st. Francois county has adopted
plan Of dealing with her convicIs that
might commend itself TO other counties.
At a recent sitting the County Court
ordered that all prisoners confined with
in the county Jail for oitenses and non
payment of fines be worked ON the
county roads. The Sheriff was in
s,ructed to use them when he got to.
getber as many as four, for which the
sheriff would be allowed 20 cents each
per day for Il guard. There IS class
Of men who care nothing for the dis
grace Of simple confinement, but who
would not like to be seen working on
the public roads as a county felun.
And besides, the work they could be
made do would materially assist in
caring for them. Crime Is getting too
common, and some deterrent, other
than simple confinement, should be
adopted and tried, that its commission
may be less frequent.
