Excerpt from Annual Report of the President and Directors of the Maryland Penitentiary: Made to His Excellency, Thomas Swann, Governor of Maryland, January, 1868 In accordance with the requirements of the law, the Directors of the Maryland Penitentiary have the honor to submit their annual report of the condition and operations of the State Prison for the year ending with the 30th of November, 1867. The statement of the Clerk of the Institution - marked Table D - shows that the expenses proper for the fiscal year ending with the above date, were $101,506.30, being an excess of $23,198.47, compared with those of the year ending the 30th of November, 1866. The largest items in this increase were the result of the large augmentation in the number of prisoners, the average number for the year, as shown in Table No. 1 of accompanying statistics, being 667, which is 126 greater than the average of the preceding year, and 271 more than the average of the year ending the 30th of November, 1865. This feature of itself, in view of the continued high price of every article consumed or worn by the convicts, is almost sufficient to account for the increase of the cost for maintaining the Institution.
