§4125 Public Works; Prison Camps

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 744b, 851, 853, 854, 855 (Feb. 26, 1929, ch. 336, §§ 1, 3, 4, 5, 45 Stat. 1318; May 27, 1930, ch. 340, § 2, 46 Stat. 391). Section consolidates section 744b of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with those portions of section 851, 853–855 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which may not have been superseded by section 744b of said title. Section 851 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was superseded except for the proviso which formed the basis for the added words “elsewhere than upon Indian reservations”. Section 855 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was superseded by section 744b of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., except as to the specific mention in section 855 of said title of expense for maintenance and operation of camps. Hence a reference to operation was added in subsection (c) of this section. Section 854 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was added as a part of subsection (c). Section 853 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was added as subsection (d) of this section, although its retention may be unnecessary. The phrase “the cost of which is borne exclusively by the United States” which followed the words “constructing or repairing roads” was omitted as inconsistent with the later phrase “constructing or repairing any other public ways or works financed wholly or in major part by funds appropriated from the Treasury of the United States.” The provision for transfer of prisoners was omitted as duplicitous of a similar provision in section 4082 of this title. Other changes of phraseology were made.
