Mitchell Now in Stripes After Privileged Jail Stay
Long disputed case of William Mitchell of Thomas County shifts from jail life to chain gang confinement. A prison commission order sent him to the convict camp hospital and now requires him to serve the remainder of a twelve month term in the chaingang unless good behavior or work time alters his status. The case drew Governor Brown and public attention over alleged comforts enjoyed in jail versus harsher conditions for other inmates.
