Plan Seeks Two Prison Labor Buildings At State Fair
Iowa board of control asks the Thirty seventh general assembly for a six thousand dollar appropriation to construct two permanent buildings at the state fairgrounds. Each 120 feet long will house exhibits from sixteen state institutions built by convict labor at nominal cost. Plans call for location on the main roadway near the exposition building and near the stock barns. The project aims to better display inmate work and educate the public about state institutions while improving fair facilities for future exhibitions. The 1916 Iowa state fair reported a net profit of 32000 with debt reduced to 16000 and further improvements funded from this year’s proceeds.
