RADICAL CHANGES
IN CONSTRUCTION
OF STATE PRISON

Springfield, Ill-Radical changes
in plans for the new Illinois peni-
Tertiary at Joliet are contemplated
by John l.. Whitman, superintend-
ent of prisoners, and other prison
authorities. it is understood here.
Although no formal announcement
has been made.
The circular cell house system,
it is said, as approved by the Dunno
commission, does not met with the
complete approval Of the present
administration, and the plans may
be altered to some extent
F. One circular cell house has been
completed, and this will be allowed
to stand as the nucleus or center
of the prison building arrangement.
Only partial appropriations have
ben made by the legislature for
building the plant and the approval
of the general assembly will be
necessary if the proposed changes
are made effective.
The prison grounds proper are to
cover 90 acres on a tract of rich
farm land of more than 1000 acres
located on the bank of the Des
Just outside of the high walled
enclosure will be the prison village
of some twenty-five cottages where
men entrusted with certain privil-
eyes will be permitted to live and
perpare themselves for remittance
into society.
The entire scheme for housing
and managing prisoners. is intended
by Mr.. Whitman to be with the re
clamation idea in view. His desire
to make changes in the present
plans was prompted by the fact, it
is explained that these plans were
not adopted with that idea in mind.
