Unguarded, and with but one re striction, 4 8 "honor men" from the Michigan Stutu Penitentiary at Jack son nru being given their "big chance" at Camp Custer, near here. The men are engaged in building an. addition to the American Legion hospital at Custer. They are to be engaged ''there for the remainder of the summer ast workmen, not as convicts, and If, when the work has been linished, t they have Justi fied tho eotilid.L-net placed in them, they will be paroled and walk for all time from under tiie shadow of the prison, despite the fact that many of them atill have several years to serve, according to their commitment papers. Tiie iplan ' Is an expoi'linem in prison honor that is described by penalogl.sts as one of tho most 1e markabio on record. Soon the 48 are to b joined by 411 others from the cell blocks at Jackson. Those men have' been permitted to come hero luni.ittended and to work their way to freedom merely by . doing a good day's work every week day fur tho remainder of tin summer and by remaining un the camp reservation. To date but one violation has been recorded after nearly a month of experiment. One prisoner violated the purole and has disappeared. Tho remaining men have formed an organization, witli lis distinct court system, and have sworn to each other that they will not break the faith. Some ot the men at Custer de clared on their arrival that this was the first time in years thai they had slept outside of the celj blocks. A large peicentago ot them are be ing given an opportunity to short en their sentences by years. Each of th'o workers receives" a dally wage, tho money bolng sent to I ho prison officials. Men making good win receive this niuney when they have fulfilled their part of the honor contract. The experiment Is being trlol at the suggestion of Harry L. Hulbert, warden of Jackson prison.
