Medium Prison Farm Bill Aims at Medium Security
A state bill proposes establishing a men’s farm adjacent to the Moundville Penitentiary to ease congestion. The plan, backed by Gov. H. G. Kump and Warden X. McClintic, would place a deputy warden in charge and admit only inmates showing readiness for medium security and specialized treatment after an initial confinement period. Construction and operation would use prison labor where possible on land selected by the Board of Control. The measure is part of a broader administration reform package and is the second related bill to reach the Senate.
