Extensive improvements at the United States penitentiary in this city will begin within a few weeks. A $200000 appropriation for the federal prison, recommended by the attorney general, is advanced in the urgent deficiency bill, expediting funds and speeding work through Congress. Warden Mayer expresses strong optimism as foundations for the main building are prepared and plans await detailed specifications. The project includes a 400 foot by 400 foot main cell block with 840 cells for 1680 inmates, a new chapel, an isolation ward, and a basement workshop for contagious disease housing, with convicts performing most labor. The total cost is estimated near 1.2 million dollars, with ongoing wall construction and eventual expansion to 2400 prisoners. The prison reservation is expected to bustle soon after the appropriation becomes effective.
