plan combining architectural symmetry and elegance with utility, I have reason to expect may be put in readiness to accommodate the legislature by the time contemplated by law for the removal of the government to that future capital of the State.
The State's Prison at Thomaston has received a large share of the careful attention of the government, and under its general superintendence seems to be attaining a salutary condition for the economical punishment of convicts, and the gradual reform of its unhappy, because vicious occupants. That this penitentiary is capable of being improved, and its affairs conducted with more skill and econemy [economy] than heretofore is possible and perhaps probable. But when we consider that it is a recent institution, that the agents intrusted [entrusted] with its control have had but little opportunity of becoming practically acquainted with the best and most economical mode of managing its concerns, and regulating its manufactures, the results are as favorable, upon the whole as could have been reasonably anticipated. The provision for the establishment of a Sunday School, and for literary and religious instruction within the prision [prison], will it is believed be attended with salutary effects in conducing to a reformation in the character of the convicts, a subject of the first importance to be considered in every system of prison discipline. Further to promote this benevolent object, it is recommended, that the prisoners should be kept separate from each other, so far as possible, especially during the night; lest by communicating together, the old and most hardened offenders should become active instructors in crime, and the prison, instead of being a place of reform, should be converted into a seminary for teaching every kind of vice. For further information, in detail, as to the concerns of this prision [prison], I refer to the Reports of the Inspectors and Wardens which will be laid before you.
Our literary institutions are in a prosperous state and under the fostering care of the government, spreading the influence of mental and and good morals among the people. For the
