Snmtar county was represented by Senator Shep Nash and Repreaentatlfes Henry Jackson, C. L. Cuttlno and Wnyae L Clifton. W3rndbam Manning, snpemltend- ent of the state peniteentiary, waa the first speaker and he outlined the tentative program of the state prison board relative to the expan sion program. He said that the state penitentiary population was increasing yearly at the rate of 226 prisoners. Regarding ascapees, he said the state prison farm had 15 last year whereas the penltenU- ary in Colombia had but S. He said that the state penal board had for some time been considering the removal of the penitentiary from Columbia to Boykin and building a modern prison in that location. He outlined, that the present prison was built 85 years ago with two additkms added la Uie SO*#. ^ Mr. Manning went on record as looking iipon prisoners as needing rehabllatlon as well as punishment be more secure, would have better guards and would be twice as safe as the one now In operation In Columbia. When questioned by Attorney Harold Funderburk as to how far the plans for the new prison had progressed, Supt Manning declared that an architect waa to be sent to other prisons to ascertain costs and also building types.

Yon feel probably that with the added police proteq- tlon yon can prevent n great deal of these escapes and control them mnch better under one manage ment bnt I do think there are many other places In South Carolina where tikis prison eonld be pat without meeting the tfnanlmons ob jection that it has here.
