REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF PRISONS.

Presented to both Souses of ihe General Assembly by Command of Sis Excellency.

The Inspector of Prisons to the Hon. the Minister of Justice. Sir, — Office of Inspector of Prisons, Wellington, Ist May, 1883. I have the honour to report, for your information, that I have visited the different prisons in the colony during the twelve months ending the 31st December last, on the dates stated in the annexed return marked L, and have generally found them clean and in good order, the prisoners healthy, and the sanitary arrangements properly attended to. 2. I regret to state that I have been unable to visit many of the smaller police gaols, owing to their isolated positions, and the difficulties in getting to them; but I have devoted greater attention to those larger prisons to which I considered my frequent visits more necessary than to the smaller ones where prisoners are seldom confined. 3. The conduct of the prisoners generally has been good, and there are no really serious prison offences to report, with the exception of a threatened emeute at Lyttelton, which occurred soon after and in connection with the introduction of the classification scheme, referred to in paragraph 17 of my last report; but, owing to the prompt action taken by the Visiting Justices, it was immediately quelled with very little punishment. 4. During the past year there have been 262 punishments inflicted for prison offences, including 21 cases of additional imprisonment—viz., at Dunedin, 12; Invercargill, 6; Lyttelton, 2; and Wellington Terrace, 1. This compares favourably with the previous year, when there were 341 prison punishments inflicted, including 21 cases of additional imprisonment—viz., at Dunedin 20, and Auckland 1. A detailed statement of the punishments and additional sentences for prison offences for the past year will be found in Returns marked M and N, respectively, appended. 5. Six escapes occurred during the year —viz., three male prisoners from Wanganui, and one from Auckland; one female prisoner from Addington, and one from Wellington Terrace. All were recaptured. 6. There has been very little sickness, as will be seen from Return marked B. One case of typhoid fever occurred in Auckland Prison, but it did not prove fatal, and there was no further spread of the disease. 7. There has been no case of suicide in the prisons during the year. 8. The supplies of rations, fuel, clothing, necessaries, and medical comforts have been good, and no complaints have been made regarding any of these articles. 9. During the year two prisoners have been executed, both Maoris —viz., one at Auckland, and the other at New Plymouth —and in both instances the sentences were reported to have been properly carried out. The same hangman was employed at both executions. 10. Divine service has been held at the various prisons every Sunday, and on Christmas Day and Good Friday, as directed by the regulations, and has generally been conducted by clergymen. Lay-readers and lady visitors have attended at many of the prisons, and have done much good by reading to and advising prisoners. 11. During the year fourteen deaths have occurred in prisons, exclusive of executions—viz., twelve male and two female prisoners. In every instance a Coroner's inquest was held, and a verdict of " Death from natural causes " returned. 12. All complaints or requests made by prisoners to me have been duly investigated and attended, to, and their petitions invariably submitted to His Excellency for his consideration. 13. The progressive-stage system of classification, including a gratuity scale, stated in my last report as then on trial at Lyttelton Prison, having been found to work satisfactorily, has been introduced into all the prisons of the colony; and though, in consequence of the condition of many of the existing buildings, the classification cannot be carried out in its entirety, still a uniform system of visits to prisoners and of correspondence with them has been esta-

Wished, which, for obvious reasons, is much more desirable than the former diversified and uncertain local regulations on these matters. The classification scheme appears to be appreciated by the better class of prisoners, and I cannot learn that even the ill-conditioned ones have much to say against it. 14. Prisoners sentenced to penal servitude have during the year been transferred from the smaller or second-class prisons to the larger ones, thereby preventing their contaminating influence affecting short-sentenced and incidental offenders, and making more distinction between penal-servitude and hard-labour sentences. 15. I regret to have to report that, at my visits of inspection to the larger prisons during the past year, I have from time to time found many boys and youths undergoing sentences, and deem it my duty to respectfully point out, in reference to the treatment of these juvenile offenders, that in my opinion much requires to be done in the direction of establishing a sound reformatory system which shall have the effect of preventing the growth of adult criminals. 16. In my last report (paragraph 14) a brief reference was made to this important question, and my ideas, then expressed as to the propriety and necessity of establishing a reformatory on the lines of the Philanthropic Society's Farm School at Red Hill, in the County of Surrey, for the reclamation of criminal and other boys, remain unaltered. I would again urge the formation of such an institution in this colony, believing the advantages in saving young offenders or waifs and strays from a future of crime, and at the same time freeing the colony from a large part of its evil influences, would be undoubtedly great, while such an institution from a financial point of view could be made self-supporting, or nearly so, after once being fairly set on foot, and placed in working order. 17. The plan I would suggest is that the Government set apart a sufficient area of land (partly flax-bearing), situated between two rivers, to render escape difficult if not impossible. This estate should then be divided into several sections as circumstances may require. On each section should be a fiax-mill, and buildings sufficient to accommodate from forty to fifty boys, a schoolmaster, and the requisite staff. 18. The boys should in the first instance be employed in cutting the raw phormium and transforming it into flax and tow. So soon as the flax is cut down the usual process of clearing, draining, and stocking would follow. l>y means of detached schools and dormitories, placed on different parts of the farm, the convicted and unconvicted boys would be kept entirely apart, except on rare occasions, such as assembling at chapel on Sundays; but even then they would be kept immediately under the eyes of their respective masters. 19. The buildings need not be of an elaborate or imposing character, and I would specially recommend that there be nothing suggestive of a prison about them, except the necessary means of seclusion by way of punishment for ill-conditioned boys. The daily routine should be so divided as to devote a certain number of hours to educational purposes and the remainder to agricultural labour. The boys would thus lie instructed, trained, and enabled to take their places amongst productive colonial labourers as soon as they have arrived at the years of discretion. 20. It is considered, as I have said, that a reformatory of this kind should not have the aspect or condition of a prison; and the accuracy of this view, in dealing with this class of offenders, appears to be borne out by the experiences of the Philanthropic Society's establishment, already referred to. In a sketch of the principles and working of this society, the following statement is made : "The system of management and discipline is made as kind, persuasive, and intelligent as possible, the great object being to interest the boy himself in the business of his reformation, and induce him to improve and regulate himself for his own interest's sake." 21. The other alternative appears to me to be the adoption of training ships ; but I think there cannot be two opinions about the question from the labour-market point of view as to which of the two classes, agricultural labourers or sailors, are most required in the colony, especially as sailing ships are annually becoming fewer in the world's mercantile marine. However, should such ships be considered more advantageous than the farm scheme, I would suggest the establishment of one in connection with Timaru Prison. That gaol has now few prisoners, and there is ample room on the reserve for building dormitories, &c, if deemed desirable; and when the breakwater is a little further advanced towards completion, the training ship would always have a safe anchorage, easy of access from the prison. As regards female criminal children, I believe an institution which would train them for domestic servants, seamstresses, dressmakers, dairymaids, and such like, is the only practicable one. 22. The prison officers have, as a rule, given satisfaction generally, but many do not sufficiently study the characters of those of whom they have charge. This is especially observable in their plans of awarding marks for labour. To every prisoner with upwards of a three months' sentence is assigned (as you are aware) the task of earning a number of marks, on which his or her remission depends ; but many officers are in the habit of awarding the marks for the actual quantity of work done, irrespective of physical capacity, instead of for the amount of exertion expended by the prisoner in performing it, and, ip working their men, are too apt to expect the actual results for labour to be the same.in the case of two prisoners working side by side, the one perhaps before conviction having beeiv'eVigaged in purely sedentary employment, while the other had all his life been accustomed to hard outdoor manual labour. Again, in my prison experience I have rarely, if ever, met with any prisoner, however bad and desperate he may be, who has not in his disposition some redeeming point on which his better feelings can bo appealed to for good to some extent; but, to

3

H.—7

do this successfully, the prisoners' general natures and dispositions must be carefully studied, instead of placing them all, as a matter of course, on one common level, and governed by some hard-and-fast rules based on the system of " Give a dog a bad name/ &c. 23. On my reporting that a serious irregularity had come to my notice in connection with the Dunedin Prison, and finding that an assistant warder had been drunk on night duty and suspended in consequence, but relieved from suspension without a report having been made to the Visiting Justices, and allowed to resume duty without punishment, you were pleased to order an inquiry into the matter, which was accordingly held (I regret to say, privately) by Mr. Carew, R.M., as a Visiting Justice. The charges were fully proved; but, as a Royal Commission is to be shortly held to inquire into the management of this prison for the past few years, I refrain from making further comment. 24. From Return marked I it will be seen that there have been thirty-six offences committed by officers during the past year, as against twenty-four for the previous twelve months; but this may be accounted for by the fact of the number of officers being increased in consequence of the opening of another prison, and also that stricter discipline has been enforced generally. 25. The candidates selected for appointments in the subordinate ranks during the year have generally given satisfaction, and there is now a long list of names registered for appointments, the most suitable as to character, physique, and intelligence being selected as vacancies occur. 26. The system introduced into the English convict prisons, some four years ago, on the recommendation of the Penal Servitude Commission, of having official visitors (not necessarily Justices of the Peace) for each prison, is working well, and might, I believe, be introduced with beneficial results in this colony. The duties of these gentlemen are to visit the prison from time to time as they may find it expedient, and to make inquiry as to the state of the prisoners and the discipline and condition of the prison, but to abstain from giving any order or interfering with the administration of the prison, and to communicate any complaints or irregularities that may come under their notice at once direct to the Secretary of State. 27. The daily average number of prisoners in the larger prisons, as will be seen by Return marked B, was 6679, as against 72603 in 1881, viz., 571P5 males and 98-4 females, at a gross annual cost of £51 10s. 7d. per prisoner, made tip as follows, viz.: Staff, &c, £34 os. 6d.; rations, &c, £15 12s. 3d.; and incidentals, £1 17s. lOd.: but, deducting the sum of £4,558 155., received for labour, road-metal, &c, the .net cost per prisoner is reduced to •644 14s. Id. This increase on the previous year is to be accounted for by the fact that the new of salaries to officers, voted in 1881, did not come into effect till October of that year. I believe a considerable saving might be made by reducing the Nelson and Timara Prisons to Principal Warders' charges, the number of detentions in these two prisons now being so small. 28. Those who administer prisons are exposed to two opposing lines of criticism: one party contending that the treatment in prison is harsh, tyrannical, and injurious to the health and well-being of the inmates; and the other, that the prisoners are too comfortable, and obtain so many of what are termed luxuries that prisons fail to deter from crime, even if they do not tend to promote it. But the good physical condition of those who have spent and are spending a great part of their lives in the prisons of the colony totally disproves the former; and the decrease in the percentage of convictions for serious offences in proportion to the population offers, I think, a reasonable contradiction to the latter supposition. I have, &c., A. Hume, Captain, The Hon. the Minister of Justice. Inspector of Prisons.
