Prison Labor on Levee Suggested Establishment of Camp for Jail Inmates Urged by Judge Westover Employment of county jail prisoners on the Santa Ana river levee project was suggested to the county supervisors early this week by Superior Judge Harry C. Westover. The suggestion came in the form of a letter to Supervisor Harry D. Riley of Anaheim and included a proposal for the establishment of a prison camp. Westover's proposal was in reply to a recent communication from Riley in which the supervisor asked the judge's aid in securing an appropriation of $150,000 in state funds for river protection work. Grant Possibility Good The response made by Judge Westover affirms his belief that state funds to furnish materials for the river job can be obtained providing the county will supply the labor. He pointed out that other southern counties employ a similar plan in their road camps and that Orange county, already uses jail prisoners for work at Irvine park. Judge Westover estimates that there are 150 able body prisoners in the county jail at all times on an average. Using 50 of them four hours each day would give the county 200 hours of free labor daily.
