Prisoners to Build Roads Under Self Governing Camp
A group of grade prisoners from the Caldonia farm will work in Edgecombe county for Sparlin Company on culvert construction for the state highway. The camp operates on honor and self government with Governor McLean and Pardon Commissioner Hoyle Sink backing the plan. Prisoners receive 50 cents of earned wages and repay for escapes from a reserve fund, with the contracting company providing a bonus and stimulus for good work. If successful, the state prison may adopt the plan elsewhere.
