Pennington outlines farm colony plan for first offenders
United Press reports ex Secretary of Welfare D. Pennington proposing a farm colony at the Pennsylvania Industrial School to segregate first offenders from other inmates. A $75,000 appropriation was approved for materials, with work to be done by current institute boys under Pennington’s supervision. The project aims to foster initiative, self-reliance, and confidence within a structured penal program, noting it as a contrast to Huntingdon Prison. The proposal was presented to the Senate appropriations committee and added to the general deficiency bill for a forthcoming legislative session.
