Illinois roads and convict labor in Illinois scheme
A Chicago Herald correspondent from Aurora argues for a broad plan to improve state roads and provide steady convict labor under state supervision. He proposes utilizing 1000-1500 non-dangerous convicts for road work, with tile and vitrified brick industries forming a state prison industry, overseen to prevent leakage of materials to outsiders. The piece notes Illinois bans contract labor but remains flooded with convict goods from other states, urging a congressionally protected, coordinated system.
