Washington, July 22, 1983.
have the honor to transmit herewith a re­
port giving the results of a survey of the extent and character of
prison labor in the United States in 1932. This survey was in con­
tinuation of the series of surveys of the subject of prison labor made
by the Bureau at intervals of 9 or 10 years since 1885. The 1932
survey was considerably broader in scope than the earlier ones, city
and county jails being included as well as Federal and State prisons.
The information contained in the current report is of particular
timeliness in view of the added interest in prison labor at the present
time, as a result of the fact that the so-called Hawes-Cooper Act,
which divests prison-made goods of interstate character, becomes
effective in 1934.
Respectfully submitted.

PRISON LABOR IN THE UNITED STATES, 1932
Summary
Surveys of the extent and character of prison labor in the
United States have been made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
at intervals of about 9 or 10 years since 1885. The latest survey,
dealing with conditions in the year 1932, was conducted along lines
similar to those of previous surveys, but was extended in scope to
cover not only Federal and State prisons but also city and county
jails. It was found, however, that while the city and county jails
were important as regards numbers of prisoners, they were of minor
importance as producers of commodities. For this reason, the
present report deals primarilv with Federal and State institutions.
The principal findings of the 1932 survey are, briefly, as follows:
Federal and State Prisons
Number of prisons and 'prisoners.— In 1932 there were in the United
States 12 Federal prisons and 114 strictly State prisons. In addition,
1 county prison (the New Castle County Workhouse, Delaware) and
1 city prison (the Detroit House of Correction) have keen included in
this report under State prisons, as, by arrangement with their respec­
tive States, the 2 institutions house State prisoners.
In these 12 Federal and 116 State prisons there were confined
during the year 1932, 158,947 persons, as against 84,761 in 1923.1
This represents an increase of 87 percent during the 9-year period, as
against an increase of only about 12 percent in the general population.
Prisoners employed at productive work.— The number of prisoners
employed at productive work of various kinds increased from 51,799
in 1923 to 82,276 in 1932, but the proportion of total prisoners pro­
ductively employed continued the decline which had begun many
years ago. Thus, while in 1885, 75 percent of all prispners were em­
ployed at productive work, by 1895 this had declined to 72 percent,
by 1923 to 61 percent, and by 1932 to 52 percent, or barely one half
of the prisoners confined.
The fact that such a large proportion of the prisoners were not
engaged in productive labor does not necessarily mean, of course, that
they were not kept at work Most of them (52,986, or 33 percent of the
i The year of the Bureau’s latest previous study (Bui. No, 372). For other reports of the Bureau on
this subject, see Second Annual Report of Commissioner of Labor (1885); Bui. No. 5 of Department of
Labor (1896); Twentieth Annual Beport of Commissioner of Labor (1905); and S.Doc. No. 494,63d Cong.,
2d sess., 1914.

total in 1932) were engaged in various prison duties. The remainder
were reported as either sick (6,658, or 4 percent of the total) or as
idle (17,027, or 11 percent of the total).
Character of productive work.— The productive work of the prisoners
in the Federal and State prisons is carried on under several systems.
Of particular interest is the distinction between the so-called State-use
system, under which all the products are used in public institutions and
none are sold in the general market, and those other systems in which
prison products are offered for sale and thus come into competition,
more or less, with the products of “ free” industry and labor.
The 1932 survey showed a continued increase in the State-use
system, at the expense of the other systems. Thus, in 1905, only 26
percent of all productive labor in Federal and State prisons was under
the State-use system; in 1914 this percentage had grown to 33 and
in 1923 to 55, while in 1932 it was found that no less than 65 percent
were working under the State-use system.
The lease system, i.e., the system of leasing out convicts to private
employers at so much per head, has apparently disappeared from
practice. No instances of its use were found in either the 1923 or the
1932 survey, although in earlier surveys it was found to be quite
frequent.
Character and value of prison-labor products.— The total value of
the products resulting from the labor oi the 82,276 State and Federal
prisoners employed at productive work was approximately $75,000,000 in 1932, as against $76,000,000 in 1923. This decrease in value
was, however, purely nominal, due to the general decline in wholesale
prices. If allowance is made for this factor, it appears that the actual
output of prison-made products was considerably greater in 1932
than in 1923.
The manufacture of clothing of various kinds gave employment to
the largest number of prisoners— approximately 19,000, or 23 percent
of all prisoners productively employed. More than 22,000,000 shirts,
having a value of over $8,000,000, were thus produced during the
year 1932. Binder twine, with a total value of some $4,000,000 in
1932, was a very important item, and it is also of interest to note that
some 36,000,000 automobile license tags were made in 1932 by prison
labor.
Working conditions of prison laborers.—Of the prisoners employed
at productive labor in 1932, 1.3 percent had nominal working hours of
less than 24 per week, 55.2 percent worked 44 hours or less per week,
while 21.8 percent worked 60 hours or over per week.
Of the 116 State prisons, 66 paid money compensation to all or
part of the inmates, 48 paid no compensation of any kind, and 2 allowed
credit on the sentences for prisoners doing certain classes of work.
Of the 12 Federal institutions, 7 paid wages to prisoners for work
done, and 5 did not. In most of the institutions the pay was nominal,
generally ranging from 2 cents to not more than 15 cents per day,
although in a few prisons the scales were considerably higher.
County and City Jails
The Bureau’s survey of county and city prisons covered all of the 92
cities of more than 100,000 population and 2,721 (or 88.6 percent) of
the 3,072 counties in the United States,




STATE AND FEDERAL PRISONS

In the 2,721 county jails 44,014 prisoners were confined in 1932.
Of this number, 70.4 percent were engaged in ordinary prison duties or
were sick or idle; 18.8 percent were engaged in road work; 5.4 percent
in farm and dairy work; and 5.4 percent in other productive work.
The city jails surveyed housed 11,446 prisoners. Of this number,
68.2 percent were engaged at ordinary prison duties or were sick or
idle; 5.3 percent were on road work; 7.9 percent at farm and dairy
work; and 18.6 percent at other productive work.
The great majority of the county and city jails were either not en­
gaged in manufacturing activities or were producing on a very limited
scale; no effort was made, therefore, to secure detailed data on this
point from all such institutions. In the case of 13 city and county
jails, however, manufacturing was being carried on on such an exten­
sive scale that special inquiry was made regarding the character and
value of the products. The total value of all products made in 12
of these prisons during the year was $567,619, of which 86.7 percent
was to be sold and 13.3 percent to be used by various public institu­
tions. The principal products were brushes, brooms, and wire goods.
Selection of Work for Prisoners
There is general agreement that regular work is beneficial to pris­
oners. There is, however, strong opposition to the sale of prisonmade goods in the open market, on the ground that this practice
constitutes a form of unfair competition. This opposition led, in
1929, to the passage of the so-called Hawes-Cooper Act, which
divests prison-made goods of interstate character and thus enables
a State to prohibit within its borders the sale of prison-made goods
from other States. This act becomes effective in 1934. It was the
general opinion of the prison officials who expressed themselves in the
matter that this act would probably result, in most States, in the
restriction of prison labor exclusively to the State-use system.

State and Federal Prisons
The survey covered 116 State and 12 Federal institutions. Of the
116 State institutions, the data for 74 covered the year ending June
30, 1932; for 10, the year ending September 30, 1932; for 9, the year
ending December 31, 1931; for 9, the year ending December 31, 1932;
for 5, the year ending November 30, 1931; for 5, the year ending May
31, 1932; for 2, the year ending November 30, 1932; for 1, the period
from the opening of the institution on January 4, 1932, to December
22, 1932; and for 1, the year ending January 31, 1933. Of the 12
Federal prisons, data were reported for 11 institutions for the year end­
ing June 30, 1932, and for 1 for the year ending November 30, 1932.
In the main the information was obtained by agents of the Bureau
from the records of the institutions, but as regards goods produced
under the contract and piece-price system data were also obtained
from the records of the contractor manufacturing the goods. Excellent
cooperation was received by the Bureau from the officials of all Federal
and State institutions and representatives of all firms having contracts.
In these 128 Federal and State institutions, 82,276 prisoners were
engaged in productive labor, and the value of their products was
$75,369,471. This number does not include prisoners assigned to




4

ordinary prison duties— that is, such duties as cooking and washing
for prisoners, cleaning cells, etc.
The value of goods as reported includes an indefinite amount of
duplication. For example, corn is reported under farm products.
Part of this com is fed to the hogs, and the value of the hogs is also
shown in the tables. Under the accounting system in effect in most
of these institutions it was impossible to prevent this duplication.
All goods in State and Federal institutions were produced under one
or more of the five following systems: Contract, piece-price, Stateaccount, State-use, public works and ways. No prisoners were found
working under the lease system. Following are the definitions of the
several systems.
Contract system.— Under this system an outside contractor contracts
with the institution for the labor of the prisoners at a stipulated
amount per capita per day. The State assumes no risk of loss, as the
contractor furnishes his own raw materials and generally provides his
own foremen, inspectors, machinery, and tools. The institution,
however, houses, feeds, clothes, and guards the prisoners, and some­
times supervises their work.
Piece-price system.— This system is nearly the same as the contract
system, the only' difference being that under the piece-price system
the contractor, mstead of paying a stated amount per day, contracts
with the institution for the labor of the prisoners at an agreed price
per unit of output. The contractor generally furnishes the machinery
and tools, and also provides for the supervision and inspection of the
prisoners while working.
State-account system.—Under this system the institution carries on
the productive enterprise and disposes of the product on the general
market and in competition with the goods produced by free labor.
The institution assumes all the business risks. If the business is one
of manufacturing, the institution buys the raw material and sells the
finished product in the same way as would be done by any manufac­
turing concern, except that it may retain part of the product for use
in the prison. Thus, in the manufacture of shirts, part of the garments
are used by the inmates of the institution and the remainder are sold
in the open market under the State-account plan. The goods may be
sold to individual customers or to a contractor who takes the entire
output. Such a contractor must not be confused, however, with the
contractor who hires work done by the prisoners. The institution
under this system houses, feeds, clothes, and guards the prisoners,
and directs and supervises their work.
In the past the State-account system often has been designated as
the “ public account” system.
State-use system.— Under this system, also, the institution carries on
the business of production; use or sale of the goods produced is, how­
ever, limited to the institution in which they were produced or to other
State or Federal institutions. Such other State institutions may be
under the control of the same or other States or of any of their sub­
divisions. The purpose of this restricted-sale principle is, of course,
to make the prison product available to public institutions while
avoiding direct competition with free-labor products. Under the
State-use plan the institutions also house, feed, clothe, guard, direct,
and supervise the prisoners.




5

STATE AND FEDERAL PRISONS

Public works and ways system.— This system is the same in effect as
the State-use system, the only difference being the character of the
thing produced. The public works and ways system applies not to
consumption goods, but to the construction and repair of prison build­
ings, other public buildings, roads, parks, and bridges, and to the
work of flood control, reforestation, clearing land, etc.
Lease system.— No prisoners were found working under the lease
system in 1923 or in 1932, and it seems to have entirely disappeared
from both State and Federal prisons. Under the lease system the
State enters into a contract with the lessee, who agrees to receive the
prisoners, paying the State a specific amount per man per day; gen­
erally also he feeds, clothes, houses, and guards the prisoners while
employed. The State reserves the right to make rules for the care of
the prisoners and to inspect their quarters and place of work.
Proportion of Inmates Employed at Productive Labor
The Bureau of Labor Statistics previous to the 1932 study had
made surveys of prison labor covering the years 1885, 1895, 1905,
1914, and 1923.
Table 1 shows the percent the prisoners employed at productive
labor formed of all prisoners, and, of the prisoners working at pro­
ductive labor, the percent employed under the different systems in
each specified year.

The table shows the growing use of the State-use system as com­
pared with the contract, piece-price, and State account systems. In
1905 only 26 percent of the prisoners were employed at productive
labor under the two State-use systems (State-use and public works and
ways). The other 74 percent were working under the four State-account
systems (State-account, piece-price, contract, and lease). In the 1914
survey the proportion of prisoners working under the State-use sys­
tems had risen to 33 and in 1923 to 55 percent. In 1932, 65 percent
of all prisoners engaged in productive labor were working under the
State-use systems, as compared with 35 working under the Stateaccount systems.
Goods produced under the State-use and under the public works and
ways systems are both in effect State-use systems, in that such goods
do not enter public competition. Goods produced under the State

account system, the contract system, the piece-price system, and the
lease system all enter into competition with free labor, and in that
sense all are State-account systems.
There has been a marked decrease in the number of prisoners em­
ployed at productive labor. In 1885, 75 percent of all prisoners
incarcerated in Federal and State institutions were working at
productive labor. By 1932, however, the proportion had fallen to
52 percent.

2 Year covered ends as follows: State institutions—for 74, June 30,1932; for 10, Sept. 30,1932; for 9, Dec. 31,
1931; for 9, Dec. 31,1932; for 5, Nov. 30,1931; for 5, May 31,1932; for 2, Nov. 30,1932; for 1, Jan. 31,1933; and
for 1, period from Jan. 4, 1932, to Dec. 22, 1932. Federal institutions—for 11, June 30, 1932; and for 1, Nov.
30, 1932.

In 1923, in the 104 State and Federal institutions surveyed, there
were 51,799 prisoners employed at productive labor. The value of
their products was $76,096,960.
In 1932, in the 128 State and Federal institutions in which the study
was made, 82,276 prisoners were employed at productive labor, and
the value of their products was $75,369,471.
It should be borne in mind that the purchasing power of the dollar
was much higher in 1932 than in 1923—in other words, that prices
were much lower in 1932 than in 1923. If, therefore, the 1932 value
were adjusted in accordance with the purchasing power of the dollar
in 1923, as shown by the Bureau of Labor Statistics index number of
wholesale prices, the value of the 1932 product would be $111,169,969.
The value of the goods produced under the State-use system rose
from 18.1 percent o f the total in 1923 to 28.2 percent in 1932. An
increased proportion of the value of the goods produced under the
public works and ways system was also shown in 1932. The pro­
portion produced under the State-account, piece-price, and contract
systems, however, was smaller in 1932 than in 1923.

The 1923 survey showed that there were 48,336 prisoners engaged
at productive labor in State institutions, and the value of the goods
produced by these prisoners was $73,668,879. The 1932 survey shows
77,267 prisoners producing goods valued at $71,306,061.
In 1923 more prisoners in State institutions were worldng at farm,
garden, and dairy work than any other class of production, although
clothing manufacture was not far behind. These two classes of work

PRISON LABOR IN UNITED STATES, 1932

occupied 11,858 and 10,656 prisoners, respectively, in that year. In
1932 the production of clothing engaged the largest number of pris­
oners— 19,030—while 17,992 were in farm, garden, and dairy work.
In 1923 the value of the clothing manufactured was greater than that
of any other product, while in 1932 construction work held first place
as regards value.
A number of products showed a much higher dollar value in 1932
than in 1923. Among these were agricultural implements, construc­
tion work, farm, garden and dairy products, highway markers, metal
products, and printing and binding. Other products showed a de­
cided decrease in dollar value, comparing 1932 with 1923. Among
the commodities of this class were brooms, brushes, and mops, cloth­
ing, coal mining, furniture and furnishings, and lumber and timber
products.
Federal prisons in 1923 had 3,463 prisoners engaged at produc­
tive labor, and the value of the goods produced for that year was
$2,428,081. In 1932 there were 5,009 prisoners in Federal penal
institutions, producing goods valued at $4,063,410. Textiles and
textile products accounted for the largest dollar valuation of any
class of goods produced in the Federal prisons in both 1923 and 1932.
Large increases in dollar value were shown from 1923 to 1932 in the
production of clothing, construction work, and farm, garden, and
dairy products. Repair and shop work and textiles and textile
products were the only classes of work showing a lower dollar value
m 1932 than in 1923.
Table 4 shows, by States, the number of prisoners and the value of
prison products in 1932, as compared with 1923, in State and Federal
institutions.

In 1923 there were 84,761 prisoners incarcerated in State and Federal
institutions, as compared with 158,947 in 1932. From 1923 to 1932,
there was an increase in number of prisoners confined in State and
Federal institutions in every State in the Union. The number engaged
at productive labor, however, showed decreases in Arkansas, Colorado,
Georgia, Maine, Montana, and Utah. New York had the largest
number of prisoners confined in 1932, but Illinois had the largest
number engaged in productive labor. The largest proportion of pris­
oners engaged in productive labor occurred in Texas. In that State
over 80 percent of the prisoners confined in 1932 were engaged in
producing goods.
The dollar value of the goods produced by prison labor in Alabama
during 1932 was greater than the dollar value of goods produced in
the State penal institutions in any other State during that year.
Work Distribution of Prisoners
Table 5 shows the number of prisoners confined in both Federal
and State penal institutions in 1932, the average number employed
at productive labor, engaged in ordinary prison duties, sick, and idle,
during that year, and the number of prisoners at productive labor
under each system, by States.

STATE AND FEDERAL PRISONS

Of the prisoners confined in State and Federal penal institutions,
51.8 percent were employed at productive labor; 33.3 percent were
engaged in prison duties; 4.2 percent were sick; and 10.7 percent were
idle. The percentage employed at productive labor differed greatly
in Federal and State institutions. In the State prisons as a whole,
53.1 percent were employed at productive labor, while in Federal
prisons only 37 percent were so engaged. In contrast, 31.6 percent of
the prisoners in State institutions, as against 51.9 percent of the
Federal prisoners, were employed at ordinary prison duties. The
percentage of idle in State institutions was over twice that in Federal
institutions.
Of the prisoners in Federal and State institutions engaged at pro­
ductive labor, 42.4 percent were working under the State-use system,
22.7 percent under the public works and ways system, 18.5 percent
under the State-account system, 11 percent under the piece-price
system, and 5.3 percent under the contract system.
A number of States, among them California, Illinois, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, have no prisoners working under
either of the contract systems. In other States, on the other hand,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, and Connecticut, the majority of
the work is done under the two contract systems; that is, either pieceprice or per capita contract.

* Less than one tenth of 1 percent.

Of the 82,276 prisoners employed at productive labor in State and
Federal institutions, 1.3 percent had nominal working hours of less
than 24 per week, and 55.2 percent, hours of 44 or less per week; while
32.3 percent had working hours in excess of 48 per week. More of the
prisoners working over 48 hours per week were engaged at farm,
garden, and dairy labor, than at any other class of work. It must be
borne in mind tnat these are only nominal working hours; that is,
the number of hours the prisoners spent in the factory workrooms. In
a number of cases, however, there was not enough work to keep
prisoners busy the whole work period.
There is a notable contrast in the hours of labor in the different
States. For example, in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Missis­
sippi, all the prisoners worked 60 hours per week, and in North
Carolina, 1,817 of the 1,834 prisoners worked 60 hours per week. In
contrast, in Illinois, 4,168 of the 4,577 prison inmates worked less
than 36 hours per week. In California, 2,413 of the 4,394 prisoners
worked less than 36 hours per week, and in New York, 3,163 of a total
of 4,321 worked less than 40 hours per week.




STATE AND FEDERAL PRISONS

In Federal institutions no prisoners had nominal working hours of as
much as 60 hours per week and none were reported as working less
than 36 hours per week.
Kind and Value of Articles Produced
Table 7 shows the kind, quantity, and value of articles produced
in State and Federal institutions under each of the systems in practice.
The total value of all goods produced in State penal institutions was
$71,306,061. Of this amount more than $24,000,000 was produced
under the public works and ways system; over $18,000,000 under the
State-use system; over $10,500,000 under the piece-price system;
and over $6,000,000 under the contract system.
New road building accounted for nearly two thirds of the total value
produced under the public works and ways system.
Automobile license tags accounted for the largest valuation of any
class of goods produced under the State-use system. The value of the
more than 36,000,000 automobile license tags produced was nearly
$2,300,000. Miscellaneous farm products produced under this
svstem accounted for a valuation of over $2,000,000. The pants,
shoes, miscellaneous printing, and milk, produced under the Stateuse system, each accounted for a valuation of between $500,000 and
$1,000,000.

Under the State-account system more than 63,000,000 pounds of
binder twine was produced, having a value of over $4,000,000. This
is nearly one third of the total value of all goods produced under the
State-account system. Other commodities produced on a large scale
under this system were over $1,000,000 worth of shirts, nearly
$1,000,000 worth of raw cotton, and over $800,000 worth of pants.
Shirts were the largest item produced under the piece-price system,
accounting for over $5,000,000 of the total of $10,500,000 valuation.
Nearly $2,500,000 worth of pants and nearly $900,000 worth of under­
wear were also produced under this system.
Shirts held first place in value of goods produced under the contract
system, followed in order by pants, chairs, brooms, and hosiery.
More than 22,000,000 shirts, valued at over $8,000,000 were pro­
duced under all systems combined. The valuation of shirts is
higher than that of any other article manufactured. The only work
performed by prisoners having a higher valuation is road building.
In Federal prisons practically all goods produced were under either
the State-use or public works and ways system. Shoes and duck and
canvas were the only classes of goods produced under the State-use
system in Federal institutions having a valuation of over $500,000.
New buildings accounted for nearly $700,000 of the $1,100,000
valuation shown under the public works and ways system. The
values shown under public works and ways system mclude the value
of the material whether or not fabricated by the prisoners; thus, the
total value of a building erected by prisoners is given, even though
bricks and stones were purchased on the outside. In some cases,
road-repair work includes labor only. Only slightly over $55,000
worth of goods were produced under the State-account system in
Federal institutions. These goods were sold either to employees of
the institution, or, in the case of Army and Navy prisons, to officers
and enlisted men of the Service. No goods were produced under
either the piece-price or contract systems.

The total value of construction under the public works and ways
svstem in Federal and State institutions during the period covered by
tliis study was $25,159,152, and 18,697 prisoners were engaged in this
work. Road work was the largest item under this system, the value
thereof, both new and repairs, being over $15,000,000. The value
of new buildings erected was over $7,000,000, that of alterations and
installations nearly $900,000, and that of other construction nearly
$760,000.
In Georgia, nearly $5,000,000 worth of road work was done by the
prisoners in State institutions. The value of road work done by
prisoners in several other States—Alabama, California, Florida, Vir­
ginia, and West Virginia—reached over $1,000,000.
The value of new buildings erected in Pennsylvania was greater than
in any other State, being over $1,000,000. In Illinois, the next
highest State, the new buildings erected were valued at nearly
$900,000.

Compensation to Prisoners
The Bureau endeavored to obtain information concerning amounts
paid to prisoners in all State and Federal institutions. It was impos­
sible to tabulate the information obtained, as many States made pay­
ments on various bases in the same institution.
Of the 116 State institutions, 66 paid money compensation to all
or part of the inmates, 48 paid no compensation of any kind, and 2
allowed time credit on the sentence for prisoners doing certain classes
of work, this being in addition to time off for good behavior. Seven
of the 12 Federal institutions paid wages to prisoners and 5 did not.
In most of the institutions the pay was merely nominal, generally
ranging from 2 to 15 cents per day.
State Prisons

addition, prisoners employed in the cotton mills were paid extra*
when they worked overtime, the regular hours of work being 10 per

daily set task; for example, if a prisoner’s task was 500 dozens per
day, and he completed 1,100 dozens in a day, he received a bonus
o f $ 1 ?°*

General Table
Table A shows the kind, quantity, and value of articles manu­
factured in each of the 116 State penal institutions and 12 Federal
penal institutions, by system under which produced.
Most articles produced in any quantity are shown separately in
this table. It would be impossible, however, due to lack of space,
to show all classes of articles separately. In cases, therefore, where
small amounts were produced, the articles of different classes are
grouped under the heading “ Miscellaneous.” For example, under
“ Farm, garden, and dairy” products, cattle, corn, hay, hogs, wheat,
etc., are shown separately. Other farm, garden, and dairy products
which are produced in smaller quantities, such as beans, beets, rye,
oats, etc., are grouped under “ Miscellaneous farm” products.
An index of products in State and Federal prisons, showing both
the main heading and the subheading under which articles are included
in the tables is shown on pages 198 to 204.

County and City Jails
In October 1932 at about the same time that agents were sent to
Federal and State penal institutions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
mailed questionnaires to each of the 3,072 counties in the United
States, and to each of the 92 cities having a population of 100,000 or
over, asking for information concerning prison labor in county and
city jails.
Reports were received from 2,721, or 88.6 percent, of the total
number of counties in the United States. The counties reporting
contain 93.2 percent of the total population of the United States.
Replies were received from all counties in the States of California,
Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, North
Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wyom­
ing. The questionnaire asked for data as of the time of receipt of
the form. Many counties reported as of October 1932, others for
dates in November and December 1932, and still others for January
or February 1933.

It should be borne in mind that the figures shown in the tables
herein refer to prisoners actually sentenced. Persons detained in jail,
awaiting trial or for other reasons, were not included in the present
study.
“ Ordinary prison duties” include cooking, cleaning, and care of
jail buildings and yards and usually provide little more than a nominal
job for the inmates. In this group have also been classified the idle,
sick, and invalid inmates.
The 2,721 reporting counties had a total prison population of 44,014.
Of these prisoners, 30,968, or 70.4 percent, were engaged in ordinary

prison duties, or were sick or idle; 8,260, or 18.8 percent, were engaged
m road work; 2,395, or 5.4 percent, were engaged in farm, garden, or
dairy work; 2,391, or 5.4 percent, were engaged in other work, con­
sisting for the most part of manufacturing articles either for use in
the prison or for sale.
The type of work performed by the prisoners varies greatly in the
different States. In a number of the Southern States, notably Ala­
bama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Tennessee, the majority of prisoners were engaged in road work.
Some States employed no prisoners on any work except ordinary
prison duties. This was true in Arizona, Delaware, Maryland, M on­
tana, New Mexico, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming. The States where­
in city and county prisoners engaged extensively in manufacturing
were Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, and
Wisconsin.
Table 15 shows the number of prisoners under sentence in city jails
in cities of the United States having a population of 100,000 or over,
by cities and by type of labor performed by the inmates.

COUNTY AND CITY JAILS

Of the 92 cities having a population of 100,000 or over, 39 (noted in
table 15) have no city jails in which to confine prisoners sentenced for
any crimes. In these cities the jails are used simply as detention
quarters, and the prisoners, after being sentenced, are incarcerated in
the county jail.
In the 53 cities which confine sentenced prisoners in city jails,
11,446 prisoners were confined. Of these prisoners, 7,806, or 68.2 per­
cent, worked at ordinary prison duties or were sick or idle; 608, or 5.3
percent worked at road work; 907, or 7.9 percent, at farm, garden, and
dairy work; and 2,125, or 18.6 percent, at other work, mostly manu­
facturing.
In 31 of these cities prisoners did no work other than ordinary
prison duties; 6 of the cities employed prisoners on road work; 11
employed prisoners in farm, garden, and dairy work; and 14 used
prisoners for manufacturing articles.
Reports from 13 county and city institutions indicated that articles
were being manufactured, on an extensive scale. An additional form
therefore was sent to these institutions asking for detailed information
and replies were received from 12. Table 16 presents these data.

The total value of articles manufactured in these institutions was
$567,619.20, of which $491,893.04, or 86.7 percent, was to be sold
and $75,726.16, or 13.3 percent, was to be used by various State
institutions.
The county and city institutions engaged in manufacturing were
located for the most part in the New England States and New York.
There was 1 institution, however, in Maryland, 1 in Ohio, 1 in Penn­
sylvania, 1 in Tennessee, and 1 in Wisconsin.
There was a daily average of 1,080 prisoners engaged in the making
of the articles enumerated. This is 21.1 percent of the total number
of inmates in these 12 institutions. Brushes, brooms, and wire goods
accounted for the greater proportion of the value of the articles manu­
factured. Chairs accounted for the next greatest value. While the
value of the goods sold accounted for the larger proportion of the
total value of the goods produced, many of the institutions made all
goods either for their institutions or for other institutions in the State.

Arguments and Opinions For and Against Prison Labor
In addition to compiling information concerning prison labor from
the records of the institutions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics ob­
tained from prison wardens and other interested parties statements
of their opinions concerning conditions of employment in the various




ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST PRISON LABOR

209

penal institutions, and also opinions for and against the different
systems now in vogue in both Federal and State penal institutions.
Arguments Presented by American Prison Association and Osborne
Association, Inc.
The following extract from the pamphlet, Fundamental Questions
Concerning Prison Labor, published by the American Prison Associa­
tion and the Osborne Association, Inc., presents arguments for and
against the different systems of prison labor.
What are some of the arguments for and against the lease system?
In favor: (1) It is the easiest way to solve the prison employment problem.
(2) The State is under no expense to house, feed, and clothe its prisoners.
Against: (1) It is peonage; permits the exploitation of the prisoner; is usually
conducted cruelly and does absolutely nothing to reform or
improve the prisoner.
(2) This system has been officially repudiated by all States.
What are some of the arguments for and against the contract labor system?
In favor: (1) It makes possible the steady and efficient employment of the
prisoners without placing any additional burden or risk upon
the State.
(2) It affords some opportunities for vocational training and teaches
the prisoner to work under modern competitive conditions.
(3) In theory, the system presents a method of sound competition,
efficient management, and the highest financial return to the
State and to the prisoner.
Against: (1) The system permits the exploitation of the prisoner for the private
profit of a contractor. Since the contractor is allowed to exact
a “ task” and enforce it, it encourages sweatshop conditions and
has sometimes resulted in brutalities.
(2) Concentrating the efforts of prisoners on 1 or 2 types of work,
largely the kinds which do not require much skill, places the
burden of prison competition on a few industries. The use of
cheap convict labor enables the contractor to dump his output
upon the open market, thus depressing the working conditions,
wages, and standards of free labor and private industry.
What are some of the arguments for and against the public-account system?
In favor: (1) The State keeps all disciplinary problems in its own hands, sets the
daily work task, and there can be no complaint that greedy
private interests use slave-driving methods or that the prisoner
is exploited.
(2) It provides opportunity for vocational training under the guidance
of State officers, makes practical the diversification of the output
of prison industries, and makes possible prison employment
under normal industrial conditions.
Against: (1) It places upon the State most difficult practical problems connected
with the operation of industries. It requires a large amount of
capital and opens the door to possible graft and inefficiency.
(2) Selling the products of the prison industries in the open market is
most difficult and involves tremendous overhead, unless the goods
are dumped on the market at distress prices, thus depressing the
market.
(3) The tendency is to concentrate in 1 or 2 main lines of work.
What axe some of the arguments for and against the State-use system?
In favor: (1) The principal argument in favor of this system is that it eliminates
direct competition of prison-made goods with the products of
free labor, since none of the goods are sold on the open market.
(2) The proponents of State use declare that it forces diversification of
prison industries, thus broadening the opportunities for voca­
tional training.
(3) The welfare of the prisoners remains in the hands of the State
authorities.
(4) It makes possible some return from the labor of the prisoner, over
and above the operation costs.




210

PRISON LABOR IN UNITED STATES, 1932

Against: (1) The requirements of the State do not provide a sufficient market for
the labor of prisoners, and idleness and inefficiency result.
(2) Competition under the State-use system is not eliminated; rather it
intensifies and concentrates the competition with certain types
of industries which have specialized in meeting the needs of the
State.
(3) More harm can be done by competing with some of the relatively
small industries which specialize on filling the requirements of
the State than can be done if the prisoners are employed in a
large Nation-wide industry and goods sold in the open market.
(4) The opponents of State use declare that it makes diversification of
industries difficult, reduces the possibility of vocational training,
and results in idleness.
(5) It is difficult to adminster because of the necessity of meeting the
varied needs and standards of State institutions and agencies.
The experience of some of the States indicates that it is imprac­
tical unless the law requires every tax-supported institution and
agency, including the counties and municipalities, to procure
their needs from the prisons.

Attitude of Organized Labor
Organized labor has repeatedly stated that it favors employment
of convicts, but it has always fought the sale of prison-made goods
in the open market because it believes it depresses the wage standards
and working conditions of free labor. The following excerpt from a
letter of Mr. Samuel Gompers, former president of the American
Federation of Labor, on the subject of prison labor, describes the
attitude of organized labor:
* * * The organized labor movement has been in accord with the position
that men, or rather human beings, deprived of their choice of action and of their
liberty must not be kept in absolute idleness. In addition to the fact that it is
natural for a man to work, work is also civilizing and developing and educational.
All persons must have work of some kind. The only question is what kind of
work. The only question that has developed in connection with convicts is
what kind of work shall they do and under what conditions shall that work be
performed in order that the convicts may get the greatest advantage out of the
work and at the same time that there shall be no injury done to free workers
through the products of prison labor.
What the organized labor movement has concerned itself with has been the
nature of the work done by convicts and safeguards to prevent the products of
their labor from coming in competition with the products of free labor and in
that way undermining the standards and conditions of work which the free
workers have established themselves. This position of the American Federation
of Labor has been repeatedly endorsed.

This policy has never been modified by the American Federation
of Labor.
Statements of Prison Officials
Practically all officials of Federal and State penal institutions fur­
nished the bureau with written opinions concerning labor problems
in their institutions. The prison officials and practically all outside
persons and organizations interested have agreed that it is necessary
to keep prisoners employed. One prison official states: “ Idleness
among prisoners is universally acknowledged to be degenerating both
morally and physically. It encourages degeneracy, breeds contempt
for society, and complicates discipline within the prison. Work is an
essential part of the theory of punishment. Work is curative and an
essential factor in the rehabilitation of a prisoner. The maintaining
of a penal institution imposes a heavy burden on the taxpayer, and
work for prisoners reduces this burden.”



211

ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST PRISON LABOR

While practically all authorities have agreed that it is better for
the prisoners to work, there is a vast disagreement as to the kind of
work that the prisoners should do. In fact, there are many reasons
for opposition to prison labor. Among these are the dumping of
prison-made goods on the open market, regardless of the effect upon
normal industry; the exploitation of prison labor for private profit;
and in some institutions the concentration of prison labor on a few
items, with the result that skilled labor has been forced out of employ­
ment in those branches. The competition of prison labor seems to be
felt by manufacturers and free labor mostly in times of business
depression and wide-spread unemployment. At such times the atten­
tion of the public is focused disproportionately on what is labeled
“ unfair competition. ” There is also a general prejudice against the
Federal Government or a State government engaging in any kind of
business.
Mr. Sanford Bates, Director of Bureau of Prisons of the United
States Department of Justice, has in the following letter stated in
brief the attitude of the Federal prison officials towards the subject
of prison labor.
M ay

Mr.

C h a r le s

E.

B a ld w in ,

24, 1933.

,,

Acting Commissioner of Labor Statistics U.S. Department of Labor
Washington D.C.
D e a r S i r : Y o u ask in your letter of April 10, 1933, for a statement concerning
the prison labor situation. Broadly speaking, the prisons of the country seem
to me to be no nearer a solution of the employment problem than they were in
1923, when your last monograph on convict labor was published. I think that I
cannot be successfully contradicted when I say that today there is more idleness
in most of the prisons of the country than ever, those private manufacturers
affected are more vociferous and uncompromising in their attitude than hereto­
fore, labor is still unsatisfied, and the public remains uninformed and indifferent.
Anyone who is familiar with the prisons of this country realizes that they are
afflicted with two fundamental evils—overcrowding and idleness. The former
of these can be overcome through the comparatively simple process of building
new institutions but the latter difficulty is the most baffling and perplexing of
almost any social problem with which I am familiar. No one condones idleness
among prisoners because everyone recognizes that its effects are degenerating
both morally and physically. It complicates discipline, encourages degeneracy,
and breeds contempt for society. There are also strong economic arguments
for employing the prisoner, since he should be required to earn the cost of his
maintenance and not be dawdling in prison at the expense of the taxpayer. If
the prisoner is to be rehabilitated it is essential that he be provided with construc­
tive work which is necessary for physical and mental health, for occupational
training, for the development of habits of industry, and to prevent deterioration.
When men have been crowded into an institution with no means of occupying
their hands and minds, depravity, bloodshed, and riots have been the natural
result. The butchery of the guards at Canon City, Colo., the holocaust at
Columbus, Ohio, the fires at Joliet, 111., have all had lack of employment as a
major contributing cause, according to the official statement of those in charge
of these institutions. Where is there a man who will accept responsibility for the
safekeeping of four or five thousand men caged up within the small compass of a
prison with no means of occupying them?
In spite, however, of what to the general public seem to be compelling reasons
for the employment of prisoners, there are still certain groups who bitterly con­
test even the least encroachment upon what they deem to be their domain.
Some of these groups will accept no compromise and will not be satisfied so long
as there is even the remotest competition with their particular industry. It
may as well be frankly admitted that prisoners cannot be employed in any form,
in any manner, or under any system which does not compete directly or indirectly
with private industry and all of those who are familiar with the situation recog­
nize this essential fact. Very few, however, who seek a subsidy for their particular
group through elimination of prison competition will argue that prisoners cannot
be employed and instead of making direct attacks upon prison labor in any form




212

PRISON LABOR IN UNITED STATES, 1932

they suavely advocate various so-called compromises. One day they say that
they will be satisfied if the contract labor system is eliminated; the next they
ask only that the sale of prison-made goods in the open market be stopped and
then they seek to limit the sale of prison industries to penal, charitable, and cor­
rectional institutions. To an already complicated problem has been added the
difficulties caused by the enactment of the Federal Hawes-Cooper legislation,
the economic crisis, and the changing industrial set-up. The drive against
prison employment is ceaseless and unrelenting.
So far as the Federal Government is concerned we think that our program is
fair to labor, fair to business and protects the public interest. The Federal Govvernment does not lsase or contract out the labor of convicts. It dees not sell a
single dollar’s worth of its products in the open market. It does not intend to
concentrate the labor of its prisoners in any one type of work or in any single
industry. It uses its prisoners on those types of activities which require the
greatest possible amounts of hand labor and adopts primitive production methods
wherever possible. The largest number of Federal prisoners are engaged in agri­
cultural pursuits as more than 2,000 of the total prison population of 12,000 are
working on our farms in the production of foodstuffs for the institutions. An in­
definite number are performing work of various kinds on Government reserva­
tions for which no funds have been appropriated and consequently they do not
compete in even the remotest way with private labor and free industry. As your
survey will show, the total number of Federal prisoners usefully employed in
industrial operations within the walls of our institutions does not exceed 1,700
or 1,800 which is only about 14 percent of our total population. All of the others
are engaged on maintenance tasks or are in idleness.
You see, therefore, that unemployment conditions in our institutions are acute.
This situation subsists in spite of the many compromises made by the Federal
Government to private industry and free labor as indicated above and which have
for their purpose the elimination of direct competition. Another reason for the
existing situation springs from the fact that Congress has not permitted us to go
forward with our diversified work program enjoined upon us by the act approved
May 27, 1930. The present economic crisis, furthermore, has caused us to defer
our industrial program wherever there was any means whatever of employing the
inmates of our institutions in noncompeting lines, at least until business improves.
You ask me what changes, if any, we would advocate in existing conditions.
So far as the employment program of the Federal Government is concerned, I
have only a few minor changes to suggest. One of these would be that an advisory
board be established to assist us in controlling the output of our industries to
accord with the situation prevailing in private industry. In other words, a board
consisting of representatives of labor and the manufacturers, one member repre­
senting the public, and one member representing the penal institutions, would
advise the head of the department as to the kinds of industries which might be
established in the various institutions and lay down certain principles as to the
aggregate output of each industry, thus assisting us generally to coordinate and
diversify our manufacturing operations. I can make no other suggestions as to
improving the Federal prison labor law and hope only that the industrial situa­
tion will improve to such an extent that we can go forward with our program as
now authorized.
The thought has occurred to me that a somewhat similar board might be set
up to control the industrial activities of all Federal, State and county prisons. If
the bills which have been recently introduced in the Congress to control the length
of the work week in private industry are held constitutional and if various other
measures which are being advocated to cure the economic distress of the country
are practicable and feasible for private industry, some similar legislation might
be enacted by the Federal Government to regulate the activities of prisoners.
The so-called Hawes-Cooper Bill does not do this as it merely divests prisonmade goods of their interstate character and permits each State to legislate on
this subject. Instead of the Federal Government washing its hands of this
problem it might be a wise policy for it to recognize its seriousness and attempt
to regulate and control it. If this plan were feasible an agency of the central
Government could allocate to each State a certain number of industries in which
its prisoners could be employed and determine the relative output which the
prison products should bear to the entire output of that particular industry. It
could also regulate the hours of labor and working conditions for each prison
industry, and prepare a plan for disposing of the prison products. All goods made
in prisons which did not comply with the regulations of the board or commission
would be barred from interstate commerce.

I
hope that you will not think that I have gone too far afield in answering
your letter of April 10, 1933, but the prisonlabor problem is of such magnitude
and has so many ramifications that I cannot well comply with your request in a
small compass. If I can be of any further help or assistance, please do not hesitate
to call upon me.
Very truly yours,

# Some of the comments by State prison officials concerning condi­
tions in their institutions were as follows:
All convicts are assigned to tasks at which they are most skilled. Plans are
now being formed to devise methods of employment of prisoners when the HawesCooper bill goes into effect, January 19, 1934.
The employment of the honor system in prisons or penitentiaries is the best
method of training convicts to be better citizens when they are discharged.
Under this system the convicts have greater ease of mind and upon release, with
few exceptions, do not hold a grudge against the institution and its officials. They
have respect for laws and the law-enforcing officers, rather than holding them in
disdain. Contract and lease work is objectionable as it gives a few manufacturers
an advantage in products made for less than they can be made by free labor,
thus hurting the market of the free-labor-made goods, curtailing its sales, and
spreading unemployment among the free workers. Contract and lease work is
also bad in its effect upon the convicts as it falls practically in the same category
as working under armed guards.
Institutional industry needs the stimulus of outside orders to operate it at any­
thing like full capacity.
I
think there is a grave misunderstanding of the general principles of prison
labor. A pair of shoes made in prison supplants only one pair of shoes made
with free labor, no matter where worn, either in or outside the institution.
Unfortunately it has been found that the market is so restricted under the Stateuse system that the opportunity for employment of prisoners is very much limited.
Work is the salvation of men sentenced to prison. Enforced idleness is a
severe punishment and destroys the very object for which men are sentenced,
namely, reformation.
The employment of all inmates physically able to work is required by the law
creating this institution. It is also necessary for the morale of the inmates that
they have suitable employment. This is a problem that gives us deep concern.
We operate a clothing shop from which goods are shipped to various States, and
feel that the passage of the Hawes-Cooper bill will eventually cause the closing
of this shop, which employs about 250 men.
The industries in this institution have been given years of study and have been
so planned as to interfere as little as possible with legitimate business. While
basic laws pertaining to the disposal of our surplus would have permitted the
sale of our prison-made products on the open market, I am naturally proud that
we have never had to resort to this, in spite of the fact that our recent population
increases have kept all of us exceptionally busy-trying to expand our ways and
means to provide the necessary amount of work to keep all hands engaged without
overrunning the reasonable bounds of our necessarily limited output.
It seems to me that the opportunity to labor is just as necessary and desirous
inside the prison walls as outside. There may be some difference of opinion as to
the nature of that work, the industry that is created, but of this I am certain that
it should be constructive. There is nothing so revolting as to be forced to do
something where nothing is to be gained. One of the biggest factors in making
criminals is the lack of an opportunity to do constructive work that appeals and
interests the individual. The greatest benefit both to society and the individual
himself is that that person can and is given the opportunity or is induced to accept
the opportunity to become interested in and learn to like and appreciate the value
of industry.
We are now employing about 500 men on piece-price working for the---------------shirt company. It is our opinion that when the Hawes-Cooper bill goes into
effect, that these 500 men will be idle. It seems impossible to establish enough
industries under the State-use plan to take care of our prison population.




214

PKISON LABOR IN UNITED STATES, 1932

The State-use system is good as far as it goes, yet in my judgment the Stateuse system cannot keep the rather large prison population of the various com­
monwealths busy the year round. We are diversifying our industries to the
greatest possible extent, thereby spreading the competition that we furnish over
a number of lines and not concentrating our competition on any 1 or 2 particular
industries. The idea seems to prevail that because we do not pay taxes, salaries
or rent, that we should be able, or are able, to undersell all competitors. In reply
to this I can only say that it has been my experience over a period of years that
we have a difficult time meeting competition ourselves. I account for this in
this way. For the most part the men in our penitentiaries and reformatories
are unskilled and untrained, and in many cases incompetent and indifferent,
and we must take these men, who are the last men employed and the first men
discharged out in the industrial life of the State, and make out of them what we
can in the way of mechanics, train them as best we can to turn out a commodity
that has a real market value and which is on a par with the competition we have
to meet. As business men we are not price cutters. We want to make a reason­
ably good showing industrially as in every other way for our institutions, yet
we find that factories manufacturing similar commodities generally have the
latest improved labor-saving devices and machinery and skilled and trained
workers; men who are interested in their jobs and sometimes stockholders in the
concern that employs them, and as a rule we have an exceedingly difficult time
to meet the competition.
The matter of employment in institutions where women are confined is a matter
of vital importance as a matter of education, as a means of discipline, and of
maintaining order and good conduct in the institution. The object of the
reformatory, to fit them to return to the communities from which they came,
better able to live decently and respectably among their neighbors, and to main­
tain themselves and their families, can only be accomplished by training and
teaching in performance of useful work under efficient women whose character and
personality will be examples for them to follow.
Due to the Hawes-Cooper bill our unemployment has been increasing for the
last 3 years and will continue to do so until the end of the present calendar year,
at which time all contracts will probably have gone out of this institution. We
are now making plans for manufacturing articles for State use, but at the present
time we do not see where we will be able to employ more than 100 men on this
work, out of a population of 1,300. It will be one of our major problems in the
future to find employment for inmates.
We have been able to employ our prisoners with practically no idleness for a
comparatively long time. The going into effect of the so-called Hawes-Cooper
bill and the subsequent legislation under this act will not seriously disturb our
labor situation and I feel that we will have no difficulty in keeping the inmates
employed after 1934 when this change will take place.
A variety of articles are manufactured in every department of our institution.
There is no question, therefore, of the reformatory flooding the market with its
own deluge of sheets, hoisery, shirts, etc. This state of affairs is useful to us also
as a therapeutic service. One of the techniques of social treatment for delin­
quents is, I should say, to give them a variety of educational glimpses of industry.
There is little educational value in learning to run one type of knitting machine,
and that only. If a woman can be trained to run a variety of machines, to use
her hands at sewing, painting, canning, etc., she feels more confident and more
understanding when she presents herself, on release, at her prospective employer’s
door.
We would like to enter an opinion that the employment of inmates in our penal
institutions in shopwork is very important and very necessary to the proper con­
duct of any penal institution. It is essential that this kind of training should be
given the prisoners for their own welfare and the welfare of the communities when
they are released, and we believe it is economical to the State that it should have
the prisoners do all the work that can be found for them to do not only in mainte­
nance work for their own institution but for the maintenance accounts of all
other State institutions. After a great many years’ experience and investigation,
we also believe that working under the State-use system has proven the most
beneficial to the State with the least harm to any outside labor.
It is my firm opinion and belief that the State should acquire a sufficient
quantity of land to establish a farm. The increase in population very clearly




ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST PRISON LABOR

215

indicates that it will be necessary to find useful employment for the inmates.
Some means should be devised, as stated above, of securing at least 3,000 acres of
land under some irrigation project to give the men useful employment.
In my opinion, prison labor should be carried on a great deal more extensively
than it is at the present time a t--------------- . We have today 250 inmates who
are idle, and, of course, they make a very restless group. Later on, when we get
our woodworking factory going, we will probably be able to put the greater
number of these men to work. I consider the inmates of a penal institution like
young boys in the street. As long as you can keep the boy busy at work or at
play he is going to keep out of mischief, and the same applies to inmates of a
prison. I would like to see the day come when we can pay inmates in a prison
a fair day’s wages, and that money to be applied to the care of their dependents,
who are usually taken care of by charity organizations. The taxpayer has to pay
the bill anyhow, so why not make the convicts earn some of the money which
can go towards their support.
Prison industry from the viewpoint of the warden is not a source of exploitation
of the inmate, but rather an incentive toward his rehabilitation. Too often the
point is raised by the free man that he is being deprived of a certain amount of
work that is being done by those confined. This is not the case when one con­
siders the fact that automatic machines are not used in prison and that the in­
mates’ product is about 5 percent of that of the free men. It must also be borne
in mind that if it were not for the prison industries the men would be idle and
confined to their cells throughout the day which would destroy their morale and
whatever latent ambition they might have.
Idleness in prison has been proved detrimental to the moral, mental, and
physical welfare of the inmates and places discipline and good administration
under a considerable handicap. All men confined to prisons and penitentiaries
should be put to work in the interest of their own welfare as well as that of the
State. The primary purpose of such work is to create habits of industry, to teach
each man that he is expected to perform his given task every working day in
accordance with essentially the same standards employed in that trade or work
outside. All such work should be of a constructive or useful type. Insofar as
possible, prisoners should be employed in a trade or productive line similar to
that which they pursued before entering the institution, so that with modern
machinery production methods and supervision he can continue to perfect himself
in his trade. However, with the flexible arrangement possible in --------------- it
is not necessary for a man to continue in the same line of work during the entire
term of his incarceration, which arrangement is very valuable in enabling men to
make changes from one line of work to another, thereby giving each man an
opportunity to find that class of work in which he is really interested and in which
he can, with reasonable encouragement, develop himself to the point where upon
his release he will find a wholesome field for employment at good compensation.
Imprisonment may punish, it may deter, but unless it has played its part in the
upbuilding of the offender, it is not worth the money spent. I cannot believe
that reformation and rehabilitation are possible without work, hard work if nec­
essary. I cannot think of a better medicine to administer to the wife deserter,
the robber, the stick-up man, the burglar, the forger, and others of like character,
than a good stiff dose of hard work administered daily and over a reasonable
period of time. The question is where to find work? The purely State-use sys­
tem is now being advocated by the opponents of prison labor, but when we get
right down to brass tacks, they oppose even that plan. Two years ago in
--------------- it was proposed to build a State office building. The granite was to
be quarried and cut by inmates of the State reformatory. The leader in the
labor movement in this State approved that plan and was forced to fight it out
to a finish in the national convention of his group. He put up a good fight. He
finally won out, and the building was completed as originally planned. This is
just a single illustration of the attitude of those who see in prison labor nothing
except its interference with their own particular business. It further demon­
strates the fact that if we are to keep our prisoners employed, we must fight for
that right. No matter what we propose, we shall find that it competes with
some group in civil life. It then remains for us, so far as possible, to select those
occupations that constitute the least competition with outside labor. Many
States have partially solved this problem by employing large groups of prisoners
at road work and on farms. And yet I wonder what our Southern States will do
with their cotton after January 1934. I wonder how--------------- will label each
potato raised on its thousands of acres of prison farms, provided any of these




216

PRISON LABOR IN UNITED STATES, 1932

potatoes are to enter out-of-State markets. And I want to say it is not at
all impossible that, in the very near future, even the farm operations of our
prisons will be very much limited by legislative action.
The farm at this prison affords considerable work, but farming cannot take
care of all prisoners as there are some that cannot be trusted to be placed on the
farms. The shirt factory under contract affords work for most of the prisoners
at this prison at present, but with the enforcement of the Hawes-Cooper bill this
industry will probably close and these men will be without employment. Due
to the sparse settlement of this State, the establishment of industries to furnish
products to State institutions under the State-use plan only would not be prac­
tical as the initial cost of installing such prison industries would be too great in
the first place and then the amount of goods that the State institutions would
use would employ but a few of the prisoners. With such conditions existing it is
difficult to outline any plan to employ the prisoners at this institution when and
if the shirt factory is discontinued.
The general point of view of the wardens or the heads of penal institutions,
whatever may be their titles, is that it is in itself a crime to restrain men in idle­
ness. Who is committing this crime? Is it the judge who continues to commit
men to institutions already overcrowded and with hundreds in idleness, or is it
the law which is in error? An army of intelligent men is at work seeking to reform
prisoners and yet little has been heard of reforming the legal profession, the
judiciary and the legislators. Undoubtedly some progress is being made, at
least more people are thinking the situation over than formerly. The present
prison population of the United States is so great that those who are able to work
can put out far more than can be used by the total estimated classes of public
charges. There is no coordinated effort to regulate and distribute this output.
My own conclusion in this matter is that the head of each institution is making
no further effort than that which tends to relieve his own particular problem, and
further that the ultimate solution, if one is humanly possible, lies in reducing the
number of prisoners. I believe that about 60 percent of those now confined
throughout the United States can be released without danger to society, the
other 40 percent might just as well never be released because of the positive
certainty that they will soon again be recommitted, and with this last 40 percent,
all humanitarian feeling being considered, it makes little or no difference how
they are employed so long as they are required to labor sufficiently to pay for
their maintenance and upkeep.
