until the expiration of five years after
the date of the certificate of indebted
ness, at which time they shall apply
the accumulated fund TO the extinguish-
ment of the loan. Any excess each year
thereafter must be applied to extinuish-
ing the loan. The loan runs until July
lst. 1919, but can be paid off as the
trustees elect after the expiration OF
five years.
Under the law the Inmates must be
so classified that the quarters for fema le |
prisoners must be separated from those
for male prisoners and prisoners of
tender years and young in crime must
be removed from older and hardened
| criminals.
The trustees are required to keep a
correct daily record of each prisoner,
showing his or nor behavior, whether
or not any OF tho regulations have been
broken and the manner in which the
work assigned has been dcne, in order
| that it may be known who is to mort
dininution of imprisonment, which is
to DO allowed in case OF good behavior,
and also a recommendation FOR restora
ton of citizenship in cases OF felony.
The regulations concerning time oil at
the expiration Of terms of Imprisonment
for good behavior are as follows: For
each month. commencing on tho day of
arrival at the prison, during, which the
prisoner has not been guilty of any
offence or violation Of rules, and hns
worked faithfully, five days shall he
deducted; after the first full year of
good behavior has been passed, the
deduction, under the same conditions,
shall DO seven days for each month {;
two years, nine days, and three years
and thereafter, 10 days.
Tho matter of employment for the
convicts has not been definitely settled
and it is not known what they will be
given to do, but one of the trustees said
this morning that by the time the
buildings are ready for occupancy
means for employing the prisoners will
= also be there. The trustees are not pre-
! pared to make any announcements on
this subject as yet, as they are still
considering what is best tn be DONE
The plans, however. provide fully for
: carrying out the provisions Of the act.
One good feature of the law is that it
= takes the county pi ison out of politics.
