Two of the convicts, Salvatore J. Guido and Ronald A. Riley, said they found worms in barbecued pork.

Guido said that oh another occasion he saw a mouse in a kettle of beans. "The food is atrocious," said Guido, who is serving a 10 to 12 year term for possession and sale of narcotics. The defense has contended hat conditions at the prison and lack of reforms helped touch off the four-hour riot. Charles L. Young, serving 5 25 years for armed robbery, testified he was beaten by members of a "goon squad," a group of long-term prisoners who allegedly help guards mete out discipline.

"They gave me a broken rib, a black eye and a busted head," said Young, whose testimony conflicted with state witnesses who stated earlier that "goon squads" don't exist in Illinois prisons. about 200,009 persons actively engaged in farming in Illinois now, hundreds of thousands more are interested. They give off-farm service in machinery manufacture, fertilizer and herbicide production, and the like.
