5148-Hammerberg June 5, 1922
Mr. C. J. Johnson,
Box
36
Sax, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
Your nephew, Carl Hammerberg, our
No. 5148, was granted a parole at a meeting of the Board of Parole held here on
June 1st. In an interview with him he informs me that he thinks you
may give him employment on your farm.
Men on parole from the Minnesota
State Reformatory are governed by the following rules:
They are not
permitted to use intoxicating liquor in any form.
They are not permitted to
leave or change their places of
employment without written permission from
the Superintendent of
from this office.
They are required to make two
reports on the twentieth of each
month, one to the Superintendent and one to
the State Agent, State
Capitol, St. Paul, Minnesota. Blanks for this purpose are furnished by the Institution.
The employer is expected to sign these reports and to report at
once any misconduct on the part of the young man, using the wire at our expense should it be deemed necessary.
Men are kept on parole at least one year before they are eligible to
make application for discharge from parole.
In every case where a
paroled man is employed by a relative it is also required that someone outside
the family sign the monthly reports, in addition to the signature of the
employer. If you are willing to employ Hammerberg, please write me, and also
have the postmaster at Sax or some business man write me stating that he is
willing to sign the reports.
As soon as I hear from you and from the man
who will sign the reports I will arrange for you nephew to report for
work.
Very truly yours.
d- State Parole
Agent
