American Sketches: Prison Life in Blackwell's Island, New York - outdoor work, 1876. 'The outdoor employments assigned to most of the male convicts, who number above five hundred, are quarrying and stone-cutting, building a sea-wall, grading, road-making, and other earthworks, also planting and gardening. The stone-quarries, however, seem now at Blackwell's Island to be nearly exhausted; and it has, therefore, been thought fit, as well as for the sake of a greater distance from the city, to remove this establishment to Hart's Island, sixteen miles from New York'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
