Women Criminals In Austria.

In Austria, even for murder, a WON.
an is never put into am ordinary prison,
much less brought to the gallows.
Whatever the crimes of which they are
convicted, women are sent to the con-
vents set apart for this purpose and are
kept there as long as the judge deter
mines
The ladies superior have practically
free hand over their charges and re-
ceive from the government sevenpence q
day for each criminal under their care.
At Neudorf convent, which receives all
the female offenders from Vienna, there
is nothing in the appearance of the
place to suggest prison.
The courtyard stands open all day
long, with only nun as doorkeeper.
Once inside, all the convicts are on the
same footing. They are employed in the
domestic work Of the convent, and in
making matches, buttons, needlework,
embroidery, lace, woodwork, etc., SUI
perintended only by the sisters.
For work beyond their allotted task
they are paid by scale-haf the money
being given them at the end Of the
week and half being placed to their
credit until their term expires, when it
Is paid to them on leaving 80
