The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 47

Manitoba Penitentiary

Manitoba Penitentiary

there were 19 prisoners, of whom three were female lunatics; 54 days remission of sentence was earned The value of labour is estimated at $1,790, and the expenditure $21,750. The school class was very successful, and the Chaplains give favorable reports. As a proof of the excellence of the Canadian prison system, the Inspector instances the very moderate percentage of re-commitals, 14 percent. The number of Convicts upon whom mild treatment and kindness are lost, is comparatively small, and the system of allowing them to "earn remission" has proved always most beneficial.
