In view of these characteristics it is somewhat surprising that 
there were no attempts to escape and that there were only nine 
offenses against the order of the camp. A list of these offenders 
is given in Table 29.

The general facts that all inmates were negroes and that prac- 
tically all were from the city of Atlanta have been mentioned. 
OFFICERS: NUMBER, SALARIES, AND DUTIES. 
The county warden, as the representative of the State prison 
commission and the board of county commissioners, was in general 
charge of all camps and prisoners in the county, and it is estimated 
that about one-tenth of his attention was devoted to the experi- 
mental camp. Five officers under this official were in immediate 
control of the camp. Their positions and respective salaries were 
as follows : 
Per month 
and board. 
1 deputy warden $75 
1 camp clerk 50 
1 foreman 60 
1 foreman 40 
1 nightwatchman 40 
The deputy warden was the highest camp officer and was respon- 
sible for the conduct and discipline of the camp and the satisfactory 
prosecution of the road work. However, about three-fourths of 
his time was devoted to the supervision of the road work, and there- 
fore only one-fourth of his salary and the cost of his board have 
been reckoned in the cost of maintaining the camp.
