WASHINGTON March 5.-Crim
inaI convictions under Federal stat
utes have increased $50 per cent In
| the last twelve years, causing an
overcrowding of Federal penitentia-
ries far beyond their normal ca
| pacity
Penitentiaries at Atlanta, Mcneil
Island and Leavenworth house about
1000 Federal prisoners at present,
| with 1000 other Government con-
victs housed in State penal insti-
tutions, Justice Department officials
said.
Federal courts, after a recess, are
now returning hundreds of convic-
lions a week and 1t is expected the
Federal prison population will in
crease to more than 5000 before
July 1. Should the number increase
above 5000 the Government will
have no place to house its prison
ers, L. c. White, superintendent of
prisons, said.
Despite the fact that the pene-
tentiaries have 1000 less inmates
than six months ago, they are over
crowded." White said. "At present
200 men are forced to sleep in the
basement of one of the cell houses
at Leavenworth and it is necessary
to place two inmates in cells intend
ed for one"
State officials caring for Federal
prisoners have complained to At
torney General Sargent against the
practice and the government must
soon provide other accommodations
for the conWcts distributed in State
jails.
Prohibition, officials admitted, is
partially responsible for the over
crowded conditions. Seventeen per
cent Of all Federal convicts have
been convicted Of violating the Vol
stead Act.
