_Parole In Kentucky._--According to the Louisville Herald, since the State Prison South was converted into a State reformatory sixteen years ago, 4,670 prisoners have been paroled, of whom 2,666 have received final discharges. During the parole period the sentences of 295 expired. Six hundred violated their paroles and were returned to the institution. Five hundred and eighty-nine are parole violators and are at large: 433 are still reporting, and seventy-eight have died while at large. Out of each hundred paroled, twenty-six have violated their agreement; fifty-seven have received their final discharge; two died; the terms of six expired while on parole. The paroled men have earned $1,315,642.76, and it cost $1,143,078.64 to maintain them, a difference in favor of the State of $172,564.26. _The Kansas State Prison Makes Money._--According to the Leavenworth, Kansas, Post, the State prison at Lansing saved the State about one half million dollars during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913. This, according to those who should know, is a very conservative estimate. It represents about one-half of the appropriation asked for by the warden to be used in constructing the new penitentiary. The twine and brick plants and the coal mine are the different departments where the most of the saving was made. The twine plant supplied the farmers of Kansas with three million dollars worth of twine last year at nine and one-half cents a pound. This represents a net profit of $32,000, which went into the State treasury. If the farmers had been forced to buy from outside dealers at eleven cents a pound it would have cost them $45,000 more. This $45,000 and the $32,000 profit, represents a total of $77,000 saved the citizens of Kansas in twine. The prison burns its own brick and lime and supplies brick to the different institutions over the state. The prison brickyard manufactured, for the use of State institutions in 1912, 1,623,447 brick of different grades. The prison received credit on the brick account for $12,098. This was an average of about $2 a thousand less than the same quality of brick sold for on the market. If these different institutions had been forced to buy on the open market, the cost to the State would have been about $15,344. This does not take into consideration the brick used in the construction of the new twine plant and other small buildings in the prison yard.
