Improvement Of Oregon
Prison Conditions Long
Way Off, Officials Think
By PAUL W. HARVEY JR.
SALEM (AP) - Last week's strike of prison con
victs is only a symptom of the trouble at the state peni
tentiary. State officials hope they can finish the prison
building program before the lid blows off.
Warden George Alexander says all the trouble is
caused by overcrowded conditions. His critics, includ
ing the ' Oregon Prison association and the senate com
mittee on institutions, say that a lot of things could be
done now to improve the place.
A new cell block will be built
in the next two years, and that
should help a lot The prison con
tains some 1,560 convicts, or about
400 more than capacity.
The board of control, which con
sists of the Rovernor, secretary of
state and treasurer, runs all in
stitutions. It is looking for a new
warden, and Alexander will be
moved upstairs into the office of
superintendent.
Alexander now is both superin
tendent and warden. Under the new
set-up. the warden will actually
run the pison. while Alexander will
hcndle business and financial de
tails. Both will be responsible to
the board of control.
It's going to take time to find
a competent warden. So far, some
police chiefs have applied for the
jod. nut tne board doesn't want
any policemen running the place.
They want a man who knows how
to restore men to society.
Senate Action Blamed
Alexander blames the senate
committee for the recent trouble.
He says the commitee gave the
convicts the idea that they are run
ins me prison.
The convicts had a six-man con
ict committee, which Alexander
claims was self - appointed. This
committee, Alexander says, was
trying to run the whole prison.
The warden called for a show.
down, putting four of the convict
committee members in isolation
cells.
The convicts went on strike, de
manding the release of the four
men from their correction cells.
Alexander agreed to release them
and the strike ended. Then Alex
ander got the convicts to agree to
name a new committee.
The convicts are picking the new
committee now, but it is subject
to the warden's approval. He
doesn't want any desperate char
acters on it. He says the original
committee bad lour very trouble
some men.
The new committee should help
maintain order. It will transmit
prisoners grievances to the
warden. The idea is patterned af
ter the federal prison system.
What's wrong with the orison?
The main thing is overcrowding,
forcing youths into the compsny
of hardened criminals, some of
tnem sex degenerates. The men
need more opportunity for educa
tion, including learning of trades.
They need more recreation.

The warden says the new build
ing program will take care of all
of these ills.
The legislature told the board of
control to establish convict work
camps in forests. But this will pre
sent a 101 ot prooiems.
It would cost a lot of money to
build these camps, and the forestry
board, which would have to pay
tor tnem, isnl sure it would be
worth it. The convicts would be
used to plant trees on burned-over
and cut-over lands. ,
Trusted convicts would be needed

convicts, but we can't decide who's
telling the truth.
News is hard to get at the prison
because the warden is not news
minded. He doesn't volunteer infor
mation, figuring the less printed
about his prison, the easier it is to
run it He says many of the trouble
some convicts are publicity seek
ers. The recent strike went on for
24 hours before it leaked out Even
Governor McKay didn't know any
thing about it
Yet the warden will anawer any
questions freely. The trouble is is
knowing just what to ask him.
The brittle star, a dweller of
the ocean bottom, can shed any
of its five arms and grow a new
one.
