The 39111 annual report of the in- spector of prisons and reformatories} was presented to the Legislature last ‘ week, the annual statistics of whichs showed 44 jails and 13 lock-ups in‘ the province with a total expenditure , of jail maintenance of $158.174 meor' ‘1‘“- 1906, against $163,268 in 1905. The} ash revenue of the jails was earned ' at Perth, Whitby and Woodstock,i amounting to $115, with an average; cost for each prisoner of 22 cents. per day in every county jail in On- ‘ tario, against 25 cents in 1905. In. 1906 there were 10,810 committed to ' jails, a decrease of 225. N otwithstand- } ing this decrease the fact remains,‘ Inspector Rogers points out, that with g “A nAMAnnZ Mrvvvvâ€" â€"" population of a little over 2,000,000 there were nearly 11,000 persons durâ€" ing the past year committed to the jails of the province. The number of 'rnsane committed during 1906 were 309, against 396 in 1905. Of those committed during the year, 3,837 were married and 6,973 single. There were but 25 per cent. who could be labelled temperate, against 26 per cent. the previous year. Less than 16 per cent. could not read or write. “It may be Safely averred,” the reâ€" port says, “that the tendencies to crime change with conditions. It is becoming more and more apparent that the old deterrent forms of pun- ishment are impotent as a factor in reformation, and that the tempera:- ment, environment and associationsoi each prisoner when studied‘help vast- ly in the work of reformation. which should be the grand policy pervading the treatment of all prisoners serving sentence.

The inspector of prisoners considers an industrial farm as an outlet of Toronto prisons would be an advan- tage and a gain to the province.
