Show CHANGES IN UTILES OF STATE PRISON PLANNED. As a result of a recent visit of Warden Pratt through a number of the penitentiaries peniten-tiaries of the East. It now seems possible, possi-ble, that many of the rules of the prison that have, been In vogue for many years will be changed. One change will be that only third-grade prisoners, the lowest grade, will be forced to wear stripes. The dark cell will probably be abolished, as well. Refractory prisoners will be placed In a- well-tifrhted. well-ventilated cell, and. will be given a certain quantity of rock to be broken. They will receiveno food until this is broken, when they, will be fed. |
