PRISONERS TO DO HARD? LABOR.
Senator Macarthur of Bottineau has
introduced two bills in the senate pro-
viding that the county commissioners in
counties and city councils or town
boards shall provide hard labor for pris-
oners confined in jails Several of the
district judges of the state have on sew
eral occasions sentenced prisoners to the
county jail at hard labor 1.,sg
Men are often confined for six and
eight or even more months in the coun-
ty Jails, and If they are allowed to re-
main idle it is little wonder that at
tenpts at escape are often made,
There is no reason why the county
should not get some return for the
money that it spends in the support Of
such prisoners
