Approved February 25, 1922.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
board of supervisors of the county of Wise are hereby authorized to
establish at Wise, Virginia, on such site as may be selected or acquired
for the purpose, a home for women and girls convicted of prosti-
tution or of being a keeper, inmate or frequenter of a house of ill
fame, prostitution or assignation, or of soliciting for immoral pur-
poses, or committed to jail by any health board or any other public
institution to be treated for venereal disease. Such home shall be
under the supervision of a board of trustees consisting of three dis-
creet citizens of the county to be appointed by the judge of the circuit
court of the said county. The first appointment shall be one for
a term of one year; one for a term of two years, and one for a term
of three years, and subsequent appointments shall be for terms of
three years. Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term. Such
board shall have the management and control of the said home;
shall establish a system of government therefor; make all necessary
rules and regulations for the care, support and discipline of the in-
mates ; and shall adopt and use any method of education and employ-
ment which in their judgment will best promote the interests of
those confined therein, and secure their reformation. The board of
supervisors may annually appropriate funds necessary for the con-
duct and maintenance of the home. For State prisoners confined in
the home aforesaid, the county of Wise shall be entitled to receive
from the State treasury the same fees as are allowed by law to
jailers, the same to be paid in the same manner.
2. But this act shall not be construed to prohibit the commit-
ment of any such misdemeanant to any State institution authorized
to receive such person. Any such person, however, may be held
temporarily in such home pending admission to such State institution.
