Preparations to provide matzoth for the 165 Jewish inmates of the Federal Penitentiary have been made by the local community here. A Seder service will be provided.
Ten pounds of matzoth will be furnished each inmate, as well as a supply of kosher food, so that he may absent himself from the dining room during the Passover holiday.
