Lancaster County
Commissioners reported On This Day in 1882 that they received a check from
Eastern Penitentiary. The check was for $19.89 and was the amount that inmate
Lewis Sowers made while in prison, over what it costs to incarcerate him.
Sowers, who is from Lancaster
County , was in prison for
killing his wife the year before.
