Rabbis Push Plan to Put Prisoners to Work in Mills
Rabbi David Gross and Rev. T. S. Grose urged Canton city officials to allow workhouse prisoners to work in local mills and shops. The plan would pay wages to prisoners, some of which would go to families and fines, while others would be saved for release. Officials considered the idea as a radical shift in prisoner treatment aimed at reducing idle time and aiding families.
