There is no chance of hid- ing under a barrel in an alley. “We try to keep them always busy, but we don’t try to be eruel. The men work at factory sorts of work such as laundry, shoe repair- ing; clothing or areund the prison.

He com- mented upon the “astonishing quiet” at both Atlanta and Leavenworth ‘Outside Woria Really Outside Regulations at Alcatraz are part of the definite federal campaign to deflate” the inmates and break their connections with the eriminal orld.
