Penitentiary bills to get quick action in Austin
Representative Humphrey plans a strong push next week to bring up and pass two penitentiary bills. One broad reform measure would reorganize the prison system, while the second targets four specific articles of the current law including per diem pay and overtime limits. The discharged convict provision, backed by the penitentiary committee, may pass with an emergency clause, potentially saving $15,000 monthly if enacted.
