Mayor Opposes Street Labor for Workhouse Prisoners
Indianapolis mayor Charles A. Bookwalter rejects using workhouse inmates for hard street labor. He argues such a plan would humiliate prisoners, harm reform efforts, and be a dismal sight for children, despite calls by some for city economic benefit. The proposed law would compel prisoners to toil up to ten hours daily under supervision, returning them to custody each night.
