Roscoe Sheldon Pardoned by Colorado Board of Control
Des Moines reports Roscoe Sheldon received a pardon at a Golden meeting of the Colorado board of control. Gov John F Shafroth signed the document restoring his rights after escape from the Colorado industrial school over two years ago. The pardon removes incorrigibility charges and follows his exemplary conduct in Des Moines. He will soon return to his wife and child and work at the Cownia Tanning Company as a trusted employee. The decision reflects reformist criminology favoring rehabilitation over strict punishment.
