Radical bill would create state board of control for penal institutions
A reform bill to abolish the boards of directors for the state penitentiary, state reformatory, and pardons would transfer all duties to a governor appointed three member board. It would save thousands yearly, set each member’s salary at 1000, require a 10000 bond, serve four year terms, introduce prisoner classification and a merit parole system, and remove judges from sentencing noncapital prisoners, leaving confinement duration to the board within legal maximum.
