The Henry Bulletin, April 11th, 1921
Eight jail birds, 6 colored and 2 white, were engaged yesterday in cleaning the streets, the gang being in charge of special officer Everett Cheshire.
This is the first appearance of the town chain gang at work for sometime, it having been recently determined to resume that method of punishment as more effective and possibly less expensive than a mere term of confinement in jail, when the force is large enough to warrant the employment of a foreman - guard.
