Excerpt from Tenth Annual Report of the Commissioners of Prisons of Massachusetts: Including Report Relative to Jails and Houses of Correction; Annual Report of the State Prison; Annual Report of the Reformatory Prison for Women; January, 1881 It will be seen from this table that there was a decrease for every quarter, as compared with the previous year, and a steady decrease for the past three years at the dates named. It will also be noticed that the heaviest reduction was in the latter part of 1880, the population on the 30th of June and 30th of September, 1880, being more than two hundred less than at the same dates in 1879. This is due mainly to the decrease in the fines for drunkenness, and the shortening of sentences for that offence. The average number of prisoners in the jails and houses of correction and Boston House of Industry for 1880, was against for the previous year, a decrease of 162.
