WORK FOR PRISONERS.
NO MORE TREE PLANTING. By Teleßranh.—Pr«ss Association. Wellington, Last Night. For many years it has been the practice of the Prisons Department to employ prisoners at tree planting, the biggest of the tree planting camps being at Kaingaroa, on the plains near Rotorua. This practice is to be discontinued very shortly and liie prison camp at Kaingaroa is to be broken up. From the point of view of the prison authorities tree planting k no longer considered to be a desirable use to make of prison labor, and the cost of the maintenance of camps, often with comparatively small numbers of men in them, is considered to be excessive. Further, the aim of the prison authorities now is to give the prisoners work to do which will improve them for their life aB free men after discharge, and this is now being done on prison farms.
