Money or Time Choice Held Illegal for State Prison
Chief Judge Bernard J. Leddy ruled a Vermont statute forcing prisoners to choose between 10 cents per hour work payment or a five day per month sentence reduction unconstitutional. Legal Aid argued the policy created an indigent wealth classification harming Baldwin and others, a decision likely shortening sentences for as many as 50 prisoners.
