Show CONVICTS AND HOLDOVERS The penitentiary has passed Into the hands of the officials of the state of Utalh In the past owing to the fact that the institution belonged td the United States and we were a territory it had been customary to send me < awaiting1 trial to the penitentiary for safe keeping It Is a most pernicious custom and so soon as possible everyman every-man confined within Its I walls who Is not serving a sentence should be taken out and placed in a county jail It is an outrage upon any man who is being held for trial to be incarcerated in the same prison with convicts They are subjected to the same rules and regulations that convicts are and this is unavoidable amid absolutely necessary neces-sary for the discipline and safety of the prison Now it will be an easy matter mat-ter to remedy all this No man should be sent to the penitentiary until after triad and conviction while men charged wIth crime and waiting trial should beheld be-held wihen not out on bonds in the jail of the county where tlhe crime wit i whch til ay staid cha ged v3 committed com-mitted They will now be tried there and to send thOrn out of the county will be to incur unnecessary expense Moreover as the crimes committed in each county will te pnxec ted by hj at torneyof the same it Is proper tlhat the accused should remain there and that that county should bear the expense of his keep So long as they are kept tn the state prison under the present arrangement ar-rangement the expense falls upon the state and not upon the counties where it belongs Even were the counties willing to make an arrangement whereby where-by their prisoners should be held in the state penitentiary they to bear all the expense still the arrangement should not be permitted The associating associ-ating of convicts and holdovers cannot I be justified |
