Asks Change Of Status For The State Prison Governor McLcan Recommcnd* Thai II l?r M:ult? Kruii lar Stutr Department Iii>(catl of Separate Corpora lion and Policy Adopted Mi:kr S?'lf-Sii|)|K?rtiiif: Ilnlclgh, Feb. 23. ? In a special - to tht* Gene ral Assembly . today. Governor Mel^-an lecutn* mended that the State Prison be changed from the status of a s< p arat*? corporation to a regular State department. He urged that a policy In adopted whereby convicts ran be worked upon the State highway* | and In other public* projects in : counties, aiul If found Impossible' Ji o give employment to all prison |f-rs under this plan to employ l^onvicts in such other work ut will enable it to aid in pro:not-i inu the policy of making the pris-j on self-supporting. In urging that tli?? prison be maintained upon an appropriation, basis the Governor asked that ap propriations for permanent liu-j provetuentK at tin- central prise n and farms be granted. The Governor said in part: "Of a total population of ap proximately 1.200 prisoners only about 000 are revcnue-produclni! prisoners, even when steady em ployment Is available. During tie period b? ginning Noveinbi r 30. 1920, and ending December 31. 1924, covering three years and one month the total revenue from revenue-producing prisoners wai ns follows: "Sale of farm produce, $130. 474.47; work in quarries, $466. 4 36.82; work on highways. $2K0, 700. 4 ?? : work on Madison County road, $49,904.35; rale of brick. $31,204.03; sale of lumber. $?'?. 601.00; or a total income of $1.-1 164,4 2 1 .13. "During this period the reve- j nue-produclng prlsonerB not only . paid for their own maintenance, but produced an operating surplu*' of $250,695.77. ?'The cost of maintenance of the non-revenUe-producing prison-, era was $437,012.90 and after ap-j plying the surplus earned by the! revenue-producing prisoners to the cost of maintaining the non-| j revenue-producing prisoners, there L resulted an operating deficiency Kon January 1, 1325, for the period j "of three years and one month, of' ) 1 86,317.13. "In addition to this deficiency ; of $ 1 86,317.1 3 In the operating I account the prison management ? spent for additions and better ment a during the period under re- 1 ?lew, $112,530.29. over and above the amount provided for perma nent iin??roveme.nt?. from bonds Issued as authorized by the Gen eral Assembly. It will be seen, therefore, that the net debit bal ance on January 1, 1925. for which the General Fund of the] State Is ultimately liable, was $298,817.42. "From an examination of the report of the legislative lludget Commission Hied January 30. j 1926. It appears that Ibis amount I was not included In the estimate j they made of the debit balance aa of December 31. 1924. "The report of the superlnten- j dent further shows that there will , be an additional deficiency from operation*. estimated for the pe riod from January 1, 1925 to] June 30, 1925, of $131,995.00 or a total debit balance of $130. 842.42 at the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1926. "From the estimate of the re sult of operattona for the bienni uni beginning July 1, 1925. it ap , p.ars that the total disbursement:'! for each year during the next 1 biennium will be approximately $557,000.00 and that the total revenues from farms and all oth-( or soutus will be about $281. per year, resulting in a net operating deficiency of $275,200 for each year, if the Operation* ,tof the prison are conducted un der the same general conditions that prevail at the present time.' "The unfavorable result * thus indicated are due to a number of causes. "The prison has at the present time only two principal sources of ( revenue; that from farm opera- j tlons and that derived from con tracts for labor In quarries and on highways. "There are two farms In oper ation. "Camp Polk Farm near lla-l lelgh. purchas-d in 1920, is com paratively a good Investment and i appears to have produced a proflf i year by year since It wa* put in j general cultivation. The Caledonia Farm, sold In i 1919, larsely on credit, was tak en hack by the Stale on account : of the Inability of the purchasers to meet their payments slid b? cause of their Insolvency. Tills farri contains about 6,000 acres and was taken over by the pres ent prison administration In Feb ruary, 1923. This farm, when It was returned to the State, wa* run ' down and in such bad condition that It entailed an outlay of some ?thing over $70,000.00 to put It In condition to be properly cultlvat ed. "About 1,200 acres of the cleared land on thla farm war. still / unfit for cultivation on January 1 of Ibis year, but Is now being rapidly Improved and made ready , l fOr cultivation. "The most profitable source ofi revenue In the paat has b*en the labor of ill.. rc.i;\icts when they wm w ?( Ued in quarri. s produc ill" mat* rials for hiiiJiwuy ccri* oliurtkm or it. ttci-,al r r ust ruc tion.

I reocom- ' mend th.it a law bo enacted at | th;s Session '-hanging the Slate's' Prison froin the status of a sepa rate corporation to n regular de partnunt of tlio State govern ment. That a Hoard of Directors, consisting of a Chairman ami six othem bo appointed by the Gover nor quadrennially, by and with the aidvlce and consent of tho Senate, to bo subject at all times to removal by the. Governor and with power in the Governor to till any vacancies. 3 r That a policy of state-use i be adopted whereby convicts may be worked up the State highways and in other public work in the' counties and other sub-divisions, ll it is found to bo impossible to .give employment to all able-bo died convicts under this plan, the management should be authorized to employ convicts in such other' work as will enable it to aid in carrying out the policy of making ihe Prison self-supporting as con templated by the Consltution. 4: That tho Prison be main tained upon an appropriation bas 1 is. appropriations to be mado from the General Fund and to be included In tho liudget Appro-; piiaiion (Hill for the blennium beginning July I. 1923. so that It may be financed upon the same bat>it* as other Institutions of the State government. 5 : That the request of the . Legislative Budget Commission contained in Its report of January , 30. 1925 for permanent Improve ment* at the Central Prison and at tlie Prison farms, amounting to $230,000.00 be authorized and included in the Institutional Ilond Hill to be enacted at this session, in order to jnake these recommen dations effective It will be nec essary to appropriate an amount eqqal to the total disbursements' for each fiscal year of the blen nium. and require the Prison to! pay over to the State Treasurer all revenues received by It. 6: That the Board of Directors of the -Prison, by and with the consent and approval of the Gov ernor and Council of Slate, be authorized to purchase such ma-, chlnory and equipment as they may deem necessary to enable the | the Prison management to pro vide employment for th*? prison ers confined in the Central Prls |on, to be finance! by short term ' notes Issued by the Treasuror un til the meeting of tho General Assembly In 1927. 7: That there shall be trans ferred to the General Fund the* aceumulated deficiency of $29X.-1 847.42 as of January 1, 1925, the $40,000.00 due for fertiliser and whatever deficiency may oc cur between January 1, 1925 and June 30. 1925. In the operating nccount of the Prison to that date be transferred to the general fund I of the Treasury. 8:lfnder Chaptor 271 of the j Public Local Laws of 1923, the I Prison was required to furnish ! prisoners to complete a certain rond in Madison County, Under that statute a 'large number of 1 prisoners were worked for a pe 1 rlod of about eight months up to J February 1. 1925, for which the I General Fund of the Treasury! paid to the Prison $55.944 .35. "Slnre this law was enacted the Slate Highway Commission has I included the Madison County ' road in route 20 of the State Highway System and construc tion it now continuing under di rection and control of the State j much as the State Highway Com mission hnn assumed control of this roa-l I believe that the C'?m j mission should reimburse the | General Fund for the amount 1 paid to the State's Prison up to ! March 1. and should also pay to the Prison tho amount duo for the labor of the convict# on said rond until the work Is complet ' cd. which, I am Informed, will cover a period of probably 12 months from March 1.
