THE present penitentiary of Connecticut is situated on the margin of a beautiful cove in the town of Wetherstield, about three miles from Hartford, and is regarded as a peni- tentiary of the first order. Its location, its construction, its financial management and discipline, have won the admira- t...ion of every State in the Union. It has proved to the world that criminal punishment can be made a safeguard to society, a protection to the honest industry of the people, and alt-o a benefit to the moral and physical condition of the convicts. The prison limits comprise about one and a half acres of ground, which is enclosed by a wall of hard sandstone, 18 feet high, 3 feet thick at its base, and inclining to 1-J feet at the top. Within and adjoining this wall, are buildings of the same material, and of brick, used as the warden's apart- ment, hospital, and chapel, and for workshops and cells.
