y COUNTY INSTITUTIONS.
Report of Inspection by State Board
of Charities and Corrections.
Following is the report of the State
Board of Charities and Corrections
of inspection recently made of the
Bamberg county chain gang and the
county jail:
Report of Bamberg Co. Chaingang.
Mr. J. R. Morris, foreman. Visited !
April 4, 1918, by Assistant Secretary
Broyles. Gang camped on Hunter's
Chapel road, just outside of Bamberg,
r working the Ehrhardt road about a
mile out of town. Convicts present,
24 negro men, 1 white man, of whom
5 are trusties, the white man being a
r guard over the negro prisoners. The
average daily population on the Bamberg
gang for the past two and a half
* years has been 43, but recently the
trn-n&si have* bean consolidated be
cause the number of prisoners has
fallen far below that number.
Conditions at this camp are bad,
especially as regards sanitary matters.
We found the pit, into which
sewerage is dumped daily, located approximately
25 yards from the prisoner^'
sleeping quarters, and the slop
^ from the cooking was in an open tarW
ret in the middle of the camp. Withu
in three yards of where the cooking
r is done, a shallow pit has been dug,
and into this the dish water and
other thin slop is poured, and left
uncovered to serve as a breeding
place for flies. The barrel in which
water is hauled from the oil mill
half a mile distant was standing open,
and many tubs and basins in camp
were half full of dirty water, which
had been standing there since morn
ing, though we inspected the camp
in the afternoon. Finally, the foreman
allows three men to bathe in the
same water. On inspection of this i
gang last year pretty much the same <
conditions were found, and detailed i
recommendations were made to the j
foreman regarding proper sanitation, |<
but practically nothing has been done j:
to remedy the evils. With so little j 1
attention paid to hygienic laws on the 11
gang, the county is lucky in having j
escaped an epidemic of fever among .
the prisoners. We repeat our recom- 1
mendations in this report to both the
commissioners and the foreman. i
Recommendations to the Supervisor '
and Foreman.
Buy a stove for the camp, and provide
a shelter for cooking, eithe. a ]
good tent, a portable house or a car,
and have it screened fo keep away (
flies, hi a suitable book in the Sup
* 3 ..i?
ervisor's office. Keep a recoru 01 me
men on tne gang showing name, age,
race", date commit4?*' length ::f sentence,
date discharged, whether a
trusty or has a family, and the reason !
for discharge?that is, whether served
sentence, paid fine, escaped, etc.
Finally, obey the law whicn recuiires
one-tenth off for good behaviour
where the sentence is longer than six
months.
Recommendations to the Foreman.
Have the blankets washed regularly
once a month. Have the kitchen i
utensils cleaned thoroughly, and make
the cook keep them clean hereafter.
Keep the water barrel tightly covered
at all times. Dig the sewerage pit at
least 150 yards from the camp, and
100 yards from the water supply, and
when the buckets are emptied into it,
or when the men use it, have the
waste, covered immediately with at
least three inches of dirt. Burn this
pit out at least weekly with straw and
oil. Have the manure from the mule |
pen raked up daily, and hauled away
from camp every week. Keep the
kitchen refuse barrel covered always,
sprinkle lime around it frequently,
and do not allow the cook to pour
slops into the pit in the middle of
camp. Never allow more than one
man to use the same water in bathing.
The practice of allowing several
men to use the same water lias
been stopped by most foremen, and
should be stopped by all, since the
custom is dirty and filthy, besides
being liable to spread disease which
the prisoners may have unknown to
the foreman.

Report on Bamberg County Jail.
.Mr. Edgar Dickinson, jailer; Mrs.
Dickinson really in charge. Visited
April 4, 1918, by Assistant Secretary
Broyles. Inmates present day of inspection,
3 white males, 3 negro
males, 1 negro female child, age 13;
total 7. The average daily population
in this jail for the past two and
a half years has been approximately
2.5.
Since our last inspection, the jailer
has begun to keep' an excellent set of
" * - T1V. ?
records or tne prisoners, mo ?ucuu
should keep a duplicate of the jailer's
book and entries in his office. When
the jail was visited, it was spotlessly
clean, and from the appearance of
the premises we judge that it is kept
that way by the capable matron, Mrs.
Dickinson. On ihe section of our
report devoted to "Conditions in
Prisoner's Quarters" she secures the
highest possible score, 70 points out
a possible 70; and out of a possible
400 points awarded to "Management"
in our system of scoring she gets
360.
It is a pity that the%Commissioners
do not take the same pride in their
building that the matron takes in
running it, but we regret to say that
our recommendations to them in the
past have met little response. We
repeat those of last year, and again
j recommend that tfte Commissioners
have the walls of the jailer's resi- .
dence calcirr^ined, have the jail kitchen
painted, especially the ceiling, and
paint the inside of the jail proper,
first scraping off the whitewash now
on the walls. The planking used in
the jail is dressed lumber, and therefore
will not hold whitewash well.
We further recommend that the commissioners
pay the county physician
a salary for, and require him to, make
a physicah examination of each prisoner
committed to the jail within 12
hours, vaccinate against small-pox
when indicated, and make weekly inspection
of the prisoners' food and
quarters.
We recommend that the jailer ar?
range to give the negroes as well as
the whites clean blankets when admitted
to the jail. On account of
the negro's natural carelessness about
disease, probably it is more impartant
to take precautions with them
than with the white prisoners. Because
the little negro girl will not
profit by too much conversation with
the other prisoners, we recommend
that she be shut up in her own room
when there are other prisoners in the
jail, instead of being allowed to have
the freedom of the hall, from which
she can see into every room, and talk
to all other prisoners in the quarters.
