PRISONERS WHO VIOLATE
RULES MUST WEAR YELLOW
Novel Method Of InnictinE Punishment
Adopted By Self-Rulc Organization
mt Sing Sing.

OSSINING. y. Y, July 19-Mcmbers
Of the Mutual Welfare League the self
rule organization OF the prisoners at
Sing Sing. have adopted novel method
Of innictirg punishment for attempts
to escape or violation Of prison rules
Suspension from the privileges Of the
league is tho basis of the punishment
Offenders suspended for five days or
more Will be compelled to wear a
yellow circle as large as an orange
on the breast of their gray shirts.
Those suspended for ten days or more
must wear. not only the yellow circle,
but yellow stripe down the middle
Of the back. In case OF suspension for
twenty days. yellow stripes on the
trouscr legs must be worn. The heads
of all offenders suspended for thirty
days will be shaved, and, in addition,
they must wear the yellow stripes
Warden Osborne said the idea orici-
mated with the prisoners and was based
on the feeling that II a man offcnds
against the rules he shows the "yellow''
Of his character and the same color
should show on his uniform
Two prisoners found intoxicated
from drinking a mixture OF alcohol
and water will ne the hrst to wear
the yellow stripes.
