We read that Wisconsin is numbered among
the states as employing their prisoners at road
work. Mr.. E.. Stagg Within, representative of
the National committee on prisons and prison
labor made careful study of the road work
problem, recommended that all prisoners who could
be placed on their honor should be employed at
quarrying stone, clearing stump lands and build
ing roads The legislature acted upon Mr.. Stages
recommendation, and we find that Wisconsin has
been very successful in this new field of employ
ment for some of it's prisoners.
The states in which this road making is used
as one means of employment for the prisoner, is
all that be expected; and state after state is
slowly but surely adopting this plan. TIE officials
and road commissioners have learned that it is not
only great benefit to the state but that also it
gives the prisoner chance to prove his worthiness
of the trust imposed in him.
