Convict Labour

Convict Labour.

Chap. 24.—The L. G. in C. may authorize the employment outside of the limits of a common gaol of any prisoner who has been a second time convicted of a breach of law or by-law of a municipality and sentenced to hard labour. He is to labour under strict supervision and is liable to the laws respecting escapes and the rules and regulations of the gaol so far as applicable. The roads by which he goes to and from his work, and the place of employment are to be considered as part of the gaol. His earnings are to be divided between the Prov. Government and the municipality in the proportion in which they contribute to the maintenance of the gaol.
