Convicts Take Part in Civilian Road Work Under Honor System
Warden Alston at Rawlings launches an honor system for convicts on state and county highways. A test crew moved from the penitentiary to Yellowstone Park, traveled unguarded by wagon to the site, and will likely stay in camp with meals prepared on site. Terms range from six months to 26 years, with most short-term convicts returning to Rowling after road work ends. The first term expirations occur in September, and convicts with brief terms are excluded. Alston notes the project saves costs and claims high pay from the penitentiary. A Denver Post report about potential violence against George Sabin is denied.
