Tl i Texarkana detention farm is
the aewest of a series of similar
regt aal prisons being built by the
Fed* al government to alleviate the
incn singly over-crowded conditions
in 1 ederal penal institutions.
. Tl number of h ederal prisoners
hat wcently greatly increased due
to I e enactment of new Federal
crini isl legislation. At the present
time the population of the tPederal
penal and correctional institutions
is (i wring at the rate of 1,200 to
1.5m inmates a year.
Lit rother recently domstructed Fed-
eral irisons, the Texarkana prison
fans will be unwalled and will have
the test features throughout. It

Open dormitories will house 166
prisoners at the now institution, 69,
others will be in outside dells, and
164 in honor rooms. There will be
hoepital accommodations for 87.
The Bureau of Prisons filed an
application for a PWA allotment in
June, 1938. Work on the project
began scarcely a month later.
The public works Administration,
which financed the Texarkana proj-
ect, has in recent years been a high-
ly important factor in the improve-
ment of both Federal and non-Fed-
eral jails and prisons. In all, PWA
has made allotments for 126 non-
Pederal prisons and jails costing
$24,4^,700. This figure does not
include those in police buildings and
courthouses. It has also provided
$14,914,000 for 76 Federal prison
projects, including correctional in-
stitutions such as that at Texarkana
in Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky,
and Indiana. A number of the na-
tion’s most famous prisons, Sing
Sing, Auburn. Joliet, Atlanta, and
Alcatraz, have been improved as a
result of PWA grants.
