Messrs. Kirkley, of the Adjutant-General's Office, and Tasker, of the War Department, continue to render zealous and most valuable assistance to the work under my charge. In so doing they perform much extra labor, for which, in my judgment, they should receive extra compensation.

REPORT ON MILITARY PRISON, FORT LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS.

REPORT

ON

MILITARY PRISON, FORT LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS.

GOVERNOR'S OFFICE,

UNITED STATES MILITARY PRISON,
Fort Leavenworth, Kans., July 21, 1881.

To the ADJUTANT-GENERAL, UNITED STATES ARMY,

Washington, D. C. :

(Through headquarters Department of the Missouri, Fort Leavenworth, Kans.)

SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith annual reports of the quartermaster, surgeon, and chaplain connected with the prison for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1881. I also inclose a tabular statement of labor performed, prisoners received, discharged, &c.

During the past year improvements have been made in and near the prison as exhibited by the following details:

Cottage quarters No. 6, three rooms, each 16 by 16 feet, one story, frame. South extension of shop building, first and second story, 24 by 46 feet, brick, and slate roof. A stable connected with the quarters for quartermaster's clerks, 16 by 36 feet, one and one-half story, frame.

An addition of one room, 12 by 16 feet, to quarters occupied by the prison farmer. There was also built 1,620 lineal feet of board fence around cottage quarters; and nearly two miles of fencing inclosing the prison farm, and which was destroyed by high water, was rebuilt of old material.

An additional set of cottage quarters, No. 7, of four rooms, each 16 by 16 feet, was erected, and is nearly completed.

A new floor of hard pine was laid on the first floor of prison building No. 2, dimensions 37 by 97 feet.

There has been built 186 feet of prison wall, completing the girth of the prison, making a total of 2,022 feet; 381 feet of coping has been laid thereon.

Work in the shops has progressed very favorably, the only difficulty experienced being in the first quarter, owing to the failure of the Quarterimaster's Department to furnish stock in time for the manufacture of boots and shoes, which caused a loss of 23 days' labor in that department.

During the year there have been manufactured 34,163 pairs of boots, b. s.; 25,944 pairs of shoes, b. s.; 4,356 corn brooms; 1,656 barrack chairs; 110 chair arms; 110 chair rungs; 220 chair bolts; 1,623 packing boxes for boots, shoes, and harness; and 80 crates for packing chairs. Also 100 complete sets of 4-mule ambulance harness, and 75 complete sets of 6-mule Army-wagon harness.
