Persons on parole from the Minnesota State Reformatory are not permited (sic) to drink intoxicants, smoke cigarettes, loaf, stay out at night, use profane or obscene language, visit saloons, billard (sic) or pool rooms, associate with doubtful or objectionable company, use any unnecessary drug or in any wise violate any law of the state.
Employers are requested and expected to promptly report any misconduct; or
suspicion of misconduct, to the Superintendent or the State Agent, using the
wire when deemed prudent, at our expense. Paroled inmates are subject to their
employers and are required to be obedient, respectful, truthful and diligent. If
they fail in any of these regards we wish to know it at once.
When it is
possible board and room must be paid in advance, and receipt sent with
report.
When living with their employer, them must not go away from home, at
any time and particularly at night, without first stating where they are going,
for what purpose, and when they expect to return. As to such questions, they
must correctly and politely answer all questions asked.
There are admonished
to save as much of their money as possible and to avoid all unnecessary or
expensive purchases. Cigars should not frequently be bought, nor shaving be had
regularly at barber shops, unless the income warrents (sic).
Ornamental
jewelry, horses, bicycles, automobiles, etc. must not be bought without
permission from Superintendent of the Stat Agent. Borrowing money or articles of
value, and going into debt is likewise prohibited.
In writing regarding an
inmate always use both his name and number.
Inmates on parole are not
permitted to correspond with inmates who are in the institution.
Where it
can be conveniently done, employers are requested to arrange for the paroled
inmates to attend weekly morning services in their respective places of worship
if it is desired by them.
Monthly reports of inmates must cover the time
from the 20th day of one month to the 20th day of the next
month.
Special attention is called to the importance of having the financial
statement correct. If it does not balance, the matter of discrepancies will be
the subject of inquiry.
We ask for the co-operation of all employers of
paroled persons to the end that they may become successful and self-respecting
citizens.
