C. Edwards & Broughton Printing Company State Printers 1923 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL To His Excellency, Cameron Morrison, Governor of North Carolina. Sik:— We, the Hoard of Directors of the State's Prison, submit here-with the reports of Mr. George Ross Pou, Superintendent of the State's Prison, Mr. Hugh A. Love, Clerk, Mr. S. J. Busbee, "Warden, and Dr. J. H. Norman, Physician, for the period beginning December 1, 1920, and ending June 30, 1922, with additional report from July 1, 1922, to November 30, 1922. These reports have been read, con-sidered and formally approved and adopted by us. We desire to call your especial attention to the recommendations of the Superintendent. We wish especially to acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. George Ross Pou, Superintendent, Mr. Hugh A. Love, Clerk, Mr. S. J. Busbee, Warden, and Dr. J. H. Norman, Physician, for their devotion to duty, their hearty cooperation, without whose wise, economical and efficient administration of their several offices we feel this splendid report could not be possible. Respectfully, Jas. A. Leak, Chairman; R. M. Chatham, A. L. Bullock, E. B. Ficklen, W. M. Sanders. 13] STATE PRISON, RALEIGH This institution was founded by an act of the General Assembly, ratified! the 12th day of April, A. D. 1869, entitled "An Act to Provide for the Erection of a Penitentiary." Reference is made to the act cited, and also to the Report of the Commission to Erect a Penitentiary, Document No. 18, Legis-lative Documents, 1868-70. The prison building is a magnificent brick structure, erected upon granite foundation. The prison wall is of granite, and is twenty feet in height and six feet broad at the top, and its base is said to extend sixteen feet below the surface. The building and wall are estimated to have cost the State more than a million and a quarter dollars. The institution is situated about one mile west of the Capitol on the extension of Morgan Street and near Hillsboro road. The affairs of the prison are administered by a board of five directors appointed by the Governor. The Dangerous Insane Department is maintained out of the State Prison earnings.

Bullock Rowland 14] REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT POU To The Honorable Board of Directors, of The State's Prison: As Superintendent and in compliance with law, I submit herewith for your approval, report of affairs of the State's Prison from December 1, 1920, to June 30, 1922, both inclusive. Of the time for which this report, with accompanying tables of population and finance is made, the Hon. J. R. Collie served as Super-intendent from December 1, 1920, to April 15, 1921; and the Hon. E. F. McCulloch as Superintendent from April 15, 1921, to May 3, 1921. I have served as Superintendent since May 5, 1921. Heretofore, these reports have covered a two-year period, but a recent act of the Legislature prescribes the report shall be made as of June 3'0th. In view of the fact, however, that the State's Prison is extensively engaged in farming, and it being practically impossible to estimate growing crops, which would be necessary to make a com-plete financial report as of June 30th, I am taking the liberty of submitting herewith supplemental report from July 1, 1922, to Decem-ber 1, 1922. The population of the State's Prison on November 30, 1920, was '753, and of the Dangerous Insane Department, 60, making a total of 813 persons under the care and supervision of this institution. As will be shown in tables, elsewhere with this report, the popu-lation of the State's Prison on June 30, 1922, was 997, and of the Dangerous Insane Department 67, a total of 1,064 persons, an in-crease in nineteen months of more than 30%. FINANCE The audited reports of Mr. C. N". Goodno, C. P. A., are published •elsewhere in this report and are self-explanatory. The schedules pre-sented by Mr. Goodno show itemized receipts and expenditures. I also submit herewith statement of current assets and liabilities as <of November 30, 1922. On that date our liabilities were $50,079.66, -open accounts due and $47,000.00 notes due banks, amounting to $97,079.66, offsetting which we have assets of $39,051.77 for coal, new clothing, shoes, blankets, food, silage, etc., on hand at Central Prison {inventory submitted), and $92,574.80 worth brick, swine, farm prod- 15] 6 Biennial Report of State's Prison ucts, on hand, team and farm implements and machinery purchased bj this Board (inventory submitted) ; $20,398.24 cash with State Treas-urer, and $31,510.62 due for labor; totalling $183,535.43. This leaves a surplus of $86,455.77, created during this administration, to which may be added additions to permanent improvements (see report of Auditor Goodno) amounting to $14,483.13, a total of $100,938.90. This amount represents the earnings of this administration over ex-penses. Purchases have been made on competitive bids. All bids returned are on file in my office for inspection. On January 31, 1921, and for some time prior thereto the State's Prison received $3.25 per day for convict labor. On February 1, 1921, the per diem was reduced by your predecessors to $2.50 and on May 1T 1921, this Board made a further reduction to $2.00; on October 1, 1921, it became necessary for this Board to reduce the per diem to $1.75, which price was held until June 1, 1922, when the per diem for prison labor was raised to $2.00, which is the present price. As shown under population tables, our population has increased more than 30%. Naturally, our expenses for food, clothing and em-ployes also increased approximately 30%. Our population, while increasing in number, has also steadily increased in a larger percentage of forced non-producers. I am perfectly satis-fied at least 25% of our total population are physically unable to per-form farm or road duty. Of these present non-producers more than half could at least earn their individual expense if some industry could be established within the prison. A standard menu has been adopted, copy of which you will find else-where in this report. I have put forth every effort to maintain sanitary quarters wherever our prisoners are confined and I am advised by representatives of the State Health Department that all quarters of the State's Prison inspected by them show signs of great improvement. Every care possible under existing circumstances has been given the prisoners relative to their health. Under present laws the State's Prison is punitive—as it should be, to a certain extent. Yet I am convinced the prison should be made more reformative and educational, but this cannot be done under existing laws relative to financing the prison. The present laws gov-erning the handling and treatment of prisoners are practically suffi-cient. Biennial Report of State's Prison 7 I respectfully recommend that this Honorable Board exert itself in every proper manner to secure the passage at the next General Assem-bly of the following legislation : An act authorizing the Board of Directors of the State's Prison to establish industries within the prison, and for the sale of the products of such industries to the public ; or requiring other State institutions to use such products as practical; and providing for an appropriation sufficient to purchase and install any necessary machinery. It has been suggested that we could manufacture the desks and chairs which are used in the public schools. This act would not only be of voca-tional value, but would give many prisoners work who are now forced idlers. An act repealing the law which now prohibits the State's Prison to sell prison-made brick to other than State institutions. DANGEROrs INSANE DEPARTMENT 111 this Department there are confined 67 insane people. Some of these inmates are born idiots who can neither speak coherently nor feed themselves. For instance, there are two boys about fifteen years of age and a young white girl, who are absolutely devoid of all reason and have been since birth. These children have been committed to this Department, two for assault with deadly weapon; the other charge is not stated. There are many other similar cases. The majority of the patients give very little trouble to the management. A number of the inmates were committed on charge of assault. These people are totally irresponsible. They should be held to account no more for their acts than other insane persons. These unfortunates are entitled to the same care and treatment as the other insane. The law establishing the Dangerous Insane Department provides these people shall receive the same care and treatment as if they were confined in one of the State's hospitals for insane. The law pro-vides for an appropriation of $5,000.00 per annum for the support of this Department. It further provides this amount shall be paid out of the earnings of the State's Prison. Therefore, the State appro-priates not one penny for these unfortunates. Five thousand dollars per annum is insufficient, and our records disclose an expenditure of $10,641.61 per annum. And even this is insufficient. The wards in which these people are confined are improvised, unsafe and totally unsuited for such purpose. Believing these people entitled to the same care and attention by the State as other insane persons, I respectfully recommend that this Honorable Board of Directors expend every effort possible for 8 Biennial Report of State's Prison the passage at the coining • General Assembly of a bill "providing for the immediate abolition of the Dangerous Insane Department of the State's Prison," and that provisions be made at the various State hos-pitals for insane for the care and scientific treatment of persons now confined in the Dangerous Insane Department. TUBERCULAR WARD In this department are confined all prisoners who may have tuber-culosis. County prisoners having tuberculosis may be transferred to this department upon voluntary application ; the law is not compulsory. The ward, however, is absolutely unsuited for such purpose. I re-spectfully recommend the establishment of a tubercular colony at some proper place in the State, preferably near Sanatorium. I believe a law should be passed and enforced that all prisoners of the State or counties who may have or develop tuberculosis shall be transferred to this colony. The General Assembly should provide an appropriation for the purchase of property and erection of suitable buildings for the care of these sick people. This Department should be absolutely di-vorced from the State's Prison. It should be placed under the juris-diction of the State Health Department. Ten thousand dollars per year would, I believe, care for maintenance at this time. IMPROVEMENTS During your administration the heating plant and water-works have been greatly improved at considerable cost. An additional 100 horse-power boiler has been installed. The entire system was in very bad state of repair. An entirely new system should be installed, and it is the opinion of competent engineers it could be operated far more economically than the present antiquated system. Water mains should be laid around the prison and connected with City of Raleigh water supply. This to be for fire protection. We now have none. In order to do this, however, it would require an expenditure of prob-ably $25,000.00, and I request that you gentlemen secure an appro-priation from the General Assembly for this purpose. An operating room has been properly outfitted with necessary ap-paratus. A brick wall has replaced the old and expensive board fence which formerly surrounded the front of the prison. Steam heat has been installed in the tubercular wards, the hos-pital, chapel and library. Many other minor improvements have been made. Biennial Report of State's Prison 9 An excellent system of bookkeeping has been adopted. The new system readily reveals extravagance, if any, in any department. These books are ably kept by Maj. H. A. Love, Chief Clerk, audited every month and a consolidated audit made to you every six months. FARMS CAMP POLK The Camp Polk Farm, as you know, was in a very low state of •cultivation when purchased by your predecessors in 1920. The crop in 1921 was not a success on account of low fertility of soil and a drought. We raised in 1921, 234 bales of cotton, whereas in 1922 we raised, on practically the same acreage, 441 bales. We have raised a large quantity of corn, wheat, oats, peas, soy beans, sweet and Irish potatoes, alfalfa and peavine hay, and will this year slaughter over 300 fattening hogs. An orchard consisting of 250 apple trees and 250 peach trees has been planted. A sweet potato storage house has been built, with a capacity of 2,500 bushels. New living quarters for employes and prisoners are needed at the Camp Polk Farm. The prisoners' quarters are insufficient in size and unsafe. Our prison road camps excel the general living conditions at the farm. The Legislature should make an appropriation of $50,000.00 for the erection of suitable buildings. CALEDONIA FARM In December, 1919, your predecessors sold the Caledonia Farm in Halifax County with the exception of approximately 1,200 acres. Dur-ing 1921, a part of the land sold was advertised under forclosure and repurchased by this Board. In March, 1922, this Board directed that we cultivate as much of the property in our possession as we con-sistently could. With twenty men and fourteen mules we made on the part cultivated approximately 250 tons peavine hay, 2,000 barrels corn, 1,800 bushels peas and more than 50 tons of fodder. CALEDONIA FARM LAND NOTES We received notes from former administration secured by deeds of trust on Caledonia Farm amounting to $365,061.59. The amount of $20,051 has been collected on these notes. Property amounting to $270,232.83 has either been sold under foreclosure or is now advertised. It would seem that 80% of the Caledonia Farm, consisting of about 7,000 acres, will soon be again in the possession of the prison. Should you gentlemen decide to cultivate the Caledonia Farm the •coming year it will cost the prison fully $100,000.00 to purchase necessary teams, farming tools, machinery, replacement of bridges, cleaning the miles of ditches and the repair and erection of suitable 10 Biennial Report of State's Prison quarters for employes and prisoners. The General Assembly should also appropriate the sum of $50,000.00 for the erection of suitable buildings at Caledonia Farm. Eeports of Major Hugh A. Love, Clerk, Capt. S. J. Busbee, Warden, Dr. J. H. Norman, Physician, and Mr. C. N". Gobdno, Auditor, are also submitted herewith. Allow me to thank you, gentlemen of the Board, for your wise and practical counsel and direction. The success of this administration is the result of cordial cooperation and untiring efforts. I desire also to record my testimony as to the faithful and efficient cooperation of the officers and employes of the institution. Respectfully, Geo. Boss Pou, Superintendent.

George Ross Pou, Superintendent, N. C. States Prison, Raleigh, N. C. Sir:—As Warden of the Prison I have the honor to make the following report for the two years ending November 30, 1922 : During this period there have been several considerable improve-ments about the prison. The brick wall around the front grounds has added greatly to the appearance of the institution and will doubtless be remembered as a monument to the present administration. There has been a new one hundred horse-power boiler installed and about one thousand feet of steam piping put in the buildings for the Hos-pital and Dangerous Insane Department, which does away with the wood stoves formerly used and adds considerably to the comfort and safety of the buildings. The discipline at the prison has been extremely good during this period. There has been no serious outbreak or infraction of the rules, nor any necessity for severe punishment of any of the prisoners, "nor has there been any inflicted, notwithstanding the population at the Central Prison is rapidly increasing with cripples and infirm prisoners, who are as a rule harder to manage and disciplinize than the able-bodied men. My total count of prisoners including the criminal insane today is three hundred and fifteen. "We have purchased several fine Jersey cows during the past two years and now have a herd of fourteen cows, which furnish plenty of milk for the institution. I have received through my office during the past nineteen months, 598 prisoners committed to the general prison from various counties. In addition to the above, I have received twenty-nine men under sentence of death, ten white and nineteen colored. Nine of this number have been electrocuted, five commuted to sentences in prison, one sent back to court for new trial and fourteen remain in safekeeping under death sentence. We now have forty-five women prisoners at this place. They are used in laundry work and in the tailoring department, where all clothing is made for the prison and Dangerous Insane Department. [13] 14 Biennial Report of State's Prison The Insane Department lias seventy inmates, who receive the most careful attention by the attendants in charge and Dr. J. H. Norman, Prison Physician. The food which is furnished the inmates of this prison is of a good quality and carefully prepared. During my twenty-seven years' experience with the Prison I have never known the inmates fed and cared for as well as they are today. We have Sabbath School and preaching every Sunday for the prisoners. The services are conducted by several pastors and teachers from the city. A New Testament is given each prisoner upon entrance. In conclusion of my report I wish to extend to you my highest appreciation and thanks for your never failing cooperation with the duties assigned me. Respectfully submitted, S. J. Busbee, Warden. REPORT OF DR. NORMAN To the Superintendent and Board of Directors of The State's Prison : Gentlemen :—The health of the prisoners has been excellent this year, considering we have all the Criminal Insane and all the feeble from any cause who are not 'able to work. I attribute this mostly to a well balanced and nourishing diet. By dieting them we have almost eliminated pellagra, which at one time was causing more sickness and deaths than any other one cause. I wish to call your attention to the tuberculars. For several reasons their quarters are not suitable. To get fresh air, sunshine and a little exercise they have to walk down four long flights of stairs and then up again, which would be quite an effort for a well person and is entirely too much for them. In going down they mingle with the other sick prisoners more or less and if they are not constantly watched spend much time visiting in the other wards. The condition is much worse in the Criminal Insane Department. Here they can-not be separated and all are constantly exposed both night and day when there is a tubercular among them. Fortunately, we do not have many tuberculars among the insane. Tuberculosis causes a big per-centage of deaths among our prisoners. We are now prepared to do practically all the surgery that needs to be done in the prison. We are fairly well equipped, except we need a better operating room. In the last few months we have operated for and cured one with appendicitis, six hernias (ruptured), six circum-cisions, two enlarged tonsils, nine with hemorrhoids (piles), one castration, several with gunshot wounds, ten or twelve strictures of urethra, four with abscess of feet or hands and numerous other minor operations, including five fractures of bones in legs. Have had eighty-two Wassermans tests made for syphilis with thirty-three positives, twenty-one cured or with negative blood now, and twelve still under treatment. Have given four hundred injections of salvarsan and three hundred of mercury. We are also prepared to do all laboratory work necessary, both chemical and miscroseopical, such as examination of blood, urine, sputum, gastric contents, pus, etc. Every prisoner upon entrance has a complete physical examination and a record is kept. If there is any evidence of tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea, etc., he is detained [15L^ 16 Biennial Report of State's Prison for complete examination and treatment. All are vaccinated for both typhoid and smallpox upon entering. All prisoners are furnished with individual drinking cups. Before they are sent out to the camps they are re-examined as to their fitness for road work and none are sent who are' not in a good physical condition. ]STo sick prisoner is sent out to work and none are required to do work that they are not able to do. Our sick prisoners are put in the wards, which are kept much cleaner than most of the hospitals throughout the State, given clean clothing and beds, proper diet and good nursing. Their teeth are looked after regularly by a dentist and when needed they are put under the care of an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist. I added the above paragraphs because I am often shocked at how ignorant the public is as to how prisoners are treated. There is a widespread belief that the prisoners are half fed and are required to do the same amount of work regardless of their physical condition. Even some of the Judges write notes with the prisoners commitments asking the authorities to have the men examined and given treat-ment if needed. I wish to thank the Board for appointing one of our most promi-nent practicing physicians, Dr. Stancil, to assist me in the operations and for consultations when needed. I am also glad of this opportunity to thank the prison officials for their hearty cooperation. Respectfully, J. H. Norman, Prison Physician.

Baxter Durham, State Auditor, Raleigh, X. C. Dear Sir : As requested, I have audited the books of the State's Prison for a period of four years aud six months from May 1, 1917, to November 30, 1921, and submit as part of this report statements showing the transactions during that time. With the exception of Schedules IX, Xotes Receivable; X, Accounts Receivable; and XI, Xotes Payable; these statements deal entirely with Cash Receipts and Cash Disbursements, inasmuch as the only records which I found were those of cash received and deposited with the State Treasurer and the warrants drawn upon him. Many of the cash receipts are of such nature as not to admit of verification, consequently my statements are made upon the basis of receipts as recorded. Xo book record of assets and liabilities has been kept, neither was any ledger or other summary of income and expenditure, the only record being kept in one book showing a classified record of receipts and disbursements month by month, together with the cash balance on deposit with the State Treasurer at the end of each month. This form of record is utterly inadequate for the needs of any institution. The classification of expenditures is too limited to give any worth-while information and what little value the record might have had was destroyed by the method of entering the warrants, i. e., the whole amount of a warrant was charged to the account for which the largest item on the warrant was paid, thus rendering the analysis of expen-ditures untrustworthy and misleading. Consequently, as giving any real information as to earnings and maintained costs, the records are worthless and can only be accepted as a record of the cost which passed through the office of the State Treasurer. In addition to the expenditures by means of regular warrants upon the State Treasurer, I find that considerable sums were placed in the hands of the Clerk by means of regular warrants and these sums designated Emergency Fund (for amounts, see Schedule II). I do not find that any book record of this fund was kept prior to June 1, 1921, [27] 28 Biennial Report of State's Prison although it is my understanding that reports of expenditures were rendered monthly. The disbursement of $37,250.00 through this fund during the four years, if properly distributed upon the books, would make quite a different showing of the expenditures. As shown in Exhibit A, the accounts of the Prison have been recon-ciled with those of the State Treasurer and the necessary adjustments made. No reconciliation of these accounts had been made since the books were audited in 1917. Aside from the transactions recorded in the book of the State Prison and passed through the office of the State Treasurer, I have found transactions involving the receipt and disbursement of about $200,- 000.00, which were handled through local banks. Most of the items have been identified and explained by Mr. Collie, former Superintend-ent, during whose administration they transpired. These bank accounts are shown below in accordance with statements furnished by the banks and the source of the funds and their disposition designated so far as the information has been obtainable.

From the above it will be seen that a balance of $11,000.00 is still owing upon the last two notes- In addition to this the present adminis-tration has borrowed $2,000.00 in October, 1921, which also remains unpaid. In 1010, pursuant to an Act of the Legislature, the property known as the Caledonia Farm in Halifax County was sold. I do not find any book record showing the account of this sale and have had to 30 Biennial Report of State's Prison rely upon the biennial report for the years 1919-1920. It is my infor-mation that the terms of the sale were one-fourth cash and one-, two-and three-year notes for the remaining three-fourths. The receipt of $85,191.99 from Allen Bros., who conducted the sale, is recorded in the book of the Prison during the month of January, 1920, and Notes Receivable for $365,061.59 are on hand as shown in Schedule IX. The payments that have been made upon the principal of these land notes (as shown in the bank statement on the preceding page) are noted in the table below. No record was found of the commissions paid Allen Bros., nor of the expenses incident to the sale, but I am informed that a commission of 7%% and the expenses were deducted from the amount received as the one-fourth cash payment and that the $85,- 191.99 received from Allen Bros., was the net amount after deducting the said commission and expenses. Prom this it would appear that the commission amounted to $37,264.03 and the expenses $2,286.68. SALE OF CALEDONIA FARM Notes on Hand, Sale Price 12/1/21 Balance C. E.

Inasmuch as no records have been kept showing the •cost of the properties and fixed assets, it is impossible to include these until an appraisal is made; neither have the current working assets been included as it will be more satisfactory to set these up from a complete inventory. Biennial Report of State's Prison 31 I believe that the statements forming a part of this report are sufficiently detailed to require no special comment or explanation. It is my opinion, from the examination which I have made, that the accounts have been honestly kept hut that through ignorance of bookkeeping and failure to realize the importance of records, a com-plete history of the transactions is not to be had. This is not so much due to any individual as to a system under which positions requiring technical skill are filled by political preferment without regard to the qualifications of the appointee.

Mr. George Ross Pou, Superintendent, The State's Prison, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir :—As requested, I submit herewith the following statements taken from the books of the State's Prison : Receipts and Disbursements, December 1, 1920, to May 31, 1921. Income and Expenditure: June 1, 1921, to November 30, 1921 December 1, 1921, to June 30, 1922 July 1, 1922, to November 30, 1922 (Separate schedules showing in detail the expenditures for the latter two periods are also submitted. Statement of notes receivable, November 30, 1922. As noted in my audit report of February 11, 1922, the accounting for this institution prior to June 1, 1921, consisted only of a record of cash receipts and cash disbursements which was quite inadequate. The absence of ledger accounts made it impossible to determine the assets and liabilities, particularly the value of the land, buildings and equipment. It is true that inventories were included in the biennial report, but no prices or values were attached, consequently it was im-practicable to put them upon the new books which were opened on June 1, 1921. "While the books are still kept upon the basis of receipts and dis-bursements, the extended classification of the expenditures and the introduction of ledger accounts makes it possible to secure both detailed and summarized information as to the operations. I have examined the books each month and find that all income and expenditure is proper-ly accounted for and that supporting vouchers for the latter are on hand and conveniently filed. Furthermore, the more important trans-fers from one department to another are now recorded ; for instance, wood furnished from the farm for use of the Central Prison and the brick yard has been credited to the farm and charged to the Prison and the brick yard. I would again recommend that complete appraisals and inventories be made and the results put upon the books, showing the value of land, buildings and equipment in their entirety. I would also recommend [671 68 Biennial Report of State's Prison that the books be kept upon an accrual basis, showing the income in the period in which it is earned and the cost of operating in the period in which it is incurred ; supplies in the period in which they are consumed instead of that in which they are purchased; also recording the details of all transfers from one department to another. Excluding current uncollected incomes and current unpaid bills, the floating assets and liabilities on November 30, 1922, were : Cash, State Treasurer $ 20,398.24 Cash, Emergency Fund 113.76 Notes Receivable (see list) 319,275.10 Permanent Improvements, etc 14,483.13 Caledonia Farm, Land repossessed 29,613.30 $383,883.53 Notes Payable (not including $20,000 assumed by State Treasurer) $ 47,000.00 Accounts Payable 90,39 $ 47,090.39 Total $336,793.14 Respectfully, Chas. !N\ Goodno.

STATE PRISON, RALEIGH
This institution was founded by an act of the General Assembly, ratified!
the 12th day of April, A. D. 1869, entitled "An Act to Provide for the Erection
of a Penitentiary." Reference is made to the act cited, and also to the
Report of the Commission to Erect a Penitentiary, Document No. 18, Legis-lative
Documents, 1868-70.
The prison building is a magnificent brick structure, erected upon
granite foundation. The prison wall is of granite, and is twenty feet in
height and six feet broad at the top, and its base is said to extend sixteen
feet below the surface. The building and wall are estimated to have cost
the State more than a million and a quarter dollars.
The institution is situated about one mile west of the Capitol on the
extension of Morgan Street and near Hillsboro road.
The affairs of the prison are administered by a board of five directors
appointed by the Governor.
The Dangerous Insane Department is maintained out of the State Prison
earnings.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT POU
To The Honorable Board of Directors, of The State's Prison:
As Superintendent and in compliance with law, I submit herewith
for your approval, report of affairs of the State's Prison from December
1, 1920, to June 30, 1922, both inclusive.
Of the time for which this report, with accompanying tables of
population and finance is made, the Hon. J. R. Collie served as Super-intendent
from December 1, 1920, to April 15, 1921; and the Hon.
E. F. McCulloch as Superintendent from April 15, 1921, to May 3, 1921.
I have served as Superintendent since May 5, 1921.
Heretofore, these reports have covered a two-year period, but a
recent act of the Legislature prescribes the report shall be made as
of June 3'0th. In view of the fact, however, that the State's Prison
is extensively engaged in farming, and it being practically impossible
to estimate growing crops, which would be necessary to make a com-plete
financial report as of June 30th, I am taking the liberty of
submitting herewith supplemental report from July 1, 1922, to Decem-ber
1, 1922.
The population of the State's Prison on November 30, 1920, was
'753, and of the Dangerous Insane Department, 60, making a total
of 813 persons under the care and supervision of this institution.
As will be shown in tables, elsewhere with this report, the popu-lation
of the State's Prison on June 30, 1922, was 997, and of the
Dangerous Insane Department 67, a total of 1,064 persons, an in-crease
in nineteen months of more than 30%.
FINANCE
The audited reports of Mr. C. N". Goodno, C. P. A., are published
•elsewhere in this report and are self-explanatory. The schedules pre-sented
by Mr. Goodno show itemized receipts and expenditures.
I also submit herewith statement of current assets and liabilities as
