PRISON CHANGES.
EFFECTS OF NEW LEGISLATION. T’er Tress Association. WELLINGTON, November 20. Now that last session’s legislation has enabled the Invercargill prison to be used as a Borstal institution, offenders between 20 and 25 years of age will be drafted to Waikeria in Waikato, those from 16 to 20 to Invercargill, and females to the new prison at Wellington. The majority of the Borstal inmates arc employed on agricultural work, but owing to the discovery that many youthful prisoners apparently have never been educated ordinary teachers are to be attached to these institutions.
