The steward’s office is in charge of Mr. T. W. Alexander, a man who has
had at least twenty‐five years’ experience in institutional work, well
qualified to fill the position of chief steward of the prison. All
supplies are ordered for the prison through this department and upon
receipt are carefully checked to ascertain if they comply with
specifications.
Supplies are issued from this departemnt on the 5th, 15th and 25th of each
month, the heads of the several departments making out requisitions
therefor, countersigned by the warden. Prison supplies are purchased
quarterly through the State Board of Control. Whenever any articles are
issued to a department duplicate vouchers are made out, one retained by
the steward and the other signed by the recipient and forwarded to the
State Board of Control.
The chief steward has charge of the officers’ quarters and the
administration building, and sees that they are kept clean and in proper
order. He is responsible for all the property under his charge.
