Show NO CLOCKS IN THIS PRISON Oklahoma Convicts Go by Electric Gongs Which Announce the Divisions of Time. McAlester, Okla. After a trip through the state penitentiary here a visitor realizes that he has seen no clocks. Neither in the Administration building, the rotunda nor cell houses is there a time piece. Recently a visitor without a watch was escorted back to the administration administra-tion rooms after a tour of the prison. He glanced at the walls looking for a clock to see If he had time to catch a car into the city. There was none. "Why, where are your clocks?" he asked a trusty. The man grinned. "We don't need any. We all have all the time we want here," he replied. Then he added: "Electric gongs announce an-nounce divisions of time work, eat and retire, according to the rings." |
