  4. Whenever there shall be a sufficient number of cells or rooms in  a
correctional  facility,  each  inmate  shall  be given sleeping accommo-
dations in a separate cell or  room,  provided,  however,  that  nothing
herein  contained  shall  be  construed  so as to limit the right of the

SUCH CELLS, ROOMS AND DORMITORIES SHALL BE PLUMBED  TO  PROVIDE  INMATES

  2.  Such  labor  shall  be either for the purpose of the production of
supplies for said institutions, or  for  the  state,  or  any  political
subdivision  thereof, or for any public institution owned or managed and
controlled by the state, or any political subdivision  thereof;  or  for
the  purpose  of industrial training and instruction, or partly for one,
and partly for the other of such purposes.  WHERE  PRACTICABLE,  INMATES
SHALL BE PROVIDED VOCATIONAL TRAINING TO INSTALL SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEMS
TO  PROVIDE  HOT  WATER  TO CELLS, ROOMS AND DORMITORIES LACKING IN SUCH
AMENITY PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION FOUR OF SECTION ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-SEVEN
OF THIS CHAPTER.
  S 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
it shall have become a law.
