Varberg's Decision to Cease the Use of Gaol Stockholm, Oct. 2
A number, of Swedish—prisons seem to become superfluous owing to the Inck of inmates. The number of prisoners has been decreasing steadily during Into years and now amounts to about 2,000 in the entire country. The town of Varberg on Sweden's west coast now intends to discontinue using its prison entirely since the number of prisoners often is as low as two or three, of, in 1928, even one. Last year the prison of Engelholm reported only tone prisoner, those of Visby ant Hapnranda three each, those of Nortelje and Karlshamn five eah, and so on. Some years ago the Ocstermalm prison, situated in the heart of Stockholm, was put out of commission and turned into historic archives as a branch of the Natio: al Government Archives.—Reuter.
