Convicts Cutting Weeds in Wayne County Roads
Superintendent Jones announces that weeds along public highways are being cleared as part of a county road improvement program in Indiana. Prisoners from the Wayne County jail are used for weed cutting and road work, transported by a county auto truck. Initially met with doubt, the program now faces mainly prisoner resistance to working instead of idleness.
