State Prison Farm Plan Sparks Iowa Reform Debate
Iowa Attorney General Cosson outlines a reform program creating a state prison farm at Anamosa with separate facilities for tuberculosis and other diseases, moving some prisoners from Fort Madison while preserving the penitentiary. The plan includes a 2000 acre farm, modest costs, and aims to reduce inmate infection and upgrade training for younger offenders. Federal grand jury actions include indictments of Paul Speckman for robbing mail pouches, and other cases of bootlegging and immoral cardings.
