If you think that the
cost to house prisoners is cheap, think again my brothers! When I tell you that the cost of keeping some six thousand-two hundred prisoners in these convict prisons as of ten
years ago, was nearly two hundred thousand pounds. And that in the last year the cost of maintaining some eight thousand two hundred prisoners was upwards of three hundred and twenty-three
thousand pounds, you will easily comprehend that the conveniences and comforts of the inmates are
undergoing no diminution as these establishments grow older. Why, that's nearly forty pounds a head! What shall we do to end this
debauchery coming to us?
