THE SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS OF THE PHILADELPHIA COUNTY PRISON. MADE TO THE LEGISLATURE FEBRUARY, 1854. PHILADELPHIA: CRISSY & MARKLEY', PRINTERS, GOLDSMITHS HALL, LIBRARY ST. 1854. REPORT. TO THE HON. CHARLES A. BLACK, Secretary of the Commonwealth. Sir :-The Seventh Annual Report of the Board of In- spectors of the Philadelphia County Prison, is herewith submitted, as required by an Act of the General Assembly, passed the 27th day of February, 1847. This Report em- braces a period of twelve months, ending on the 31st day of December, 1853. In preparing the Annual Report of the Philadelphia County Prison, a variety of topics present themselves for discussion. To those who are accustomed to examine and consider Prison Reports, the details are instructive and in- teresting. This Prison was opened for the reception of prisoners, in the fall of 1835, and is administered upon the principle of separate confinement. The separate system is now applied to all new County Prisons, as well as to the Penitentiaries of the Commonwealth. The Pennsylvania or separate system, has been fully tested by experience, and while it may have failed in reclaiming old offenders, 4 and in restoring the innately vicious to the paths of recti- tude and honor, there can be no doubt that it has shielded, in an eminent degree, the young and thoughtless from the evil influences of association with old convicts. This class of delinquents may frequently be saved from a career of in- famy, by timely warning and gentle treatment; and no- thing contributes more powerfully to this than a suitable place for solitary reflection. The bare walls of a cell- the dark and gloomy hour of midnight, as the occupant watches and listens to catch the first sound of a distant clock, has a magical influence in impressing upon the offender his sad condition. Loneliness is not always the worst calamity which can befall a person in Prison. If he has mental re- sources, he will find comfort in reviewing his past life, and in forming good resolutions for his future conduct. Under such circumstances, the mind has ample opportunity to con- trast a life of honor and truthfulness with one of dishonor and shame. It seldom happens, that first offenders, have determined to pursue a life of crime. And if their after lives could be traced with certainty, it would be found that resolutions formed while alone-when the sensibilities •were aroused to the highest pitch, when hope itself had almost fled their cells-had done more to sustain them in doing right than anything else. We do not confound soli- tary confinement as practised in Pennsylvania, with any cruel system, which deprives, for a long period, the convict of all books and labor, and leaves him a wretch to his own thoughts and imagination. To think unceasingly is dread- ful ; and to be alone and thus endure the upbraidings of conscience is almost insupportable. It is proper however, to remark in this connection, that many persons convicted for the first time, are old offenders 5 in point of fact. In such cases, their crimes or offences are not discovered at the time committed, and may not be for years afterwards. These depredations are generally of a trivial character, until emboldened by success, they become reckless, when they enter upon a more decided theatre of action. The initiatory step in crime once taken, the strong probability is, that sooner or later, the individual will be- come a confirmed criminal. The reformatory influence of our Prison system is better calculated to produce a change of conduct than any other; but the records of this Prison establish the fact, that real reformation in prisoners is of rare occurrence. We do not say, no prisoner has ever been reformed. For certain offences-assault and battery of every grade, or for larceny, or even forgery, under favor- able circumstances, the offender may change his mode of life after having served out a sentence. If he has a home to go to, and friends to receive him and provide for his ne- cessities, there is some hope of reformation. But if he leaves the Prison penniless, or is supplied by the Inspec- tors to the extent allowed by law, and thus thrown upon himself, it requires no prophet to tell that in the vast ma- jority of cases, he returns to the world only intent on re- venge, and enters fully on a life of crime. But few respect- able persons ever think of giving employment to a convict -of introducing such a personage into their business estab- lishments or houses. Who, then, associate with convicts ? Not the respectable and pure minded, for to them the very name of convict is horrible, because it represents an odious individual. This is the penalty all must pay who violate the law and disregard moral obligations. Convicts, there- fore, necessarily associate together, and form a separate community where schemes of plunder and of blood are 6 concocted. The portals of this community once entered, the imagination of the unfortunate victim becomes excited, and a new world opens to view, which before was hidden from his sight. The novelty of his position-the antici- pated warfare upon the community, with its stirring scenes and incidents, arouse every evil passion and stimulate every bad desire. The heart is thus overcome, the soul subdued, and the Man is lost to every sense of duty to God and man. He is a criminal! It will scarcely be contended, that old offenders are ever wholly reclaimed. This is owing in part to the unfavor- able circumstances which surround them at the time of their liberation, and partly to the effect produced on their manhood by becoming convicts. The self respect which an honest man feels; the consciousness of a life of purity? and the advantages which such a life presents, are induce- ments which seldom obtrude themselves upon old convicts. Indeed, these virtues are regarded as impediments in their way. Elements of essentially different quality will never assimilate together; and so it is with purity and crime. The barrier once broken down by the commission of a felony, and there is but little hope for the offender. At some future day separate confinement without labor may be substituted for the present system of confinement with labor. If this change should take place, the terms of sentence would necessarily be reduced in duration, and, per- haps, a tribunal established to determine the length of each sentence, no time being specified by the Court. That such a system, with long sentences, will be severe upon the human organization is true. But care will be taken so to graduate each sentence as to adapt it to the physical and mental con- stitution of each convict. It sometimes becomes necessary 7 to try practical experiments in order to decide upon the merits of different modes of punishments. Thus the friends of the present system in Pennsylvania were obliged to struggle for years against error and prejudice, in exposing the evils of the congregate system. The following table contains a statement of the number of sentences which prisoners have served out in the Phila- delphia County Prison, which is corroborative of the views herein expressed-in regard to the reformation of criminals: Table, showing the number of Prisoners who have served out from one to four sentences in the Philadelphia County Prison, from the ls£ January, 1836, to the 31-stf December, 1853.

This table does not exhibit their final career, for many under each head may become convicts in other prisons, of which we have no record. The whole number committed to the prison during the past year is 11,905, which is an increase of 747 over the previous year. The number of vagrants committed is 837, which is a decrease of 134 from the previous year. The number committed as disorderly, breach of the peace and threatening is 6,524, which is an increase of 647 over the previous year. The number of commitments is certainly large, but when the amount of population is considered, it will, perhaps, be found not to exceed the number usually committed in other large cities. The population of the City and County of Philadelphia in 1830, was 167,188. In 1840 it was 258,037. In 1850 it was 409,353. The second period shows an increase of more than 54 pei cent, over the first period; and the third period shows ar increase of more than 58 per cent, over the second period. The population of 1850 compared with the population of 1830, shows an increase in twenty years of 144 per cent The number of commitments however has increased in a much larger ratio. The Prison has been open eighteen years. The number committed the first year, or in 1836, was 2,373; and in 1853 the number was 11,905, or an in- crease of more than 401 per cent. The number of vagrants, disorderly, breach of the peace and threatening cases, committed in 1836, was 1,157; and in 1853 it was 7,361, or an increase of more than 536 per cent. Various causes 9 may be assigned for this large increase of prisoners, espe- cially those charged with vagrancy and disorderly conduct, but it is useless to speculate about causes. The result, how- ever, is ascertained by the records of the Prison, about which there can be no dispute.

What effect this will have upon the number of commitments to the Prison, 10 can only be determined by experience. In lieu of fees, the City Councils are authorized, not required, to appoint as many Aidermen as the public welfare may require, po- lice or committing magistrates. The Aidermen so ap- pointed are to receive such compensation as may be pro- vided by Councils, to be paid out of the city treasury. This power of appointment will probably be exercised; the law, however, does not forbid any Aiderman from committing all persons against whom complaints shall be made, as heretofore. The restriction only applies to their receiving fees. A popular opinion exists that some Aidermen com- mit persons for the sole purpose of extorting money for the payment of fees, from relatives or friends. If the alle- gation is well founded, there is but little hope of a dimi- nution of the number of commitments, for if magistrates resort to such measures to obtain fees, their ingenuity will soon discover a mode by which the provisions of the new law will be evaded. That persons are frequently commit- ted for trivial offences, does not admit of a doubt; and sometimes cases of extreme hardship occur. The want of proper discrimination by Aidermen, and the artfulness of complainants produce these results. But errors of this sort may happen with Aidermen selected by Councils as readily as with Aldermen simply elected by the people. The motive, however, for making indiscriminate commit- ments where fees are allowed, may in part be removed by giving a salary. But magistrates have it in their power to demand their fees before issuing the process, and to this extent all motive for committing the party complained against, is as fully removed in one case as the other. Intimately connected with this subject is the question of erecting a "House of Correction for Vagrants." Of 11 the large number of persons sent to prison as vagrants and for disorderly conduct, including all others who are inclu- ded by those terms, most of them are fit subjects for the House of Correction. The Prison has no terrors for them. The pride of man or womanhood is destroyed, and of course no trace of shame can be discovered in their faces; and when even furnished with employment outside side the Prison walls, they are unable to perform it. Bro- ken down by disease and debaucheries of all kinds, the in- tellect is stupefied, the faculties benumbed, and their ener- gies destroyed. Without shelter or a home, they wander about from place to place, seeking a precarious support- living upon the charity of others, and at night herding with the profligate of both sexes and color, it is no wonder they fall easy victims to intemperance and petty crimes. A person on the descending plane of social life is hurried onward to the final end with fearful rapidity. He may struggle manfully for a time, but if left to himself, the dark wave of degradation soon rolls over him, and he is buried beneath it forever. Human character as developed by cir- cumstances, presents many phases, which to be understood, must be closely examined. Wonder and amazement are often excited at the fall of an individual in the enjoyment of high social position, or in the possession of wealth, or in the contentment of a comfortable home. This is only one side of the picture of human life, and it strikes harshly upon the public ear. The distress of family and friends is sincere and poignant. The victim, however, lives on in the midst of scenes made familiar by happier days, and is soon forgotten by those who wept so bitterly at the time of his fall. If astonishment is excited at this episode in life, it will 12 be immensely increased at witnessing the elevation of a child of wretchedness to the comforts of a home, to afflu- ence and respectability. But the way of reformation is hard, because the appetites are diseased, the functions of the system deranged, and the susceptibilities of the heart nearly dried up. The future once clouded, the bright sun of hope is seldom seen or thought of again, except as a dream or vision appears to the disturbed mind, to recall some unpleasant event or transaction. The policy of providing for the wants of the outcasts of society by the public cannot be questioned, even if no bet- ter motive than interest is assigned for doing so. The ex- ample of a vagrant's life is contagious, and familiarity with any unpleasant thing soon becomes bearable, and loses much of its hideousness and disgust. The stigma attached to the commission of crime frequently, and for a long time, deters those who are predisposed, from embarking upon the fearful experiment. The horror or dread of becoming a vagrant should be inculcated in the same manner. A house set apart for the maintenance and reformation of va- grants will be regarded by the uninitiated with greater loathing than the Prison House itself. The inmates of such an establishment will have more inducements to re- form than under the present system, for they will have the consciousness of earning their own support. An Institu- tion, such as the Board of inspectors has often recom- mended, would more than support itself, which, on the score of economy, will annually save the public a large sum of money. But should this consideration fail to induce the constituted authorities to erect the necessary buildings, and perfect a House of Correction, public decency still de- mands that it should be done. An Alms House has been 13 provided for the reception and support of the poor of both sexes, without much regard to their virtue or merit, and the public sight, except to a limited extent, is not appalled and disgusted by the obtrusion of squalid poverty. The Board of Inspectors again earnestly press the subject upon the attention of the Legislature. In the last Annual Report the two following tables were first inserted, showing the condition of convict prisoners in several respects, at the time of their commitment: Table, showing the habits of convicts in the use of intoxicating liquors, when received into the Philadelphia County Prison, under three heads, to wit: temperate men, moderate drinkers, and intemperate men.

The Prison Society and its ACTING COMMITTEE have been more tenacious upon this subject than any one else. The Board of Inspectors, however, have at all times extended to them and all other official visiters, every facility and 15 courtesy in their power, consistent with the well being of the Institution. The Board of Inspectors are alone responsible for the government of the Prison, and may at their discretion, adopt such rules for its government as they see proper. There can be but one head in the management of the Prison, and this has been conferred by law on the Board of Inspectors. The act of 1835 declares that "a majority of said Inspectors shall constitute a Board, may do any of the acts required of the said Inspectors, and make such rules for the internal government of the prisons as may not be inconsistent with the principles of separate or soli- tary confinement, as set forth in this act." The power here conferred is full and complete. The Board of Inspectors are authorized to adopt such rules for the government of the Prison as they deem necessary, with but one exception. The rules must not be inconsistent with the principles of separate or solitary confinement. In pursuance of this authority, the Inspectors adopted a rule excluding all persons from the Prison on the Sabbath day. The rule is general, and applies to all visiters, and was adopted from the necessity of the case. A portion only of the keepers remain on duty on the Sabbath, and it will not be pretended, that even official visiters should be allowed free access to the Prison and to the cells of con- victs without some supervision. There is nothing connected with the duties of the Act- ing Committee of the Prison Society which should make them an exception to the rule. It is true, their visitations are of a friendly character, both as regards prisoners and the Institution itself. The Society of which they are the organ, has existed for many years, and it was instituted at 16 a time when the physical and intellectual wants of priso- ners were much less cared for than at the present time- when prisoners were confined in dark, damp and loathsome cells-when the old and young in years and crime were in- discriminately huddled together in small apartments-when vice of every description ruled rampant throughout the es- tablishment-when untried prisoners as well as convicts were left for long periods to suffer the effects of cold, hunger and sickness, and stripes and torture. To relieve those miseries the Society was instituted, and without doubt it has been instrumental in doing much good. But an enlightened public opinion long since demanded the utter annihilation of such cruelties. The revised code of Pennsylvania and her separate system of confinement have rendered the newly constructed County Prisons and the Penitentiaries of the Commonwealth comparatively comfortable abodes for the wicked and unfortunate-have almost superseded the necessity for continuing the Acting Committee as official visiters. But still, some of the members of the Committee, and of the Society, desire to visit the Prison on the Sabbath day. This may be convenient for them, but it causes great inconvenience in the Prison, and is attended with no practical good. There is attached to the Prison, and in the employment of the Board of Inspectors, a gentleman, who performs the duties of Moral Instructor. He is a good and pious man, and every way qualified for the re- sponsible station. He spends his whole time during the week, in teaching and instructing prisoners in those things which concern their temporal and eternal welfare. On the Sabbath day he preaches in the Prison, or provides a com- petent person to supply his place. 17 The Acting Committee claim the right as official visiters to visit the Prison at such times as suit their convenience. If the Committee may do this, so may every other official visiter, which is so extraordinary a power, that to state it is to refute it. But what are the rights, powers and duties of official visiters ? If they are so potential, they must be defined in some act of Assembly. The statute, however, is entirely silent upon the subject; it may be asserted there- fore with great confidence that they are subordinate to the Board of Inspectors. " No person," says the law, " shall be permitted to visit the Prison excepting official visiters, herein after specified, who has not a permission in writing from one of the In- spectors." But this does not allow official visiters to see prisoners. The discretion is with the Inspectors. The ex- ception in their favor is that they may have access to the Prison without being obliged to obtain a written permission from an Inspector, every time they come. But the In- spectors may require official visiters to produce sufficient evidence of their character when they apply for admission; and they may also require them to visit on particular days, and between certain hours, and this would be absolutely necessary if all official visiters were in the habit of making frequent calls. This class of visiters number nearly two hundred, and it will scarcely be contended that they have the right to go in and out of the Prison at pleasure; nor is it compatible with their own safety. It maybe neces- sary sometimes to exclude all persons from seeing pri- soners, and of this the Inspectors are the sole judges. This high prerogative is for the enforcement of right and the preservation of good discipline. But it may be said an exception should be made in favor o 18 of the Acting Committee. We think differently. If they are allowed to visit on the Sabbath day, others will claim the same privilege, which will impose more labor on the keepers than is desirable; nor are such visitations required in order to promote the well being of prisoners. The dis- pensation of charity should not be made with ostentatious display, nor should it be so sparingly given as to seek the Sabbath, instead of a secular day to bestow it. During the past year a new Hospital building has been erected separate from the other buildings, but within the enclosure of the Prison walls, and it will be ready for use in the early part of the summer, should there be an occa- sion for it. The Rev. William Alexander continues to perform the duties of Moral Instructor, to the satisfaction of the Board of Inspectors.
