Prisoners Earned
$4,000 For State

Delaware correctional institu-
tion inmates earned about $11S,000
for the state in the fiscal year
ending June 80.
According to Harry w. Towers,
acting director of the State Board
of Corrections, most of the money
came from employers of prison
labor, owners of refinished furni-
ture, and state agencies that
bought prison-made goods.
More money could have been
made, Towers said, if public de-
mand for prison labor at $6 a day
had held up. But a slump in de-
mand forced lowering of the
rate to $3.50.
A prisoner gets 81 from that,
plus meals from employers. T h e
state receives the remaining $3.50.
Prisoners get the same amount,
with meals, when a state agency
