Chapter XI: Section 4: Workshops

ART. 1. The inspectors are to see that every workman is busily
employed, and loses no time.

2. The workshops are to be kept locked during the hours of
work, and the inmates not allowed to leave them.

3. Each able-bodied inmate is to have a task set him,
proportioned to his strength and skill. If he do not finish it,
he is to be paid only for what he has done, put on dry bread,
and kept to work during the hours of recreation.

4. Every workman, who for three consecutive days fails in
completing his task, is to be kept during the hours of meals
and of recreation, and during the night, confined in the
punishment-room upon bread and water, until he has accomplished
his task.

5. Every workman who wilfully or negligently spoils the
materials, tools, or furniture in his care, shall pay for
them out of the reserved third of his earnings, besides still
further punishment as the case may deserve.

6. Every workman doing more than his task is to be paid
two-thirds of the value of his extra labour.

7. With respect to every inmate who shall have been imprisoned,
5 centimes for each day of imprisonment shall be deducted
from the reserved third of his earnings. The amount of these
deductions, and of all fines and other casual sources of
profit, is to form a reserved fund for the purpose of rewards
for those inmates who may distinguish themselves among their
companions by good conduct and industry.
