Abstract
In Appendix No. 13, Tocqueville and Beaumont reproduce sections 1–9 of the Connecticut State Prison Regulations. The regulations specify the duties of the warden, deputy-warden, overseer, watchmen, and doctor. They include instructions for maintaining the prison property. Section seven includes general rules prohibiting any bribes or favors between employees and prisoners, governing the compensation for employees, prohibiting alcohol on the grounds of the establishment, limiting the use of corporal punishment to the warden, dictating that a Bible be placed in each cell, and distributing funds from visitors to the State. The regulations also include notes on obligations of the prisoners, rations, and sleep.
