Bennington court hands six day jail, suspended term
Bennington Municipal Court imposed six days in the County Jail with a suspended sentence at the House of Correction for Larry R. Rock on two theft charges. Rock’s probation violation tied to a September petty theft conviction led to a new sentence after a grand larceny case. He must make restitution of 150.38 dollars and was placed on probation with conditions. Several related cases followed, including Aiken and Perry, with fines, suspended terms, and probation.

Sweden Plans Comforts For Prisoners
Sweden will allow long term inmates to bring families to jail with them on a limited experimental basis in two smaller prisons. Torsten Eriksson, head of the prison board, said the plan aims to ease prison life and follows debates triggered by reports of sexual divergency in Swedish prisons. In one facility wives and fiances may stay a few days, while in the other wives and children may remain for the prisoner’s entire term.
