Jail Prisoners Earn a Tidy Sum.

From August l, 1913, until the pres
ent date, the commitment law as ex-
ercised in Rock county has resulted in
the prisoners earning total of $751;
1855, of which amount the dependents
of the paroled persons received $780,
1851, the county 81, 210.4O and SIS, 1873. :
40 has been expended for the necessi-
ties of life for the prisoners. These
figures demonstrate the success of the
law through the efforts of Sheriff c. S.
Whipple, who has given the law a
thorough study and administration.
Considering that the paroling of the
county Jail prisoners under the commit
ment law Is but an experiment in this
state, the record made by Sheriff Whip
pie, the best in the state, is amazing.
Under the old system county Jail pris-
oners were confined to serve their
terms and as a result the families OF
the prisoners were forced to suffer to a
greater measure than the men them
selves.
