This is a historical report from the Joint Special Committee of the Legislature of Pennsylvania concerning contract convict labor, dated January 16, 1878. The report includes accompanying testimony and offers insights into the practices and concerns surrounding the employment of prison inmates under contract during this period. The document provides valuable primary source material for researchers and historians interested in the history of labor, prison reform, and the penal system in the United States, particularly in Pennsylvania, during the 19th century. It sheds light on the social, economic, and ethical considerations related to the use of convict labor and its impact on both the incarcerated population and the broader labor market.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
