Philadelphia County Prison, 
February lU7i, 1856 
Hon. ANDREW G. CURTIN, 
Secretary of the Commonwealth: 
Sir : In compliance with the law passed the 27th day 
of February, A. D. 1847, the Board of Inspectors of the 
Philadelphia County Prison make their Ninth Annual 
Report. 
The statistical tables, herewith submitted, exhibit a full 
and very satisfactory history of the Institution for the 
year, and taken accurately from the books, is of that full 
and reliable character needed to enlighten the community 
on the treatment of criminals. It will be seen that 
the number of commitments have considerably in- 
creased beyond the previous year. The prevalence 
of cholera in 1854 occasioned the reduction of that 
year, but the increase over the year 1853 is 1648. 
The tables will exhibit that the commitments from the 
use of intoxicating drinks, accounts for about one-half of 
this difference. The whole number committed for intoxi- 
cation is 2,414, but when it is taken into the account that 
nearly all of the cases of Assault and Battery, numbering 6 
1,984, disorderly or breach of peace cases 3,554, misde- 
meanors 795, and vagrants 2,606, making a total of 11,353, 
are nearly all traceable to the use of intoxicating liquors, 
the conviction will be forced upon the public mind that 
the expenses of the Prison are mainly for this class of 
cases. Whether so serious a state of things arises from the 
base appetite for strong drinks, or the many temptations 
presented by the low groggeries of the City, it is an alarm- 
ing evil that must ere long be corrected. The enormous 
tax upon the innocent, and law-respecting and law-abid- 
ing portion of the community, will yet arouse our citizens 
to throw off this enormous incubus upon our real prosperity. 
A House of Correction would in a great measure relieve 
the prison of its expenses and burden, and is eminently 
needed and desired; but the axe laid at the root of the 
evil, by stopping the present free access to the use of intoxi- 
cating drinks, and removing the ten thousand temptations 
that abound in the city, will alone correct to any great 
extent. 
Table No. 3 exhibits the disposition made of the persons 
sent to the prison. Of the whole number committed by 
magistrates, 4,829 were discharged by them; of the num- 
ber of commitment cases, 458 ignored by the Grand Jury, 
and 4,908 discharged by the Inspectors. 
It is certainly true, that the magistrates have before 
them numbers where the charge is insufficient for commit- 
ments ; and here is manifest the wisdom of the appointment 7 
of a Prison Agent, whose duty it is to inquire, as far as 
possible, into cases of minor guilt or innocence, and if the 
case justifies it, the magistrate will discharge the person- 
from confinement. This arrangement saves a large sum 
in the expenses of the prison, and in numerous cases their 
families are relieved from the suffering incident to the 
confinement of one upon whom they are often dependent 
for support. Mr. AV. J. Mullen has now been engaged in 
this service for several years, and his continuance in the 
office by the Inspectors exhibits their confidence in his 
discretion and good judgment in the discharge of his 
duties. 
Owing to the want of accommodation and room for labor, 
the Inspectors are not able to retain as large a number of 
prisoners as are sent to them for thirty days' confinement, 
and in the exercise of their discretion, as allowed by law, 
they are compelled to discharge a large number of persons. 
The House of Correction would meet this difficulty, and 
would to a great extent, avoid the stigma attached to the 
confinement of a prison. 
The general health of the prisoners during the past year 
has been remarkably good; in the Male Convict Depart- 
ment no deaths have occurred, (this being the first exemp- 
tion for twenty years, see Table No. 19.) In the Female 
Convict Department, two cases resulted fatally. Their 
diseases were chronic, and they had been frequent inmates 
of the Prison. Dr. A. M. Burden is the regular physician of 8 
the Prison, and devotes all his time to the care of the sick. 
He has the general direction of the Medical Department, 
and the duties of his position are fulfilled punctually, and 
with all the attention that can be desired. 
Inasmuch as the condition of the heating apparatus of 
the Prison has caused much anxiety to the Inspectors, and 
some serious results, an appropriation was made to change 
the manner of warming the building. The Inspectors have 
remedied this difficulty, by the introduction of twenty-four 
Boynton's Patent Heaters, and thus far they have given 
entire satisfaction. 
The officers of the Prison have continued the same as 
in the previous year, and they have all continued to dis- 
charge their duties to the satisfaction of the Board of In- 
spectors. Mr. Charles Hortz, the Superintendent, upon 
whom the largest responsibility rests, has fully met the 
expectations of the Inspectors, as to capability and 
integrity. 
The influence of an individual, who has access to the 
prisoners with a view to secure a reformation of conduct 
and return to correct moral principles, cannot be too highly 
estimated-while it is noiseless, it is efficient. While too 
often the person appointed is received coldly by those 
brought to the prison, steeped in crime, he secures their 
confidence, and gains great power over them. The fact 
that insubordination among the prisoners has rarely called 
for interference or punishment by the Inspectors, is in a 9 
great measure due to this quiet influence, and the Inspec- 
tors are pleased to name, that they still have the valuable 
services of the Rev. William Alexander, who is eminently 
fitted to fill the position he occupies. He is also engaged 
in efforts to advance the prisoners in studies of a primary 
character, so that many go from the prison stimulated to 
efforts of improvement, that lessen much the temptation 
to crime. 
In connection with this the Inspectors add, that Mrs. 
Elizabeth Bioren has been engaged to labor with female 
prisoners, to the end that they may be made acquainted 
with some of the more useful employments of women, that 
will tend to encourage habits of industry and respect for 
themselves. She is denominated the Sewing Instructress, 
and already the Inspectors have witnessed the good results 
of her efforts.
