Jasper County Democrat, Volume 1, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 January 1899 — Prefer Convict Life. [ARTICLE]

Prefer Convict Life.

There are at present several old convicts in Fremantle (Wostrolia) Jail who, though their time has long expired, live on there. They give as their reason that all the people they knew In the old country must be long since dead; so they prefer to remain where •so much of their life has been spent. The old fellow's are allowed to go into town, but must be back In time for lockup.
