OVERCROWDED GAOLS.
PRISONS IN ILLINOIS. (BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received November 10th, 9.35 p.m.) NEW YORK, November 10. A Chicago message states that the prisons in Illinois are so crowded that the convicts sleep in portable animal cages in the corridors. This was disclosed in the report of Mr Hinton Clabaugh, Superintendent of Pardons and Paroles, who said the State was apprehending criminals so much faster than its prisons could hold them that it must release them through a more efficient parole law or treble or quadruple the prison facilities in the next few years. The prison population of the State is now 23 per cent, greater than the capacity of all its penal institutions.
