Description:Excerpt from Report of the State Board of Control on Prison Labor, 1903 The legislature of the state at its last biennial session, by joint resolution number 4, resolved that the State Board of Control should experiment by inaugurating small industries in the State Prison and Reformatory, and thoroughly investigate the systems in vogue in other states, their operation and results, having in view a plan, or plans, for diversifying industries and determining how best to employ prison labor. The State Board of Control, in compliance with said joint resolution, after investigating the systems in other states, and after making such experiments as could be made under existing circumstances, hereby respectfully reports the results of such investigations and experiments. For the last two hundred years it has been almost universally recognized that it is absolutely necessary that prisoners should be employed at some form of labor. It is self-evident that to arrest a prisoner, to try and convict him, is quite an expensive proceeding all of which expense has to be borne by the state. It is also expensive to equip and maintain prisons, and to supply prisoners with the necessary subsistence. Furthermore, the prisoner, after his sentence has expired, is sent from prison well clothed, clean and healthy, with a trade well learned, and thus much better fitted to earn a living than when he entered the prison. All this enormous expense having been caused by the prisoner, it is very natural that the taxpayers of the state expect such prisoners to perform some labor so as, in part at least, to remunerate the state for the expense thus necessarily incurred. Experience has shown that when prisoners are unemployed they contract loathsome habits, disease, and many even become insane. It is a recognized face that for the comfort and good of the prisoner himself it is absolutely necessary that he should be employed while in prison at some form of labor.
