Excerpt from A Report on Charitable and Correctional Institutions: Prepared for the Efficiency and Economy Committee, Created Under the Authority of the Forty-Eighth General Assembly For the care and maintenance of the defective, delinquent and other dependent classes and for the confinement of convicted criminals, the State of Illinois maintains twenty-five institutions, counting three that have been authorized but which have not yet been established, namely, the Alton State Hospital, the Epileptic Colony, and the Surgical Institute for Crippled Children. Administratively speaking, they fall into two classes: First, the twenty-two charitable institutions which are under the control and management of a central body known as the Board of Administration and which are subject to the visitation and inspection of the State Charities Commission, second, the two State penitentiaries at Joliet and Menard and the State reformatory at Pontiac, each of which is under the control and management of a separate board. There is also another board which has charge of the construction of a new penitentiary, a board of prison industries, a board of classification, and a board of pardons. None of the seven last named boards are under the jurisdiction of the Board of Administration or the Charities Commission. The following table contains a list of the charitable, penal and reformatory institutions of the State, with the date of their establishment, the place of location, the value of their property (1910-1912), the number of their employees, and the per capita cost of maintenance.
