TO TRAIN PRISONERS.
Vocational Plan to Be Tried at Al.
catraz Island, Cal.

Vocational training for prisoners is
the latest humane addition to the reg
ulations at the military disciplinary
barracks at Alcatraz Island. Cal
Capt. Charles r. Rowland. 21st United
States Infantry. commandant of the
barracks. has issued orders govern
ing this matter A military prisoner
may choose one or several of twenty
four trades and make himself prof
cient in any one of them while serv-
ing sentence.
The list includes printing. tailoring
masonry and, in fact. almost every oc'
cupation which does not require a col
legiate education. Heretofore any pris-
oner sentenced for a felony or ever
a misdemeanor left the disciplinary
barracks exactly as he entered.
Capt Rowland believed that to in.
crease a mans earning capacity one
must lessen his inclination to live tis
| honestly.
1T is mans inherent desire to live
honestly" said Capt Rowland. "bu'
men must make living some way
and to prevent them from doing u
dishonesty 1 want them to leave here
equipped with amor against tempta
tion. and good trade is the bes
possible armor."
