visit, I find, has proved of great benefit and encouragement to all. I sincerely hope the Government will no longer deprive this penitentiary of regular >isits from him.

A · usual I am able to report favorably of the officers. Every duty has been faith­fully performed. The S<:hool has been regularly and carefully attended to by M1·. Keary. Again I beg to remind you that the duties performed by him as school­masteJ·, are deserving of more substantial notice than a few WOJ'dt> in the regular annual report. Indians and Chinamen, who are under his tuition, gain valuable know­ledge duri11g their confinement here.

The Deputy Warden works as bard in the interest of the institution as though all his labor were given for his own personal benefit, every detail about the work, in general, comes under his care.

A year or two since one keeper was appointed. This officer performs the dntie::l carefully and with great satisfaction. Still, he i only receiving tho pay of a guard, though his duties are far more re ponsible, therefore, I am su1·e you willreeommend an increase in hi salal'y.

Dr. De Wolf Smith, acting surgeon during the last nine months, hal:! been atten­tive to all duties coming under his care.

The Chaplains have attended regulaTly. On the 19th August last we had the pleasure of a visit from the lion. the

Ministe1· of Justice. He went over the building's and ground, and kindly intel'viewed all the convicts who requested to see him.

Before clo. ing this report, I beg to offer my sincere thanks for the kind and valuable assistance received from you on many trying occasions throughout the last year.

I have the honor to be, Sir,

J. G. MoYLAN, Esq., Inspector of Penitentiariee.

Your most obedient servant,

ARTHUR H. McBRIDE,

lt is gratifying to note the decrease in the number of convicts this y..:ar. Their conduct cltu·ing divine sel'vice has been satisfactory, and it is hoped that the good seed sown will in due time bring forth ft'uit. I regret that we must always omit in our t;ervices an important part of divine worship-singing praise to God-owing to the proximity of the chapels, and our meeting at the same hour.

J am thaukful fot· aclditioilS to our library. Tho books are eagel'ly sought after by many of the convicts, and I trust ohe Govemmentwill continue to give us a liberal i:iUpply.

I have to report very favorably of the school work under the cat'e of Mr. Keary, the schoolmaster, who is painstaking and successful. I think, however, there ought to be ditfet'ent rules for the Chinese antl J ndians, in regard to the school, from those applicable to most others. The school is usually regarded as a reward for good con­ductr--a special privilege to be enjoyed by tho well-behaved. This may be quite conect in ordinary ca.<>es; buL you will permit me to say that in my opinion we are not doing our duty to the Chinese and Indiam-especially the Chinese-when we keep them in otu· penitentiat·ies fot· years, and turn them out as ignot·ant of our language as when they came in. Without some knowledge of that language we can <.lo them no O'Ood, and we consign them to a most dreary captivity. Vet·y muny of them hav·e obtained a fair knowledge of our language, Lut why should 110t all get the oppot·tunity. If it were the rule that they must all attend school ft·om the very com­mencement of their imprisonment it would be greatly to their advantage; and, with very few exceptions indeed, they would gladly avail themselve of the privilege. There would be no more difficulty in keeping them in order in the school than in the church.

AC'riNG SURGEON'S ImPORT.

BRITISII CoLUMBIA PENI1'ENTCARY, 2nd July, 1888.

Sm,-In t;ubmitting the annual report of the health of this imJtitution for the year ended 30th June, 1888, I ha,·c to refel' with regret to the death of the late Surgeon, Dr. C. N. Trow, which occurred on the 28th of October last, and in whom the Department lost tl faitbfhl officer, the officers a trnc fi'iend and the convicts an attentive ami skilled snrgeon.

Having attended to hi dntics during Dr. •rrew's illnesH, 1 was, upon his death , requested by the Warden to continuo to act as Stugeon, and am happy to be able to state that during the year just ended the average health of the convicts hal'! been exceedingly good. A large nnmber have been treated as out-patients, the numb r of prescriptions given to men seen in the surgery being 345. The number of convicts treated as ho~Spital patients is lel:ls than last year, as may be seen by the accom­panying table.

During the pal:li year fonr insane prisouers were removed to the insane ward of Kingston Penitentiary and three who were pardoned were removed to the Provincial Insane Asylum here. One, a Chinaman, who attempted to out his thrmLt, remains fTom last year, and another Chinaman has shown signs of weak intellect.

Three convicts uied during the year-a Chinaman, who committed sui ide by hanging; tL white man, who died from a complication ofacntc rheumatism; and an Indian, who died of phthisis, nbc prevalence of scrofula and incipient phthisis among the Indian p1·itJoncrl:l renders it difficult to know just how to deal with them, as close confinement for any length of time seems to act most injuriously upon them.

A much needed improvement is now being effected in the penitentiary, viz., the snbstitution of g~LS for coal oil as a means of lighting the bttilding. Another improvement would be the introduction of a hot water or Hteam heating apparatus. The present system of hoatillg, viz. , by two large coal stoves, is unsatisfhctory, as it docl:l not secure tln equable temperature throughout the wing. Another urgent want is a hospital wing, fully equipped with the ueces~;ary apparatn for treating such disea es and accidents as occasionally oecur. Under the prel:!ent arrangements it is a matter of gt·eat Jifficulty to treat any medical case properly, while the proper treatment of surgical cases is almost impossible in the cell ·.

The sanitm·y condition of the manied officers' quarten; is extremely bad, and it is imperati,re that flOmething should be done at once to remedy the existing state of afl'airs. A snitablc drain should be constructed from the bon es to the river, and water-closets substituted for tho dry earth pits which are now in use.

l have much pleasure in testifying to the conuition of cleanliness in which the whole building il:l kept, and to the willingness and energy displayed by :M:r. :M:clnnes, who, in addition to his duties as Steward, act,s as Hospital Steward to my entire satisfaction.

I have also io thank the Wa1·den, DeputyWarden and other officers for many kindnesses and mncb assistance.

I have the honor to be, Sir,

J. G. :M:oYLAN, Esq.,

Sra,-I have the honor to submit my annual report of the school of this in titu­tion for the Ul:iCftl year eu<.led 30th June, 1888.

Average daily attendance, 38; total number of scholars, 40. The nationalities of the convicttl attending ~chool are: whites, 6; half-bl'ecds, 2; Indians, 14; Chinese, 16. Those who ha<l been attending school, and have been diseharg d by expiration of r;entencc dlll'inO' the year, could rearl. an<.l write well, Indians and Chinese especially, t>Ome of whom, when admitted, could not speak English.

The Warden and Chaplains hav taken a kindly interest in the school, an<.l ~~re at all timer; ready to do anything for its advantage.

It is to be regretted that we could not have a mo1·e convenient place for holding school. .A.s it if:! now, we at'e compellc<.l to take one si<.le of the wing for school puqlo es, which is mo t awkward and inconvenient.
