TURNHOUT

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 480 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TURNHOUT , a town of Belgium, in the province of Antwerp, 26 m. N.E. of that city. Pop. (1904), 22,162. It carries on an active industry in
cloth
  and other manufactures. There is a breeding
establishment
  for leeches. The hotel de ville was formerly a palace of the dukes of Brabant. Two miles west of Turnhout is the curious penal or reformatory colony of Merxplas (pop. in 1904, 2827). The
system
  of this
establishment
  is to allow certain approved prisoners to follow their usual occupations within a defined area. The persons detained have complete liberty of
movement
 , subject to the two conditions that they are under the supervision of guardians and are not allowed to
cross
  the boundaries of the
settlement
 . They also
wear
  a distinct dress, and each prisoner bears a number.
