 This crowded condition bothers no prisoner more than the one who aspires to write, Tassin saYs.
 with four men sometimes, and always two, in a cell built for one person, what chance has man for privacy? What chance has he to type in peace, if he has a type writer, and is willing to use the two free hours day writing instead of exercising or taking recreation ?''
 They're Not Realists
 Tassin has found that the prisoner usually writes as a release to his feelings, and to forget his surround ings, and that he often turns to romance and fancy rather than realistic writing.
 "The fact that all manuscripts written in prisons are censored might keep many prisoners from writing too feelingly about penal life" he pointed out.
 Tt is unfortunately true, too, that the convict writer shares the human frailties of the college youth he starts out with enthusiasm and vim. and only too often ends in complete indifference. Education is no panacea for the prisoner. any more, than it is for the man outside. But it does give a man direction for his thinking. In both college and prison, I have found that men who put energy passion and en- thusiasm into their mediocre efforts. really get more pleasure from them than the genius"
