To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To be valued, credits must be redeemable in something of use to the very short term men, as well as to those with the longer sentences. We have arranged, therefore, that if a man's sentence is for six months or longer his credits may be applied to the shortening of his term; since this is not legally possible in the cases of men sentenced for less than six months, their credits are redeemable in cash at the rate of one cent per credit. In most institutions using a credit system a man is given a... certain number of credits and these are reduced when he commits any breach of discipline. With us no credits are given unless earned, but once given are never taken away. If a man abuses his privileges his power to earn credits is reduced by his demotion to a lower class, or is taken away entirely if he falls into class D. The amount of cash earned by a prisoner in six months may seem small, but it will at least give a penniless vagrant enough money to maintain himself for a few days or a week after his discharge.
