Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Bulletin: On the Condition of the County Jails of Missouri The total population of these eighty jails on January 1, 1904, consisted of 843 prisoners, exclusive of six witnesses detained and two insane persons. Of these 843 prisoners 486 were awaiting trial, and 357 serving sentences. The relatively small proportion of those serving sentences is to be accounted for through the fact that Kansas City and St. Louis have municipal workhouses, and to these nearly all prisoners serving sentences longer than a few days are sent. If we consider the rural jails alone, the ratio between those awaiting trial and those serving sentences is reversed. Of the total number of prisoners 537 were white and 306 were colored. This makes the proportion of colored prisoners in our jails a little over 36 percent., while the colored element constitutes but 5.2 percent, of the whole population of the State. The number of female prisoners in these eighty jails was fifty-eight, of whom twenty-one were white and thirty-seven colored. The number of prisoners under eighteen years of age was forty-two, of whom twenty-two were awaiting trial and twenty serving sentences. This very small number of prisoners under eighteen is without doubt due to the operation of the Juvenile Court and Probation Law, as no prisoners under eighteen were reported in either the St. Louis or Kansas City jails. The total number of jail prisoners in Missouri, say on an average winter day, may be estimated on the basis of the returns from these eighty county jails. In addition to the thirty-two county jails not reporting, there are the jails and lock-ups of 553 incorporated cities, villages and towns, and the workhouses of Kansas City and St. Louis.
