MISSOURI CONVICT
ROAD BIG SUCCESS

" Jefferson City, Mo.-After a trial of
three weeks with a gang OF convicts
employed upon the public highways OF
this county the experiment is an
nounced TO be a decided success. None
Of the conyicts refused to work, none
of them attempted to escape, and all
have been doing most satisfactory
work. Governor Hadley believes. that
the Improvement OF public highways
will enable the counties to work local
prisoners on the roads. ~
The contract system OF working con-
victs within the walls Of the peniten-
tiary must soon cease. 1t Is o pre-
sumed that all the convicts in the PEN
itentiary a be employed in the con
struction Of highways, but the large
majority Of them are young men sery-
ing their first sentence and convicted
OF the less reprehensible crimes, and
these, az a rule. are short term men.
Under the plan proposed by Governor
Hadley every convict who renders sat
isfactory work two days upon the pub
lie highway will have one day cut OF
his time. The best that any convict
q do within the p~enitentiary is to get
one-fourth OF his time Off for good be-
havior. -. ".'. E.'.
Conyicts greatly prefer the outdoor
work. 1t is more healthful. In addition.
there Is the lnducement or shortening
\ their service There are now about
1900 men In tile penitentiary. Under
the new law, 800 conyicts can be taken
every year IN employed upon the pub
lie highways under direction OF the va
rious counties. There are now more
than 100 convicts working under the
contract system. The state receives
70 cents a day for the labor OF each OF
these convicss. By the close OF the
present year nearly all OF the old o
tracts will have expired.
There will be a pretty heavy cost
entailed upon the state when the last
contractor Is out OF the prison-some-
where IN the n~eighborhood OF $500, 900,
based upon present estimates. The
state can have no direct source OF in
come from the labor OF the convicts
when the contract system ceases to
exist The counties which may employ
convlcts upon the public highway will
pay nothing for their labor. The only

cost to the counties will be their food
and shelter. The recompense to the
state will come in the shape OF inn
proved highways. -
, As an inducement to the counties 10
employ prisoners sentenced to jail upon
the highways, Governor Hadley pro-
poses to allow every prisoner worked
upon the roads one-third OF his SEN
tence Off when when he has rendered
satisfactory service for t~wo-thirds OF
his time. , ~
The recent decision of the supreme
court legalizing the formation OF spe-
cial road districts comprising eight
square miles and authorizing the resi-
dents to vote bonds for improved high
ways. has served already to greatly en-
courage the road building move. Some
70 OF these are now In existence.
Missouri has never tried the plan OF
working prisoners on the public high
ways before. Counties along the CEN
trail cross-state highway between Kan
sas City and st. Louis are watching the
experiment in this county.
