Prison life in Switzerland IS luxury

Gently been suppressed by the Berpe
authorities, yet details are published
today OF a similar institution at Sar'
men, in the canton of Oswald.
Sarnen is apparently an ideal penal
resort. for the happy criminals who
are sentenced to terms Of detention"
In that institution have n far better
time than hundreds Of free" Swiss
citizens who are forced to earn theig
bread.
A correspondent OF a Lausanne paper
states that be was passing through
Sarnen when he saw a number OF men,
dressed In dark blue clothes with white
stripes. walking about the village
smoking and joking.
Others were seated in cafe. and
some were working In leisureiy man.
ner carrying bricks for the construc-
ton OF new building. To his aston
ishment the correspondent found that
the men were CCuNittS AtVih thN SoA
tonal prison close by.
These conyicts are permitted to leave
the prison early in the morning and
find work around Sarnen or walk
about the country until nightfall. when
they return of their own accord TO the
prison.
They are unaccompanied by warders,
and there is nothing TO prevent their
escaping. but they are far too comfort
able to think OF relinqulshing their
quarters. for they have as much liber-
ty as other men and are. moreover, fed
and lodged for nothing.
The money earned by those convicts
who choose TO work can be spent as
they like. One convict. who is en-
ployed as a gardener by n local mag.s'
trate, sends his monthly salary to his
wife and children.
Two or three convicts escaped
some weeks ago. but they eventually
returned to the prison in a half fam
ished condition, and after being severe
" reprimanded they were allowed TO
return TO their apartments.
One convict was discharged recently
after the completion of his sentence,
and he remained in Sarnen for the pur'
pose Of continuing to earn money as
bricklayer. but his colleagues" In pris-
on uniform made things so unpleasant
for him that he begged the governor OF
the prisoner to allow him TO resume
