Lt James Morris of the Phoenix Police Department oversees feeding city prisoners at the downtown jail and near South Mountain Park. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, 241655 meals cost 45940 74 dollars, averaging 19.01 cents each, with raw materials grown on city acreage. Prisoners raised black eyed peas sweet potatoes corn squash onions carrots turnips and tomatoes. two beef cattle were slaughtered and the meat traded for cheaper cuts to stretch supplies. Nonworking inmates received two meals daily while workers had three. If labor hours were valued at one dollar per hour the jail would have earned 93391 dollars in 1950 51. Prisoner labor supported by the Streets Airport and Parks departments amounted to thousands of man days. Morris says the program also aims at rehabilitation and better reintegration into the job market.
