A TOUGH PRISON
Continued from, page seven

into real prison, strict, dark, monoto-
nous joint that was like no movie prison
| had ever seen - that's the first time
gave some thought to tuaning into an
honest citizen.
All those prison riots you read about,
with murders and kidnappers complaining
about the food and recreation - why the
hell do they think they're there? How else
will these guys ever be convinced that they
should give up crime? know what am
saying will offend a lot of progressive
prison people. don't want to throw US
back into the dark ages. certainly am
not in favor of making guys sleep on bed
Of nails or flogging them or keeping them
on bread and water. think prisons must
have recreational facilities and an educa-
tional program.
But ! think you can't go for all this
ultra modern stuff Of turning prisons into
a kind Of country club before you have
enough psychiatrists or otheE trained peo-
pie to make it work. We're far, far away
from that. Until that day comes, think
that the formula that worked with me is
as good as anyone can devise: strict
prison and kind community. Here's my
story to prove it.

- Bill, three years older, and Tom, three
