Chapter 253: Special pardon for reform-through-labor prisoners
After several months of continuous construction, Westwind Prison has become a very powerful and domineering architectural achievement, covering a very large area, almost occupying the entire valley.
In the past, more than a dozen reform-through-labor prisoners were huddled in a small room, but now Westwind Prison already has more than 2,000 cells. Reform-through-labor prisoners can live in twos, and prisoners who behave well can have their own cells.
This large group of reform-through-labor criminals work every day, with the main building of the prison as the core, with farmland opened everywhere, orchards planted, and large tracts of pepper trees. Anyway, Robb's Happy Farm always grows fruit fast with their trees, and of course some of these trees will be intercepted by Chief Elsie and handed over to the prisoners to take care of, becoming a prison industry.
Robb did not care about this kind of thing, so slowly, the whole of Westwind Town was surrounded by all kinds of cash crops.
Now, the reform-through-labor prisoners in Westwind Prison learned to pick crops, make sugar, squeeze out fruit juice, plant fruit trees, and brew fruit wine. All of them became omnipotent workers.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
However, in this way, prison makes its own income and has its own expenditure, so it is easy to breed corruption.
In order to prevent this kind of corruption, there must be special financial institutions to do accounts and calculate revenue, but...
This involves the establishment of government institutions, an institutional issue that Robb hates.
It's a little annoying!
Otakus by nature don't like to involve the system.
As the town gets bigger, there will be more and more things that need the system, and it will become more and more annoying.
But who should I dump it to?
This issue is even harder than the ones he faced before.
What is even more unbelievable is that its still very early on the agreed three-year prison sentence. They have only been locked up for one winter, but they can be commuted and released from prison, which greatly exceeds their expectations and makes them feel a little unreal.
They were worried that Robb was deceiving them. after all, big people like to buy small potatoes, and falling out often happens to nobles of the desert kingdom.
It would be tragic if they were fooled and played as monkeys by the nobles.
This is not only what these 20 reform-through-labor prisoners have in mind, but also what the other 3,000 other people were thinking about. They were all worried that "release at the end of their sentence" is just a big joke, that they are a teased mouse, and that Robb is the cat.
Robb was delighted to see the twenty amnesty objects in front of him looking forward to the future, but at the same time full of worry and cautiousness.
To this kind of people, we have to give them a strong medicine to give them a huge reassurance.
So Robb stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand, "Suofa, give them what I have prepared in advance."
Suofa gave a "hmmm" and took a huge bag out of the back pocket of the wheelchair. She opened the bag, and a pile of silver coins inside.
Suofa went to the twenty reform-through-labor prisoners and gave each of them twenty silver coins. Four hundred silver coins glowed in the twinkling of an eye, leaving only an empty bag.
The twenty reform-through-labor prisoners looked at the money in their hands with a bewildered face.
Robb said with a smile, "this money is a special bonus given for your excellent performance. You are free now, and you can take the money as a fare to return to the desert kingdom and be reunited with your families. And if you are willing to become civilians of Westwind Town, you can also use this money to rent a house, buy daily necessities, and buy food, so that you will be able to gain a foothold in the new place."
Clamor! An uproar rose among the more than 3,000 reform-through-labor prisoners.
No one thought that Robb would not only release people, but also hand out money. He subverted their cognition. It was crazy.
Seeing the ignorant look on their faces, Robb said with a smile, "Don't be in a daze. You can go now. Don't you want to get out of this damn prison and get your freedom?"
