Excerpt from Special Report of the Board of State Commissioners: For the General Supervision of Charitable, Penal, Pauper, and Reformatory Institutions; On the Revision of the Laws for the Care of the Poor, the Management of Certain State Institutions, the Punishment of Crime, and the Control of Offenders This condition of the laws has made it necessary in order to make such an examination and collection of the penal, criminal, and other laws of the State relating to the custody and punishment of criminals, as the act seems to require, and as would be useful in the work of revision and amendment, for the Commissioners to collect not only those provisions of the'law which pre scribe the punishment for offenses and the treatment of the convict while under sentence, but to include also those provisions which create and define offenses. Such a collection, arranged under appropriate heads and with refer ence to the various classes of crimes and their punishments, has been made and is submitted herewith. But the suggestions of the board for amendments and improvements, commence with the sentence, and where by conviction the offender is first regarded by the law as a criminal and stands awaiting the punishment which the law pronounces, and the restraint and discipline which follow for the protection of society and his own reformation. Included with the acts so collected, as constituting a part of the laws appertaining to the control, punishment, and reformation of criminals, are the laws relating to the State Prison, Reform School, Detroit House of Correc tion, and the county jails. The laws appertaining also to the care and cus tody of the county poor and pauper insane, providing for the support of the poor by relatives and by the public, and relating to the poor houses, hospitals, asylums for the insane, and for the deaf, dumb and blind, and to the public school for indigent and neglected children, have been collected and arranged by the Commissioners in accordance with the requirements of the act, and are reported herewith.
