Ifrequenting the jails. Those at

have been more accessible. A
Ipsychiatrist, a psychologist and
a social worker each spent an
hour with each of the combined
100 alcoholics.
Here are their conclusions:
The average workhouse drunk
lis about 40 years old. comes
from a large family with par
Ients who probably did not drink
to excess. He started drinking
lin his late teens and has q
record of more than 20 arrests
lin the District alone. He was
once of average intelligence
with an eighth grade education.
He is accident-prone. with re-
sulting head injuries and pos
sible deformities. He may be
Ipsychotic. He may once have
been married He is not likely
to have had the more serious
alcoholic reactions such as
|delirium tremens.
He is in jail too often, the
study indicates. and his inter.
walls of freedom are too short.
His social environment has been
poor and he has little motiva-
ton to stop drinking. He has
come to lean on the workhouse.
The average out-patient il

Ito come from a. smaller family
and generally is a high school
graduate with superior intelli-
|gence. He may have gone to
college and probably has been
working in a trade or profess
sion He averages only two
arrests here and also started
drinking in his late teens.
Among workhouse inmates, 80
per cent are psychotic. with at
least 48 per cent in need OF
prolonged institutional care.
Out-patient therapy alone is
seldom effective for the typical
workhouse inmate. However,
since April. 1854. the clinic has
been experimenting with 90-day
treatment therapy at
IOccoquan for a few offenders
repeatedly arrested.
This. the report says, indicates
success. but the results have yet
to be evaluated.
