Radical changes urged for Suffolk County penal institutions
In a Suffolk Superior Court grand jury special report, the House of Correction at South Boston is deemed inadequate with too small cells and insufficient guard equipment. The House of Industry needs better ventilation. The County Jail requires a north wing for women and demolition of the old entrance building for a new one with padded and sick rooms. The State Prison is well run but overstaffed with elderly guards. Recommendations urge stricter enforcement of laws on white collar crime, reform for juvenile property offenses possibly aboard a ship, and tighter control of pawnbrokers.
