J. w. Pace, assistant director Of
business control is visiting the penal
and reformatolY institutions of mid
die western states to learn at first
hand what they manufacture, what
their system of rewards may be, how
effective the policy of keeping in
mates at work at useful occupations
has proved and whether there is 4
possibility Of exchanging productions
between institutions of the Middle
west and those of this state.
Mr.. Pace believes it is possible,
with Legislative help, to work out 4
plan whereby state institutions can
become nearly self-supporting with
out competing with free labor and at
the same time a system of rewards
for good service can be instituted SO
prisoners can leave the penitentiary
or reformatoly with a small sum Of
money to keep them while they es-
tablish themselves-or married men
while in prison can contribute to
their families support.
