What reading level is Penal Servitude book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
After that they are allowed a visit of thirty minutes every two months, and may also write and receive a letter every two months. Men whose friends do not come to see them may write and receive a letter in lieu of each visit allowed by the regula- tions. On receiving what is called the *blue dress,' which only a man of good conduct can obtain for the last year of his imprisonment, prisoners can have a visit, and receive and write a letter even more frequently. To get the blue dress, however, wi...th these and other privileges, a prisoner must have served four full years, so that a five-years' man cannot get it at all, and a six- years' man can only wear it for the last six months of his sentence. I believe it would tend to en- courage good conduct and to prevent relapse into crime if every first oflFender were allowed the blue dress for the last year of his sentence, whether long or short, provided, of course, that his conduct was good. On the other hand, strangely enough, and surely against all reason and fairness, length of time in prison is not taken into account with regard to payment for labour.
