     1From 1877 to 1895 the state penitentiary was leased to a contractor. The lessee paid the salaries of all prison officials and maintained the prison population, for which the state paid to lessee a per diem for each prisoner. This per diem varied from fifty-five cents per capita to forty cents. Beginning with 1895 the state annulled the lessee system and assumed entire charge of the penitentiary, leasing the convicts to various contractors, who paid the state a per diem per capita for convicts used. This per diem varied from thirty cents to sixty-two and a half cents. Since 1915 all private contracts have expired, and a law of that year provided for the employment of prisoners chiefly by the state.
     2Indicates wages earned for the institution, including a credit of $21,493.80 for labor in the new manufacturing industry. (Handcraft furniture company).
