Chapter XXXVI: Section 4: All convicts under the control of the State and

county officers, and all inmates of reformatory institutions
engaged in the manufacture of articles for general consumption,
shall receive quarterly wages equal to the amount of their
earnings, to be fixed from time to time by the authorities of
the institution, from which board, lodging, clothing, and costs
of trial shall be deducted, and the balance paid to their
families or dependents; in case none such appear, the amount
shall be paid to the convict at the expiration of his term of
imprisonment.

The prisoners receive no payment whatever, even for overtime
work, except occasionally a slice of pork for supper.

K. G., plant this and other material I'll send you, in a safe
place.
