Excerpt from Of the Annual Congress of the National Prison Association of the United States
The National Prison Association of the United States held its Twenty-fourth Annual Congress for the year 1895, in the city of Denver, and assembled in the Central Presbyterian Church, Saturday, September 14th, at eight o"clock P.M.
Hon. Charles D. Hayt, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Chairman of the Local Committee, called the Congress to order.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Thomas A. Uzzell, D. D.
After some well rendered music Chief Justice Hayt on behalf of the Local Committee spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: I desire to say a few words of welcome on behalf of the Local Committee. We have in Colorado the largest white prison population in proportion to the inhabitants of the state of any state in the Union and I do not know of any place where the people need advice and assistance upon matters relating to the prevention and punishment of crime more than we do in this state.
I noticed in one of the many admirable addresses delivered by the late president of the National Prison Association, the lamented Rutherford B. Hayes, that lie speaks of the apathy of the people as one of the greatest difficulties with which prison reformers have to deal; but I believe that the attention of the people of Colorado is fully aroused to the importance of the questions that will be presented here.
