5. Pleasant and convenient yet perfectly secure rooms, for the confinement of witnesses, entirely separate from the other parts of the prison. 6. No apartment for the confinement of a prisoner to be below the surface of the ground. 7. An unobstructed view of the corridors, galleries and stairs from the guard room. 8. Central location for the kitchen, the chapel and all other offices. 9. Convenient means of ingress and egress. 10. Such an arrangement of plan as would secure the greatest benefit of sunshine on the exterior walls and into the corridors and rooms, and admit of the free movements of the currents of air around and throughout the building. 11. An abundant supply of water, properly distributed throughout all parts of the prison, and a suitable number of bath tubs, water closets, hoppers and sinks to promote cleanliness among the prisoners and in the prison. 12. The sink rooms so located and arranged as to prevent their contaminating the atmosphere of the prison. 13. Effectual means for warming, and a thorough system of ventilation, and means for admitting an abundant supply of fresh air and light to all parts of the building. 14. All parts of the building in which the prisoners are to be confined to be thoroughly fire proof, and to be so secure as to preclude all hope of escape therefrom. 15. Hospital rooms to be conveniently located in a quiet part of the building. 16. The residence for the Warden’s family not to be in the jail, but on the jail lot, and very convenient to the entrance to the jail. 17. Simplicity and economy, in plan and construction, so far as consistent with the other essential requirements. And finally to provide, by every possible means consistent with security, a proper degree of economy and a salutary discipline for the healthfulness, comfort and convenience of the prisoners; for while a prison is a place of confinement for criminals or persons charged with crime, and as such should be made so secure as to shut out all reasonable hope of escape, that the proper ends of justice may be met, yet humanity and indeed justice herself demands that the life and health of the prisoners shall be carefully protected, and every suitable means afforded them for repentance and moral improvement.
