because Warden Clarence T. Glad

warned away.
That is the lowest number of
escapes that I can remember. Con

custody, the man escapes. So the
committee has to be right almost
all of the time.
'Good JoV
The fact that only six minimum
custody men, or trusties, , walked
away last year ii evidence that
the committee is doing well. -
Besides Barnei, the members of
the committee are the deputy war
den in charge of mass treatment;
the two chaplains, the psychiatrist,
the ' supervisor of classification,
and the educational director.
"We haven't had anybody break
out for a long time," Gladden
says. "We hear lots of rumors,
but none of them have panned out.
. "But we have a lot of men who
are thinking all the time about
ways to get out So we'll have
some attempts some time. In the
meantime, all our officers and
staff must stay on the alert."
Added Sentence
When a man escapes, he can
have up to 10 years added to his
sentence. Until recently, the judges
thinks this is a good Idea.
Gladden has tightened the secu
rity of the prison lately.
There now are strict rules that
won't let prisoners stand idle in
the" prison yard. There used to be
hundreds. 1
When I walked through the
grounds last week with Gladden,
I saw only one idle prisoner on the
grounds. Gladden took care of him
quickly, putting the man back to
work.
Another security measure is the
new arsenal tower, located In the
middle of the driveway in . front
of the administration building.
Every Stops
Anybody used to be able to walk
into the administration building.
But not now. The tower guard
stops everyone and questions him
before letting him proceed, to the
main building.
Yes, things are much different
now than they were ln April, 1953,
when Gladden came out of retire
ment to bring order out of chaos
at the prison.
At that time, Gladden said It
would take him about three years
to get the institution operating the
way he wanted it to run.'
He worked IS hours a day, and
drove his men hard. Many em
ployes were replaced. Discipline
was restored among the inmates
and employes. The Jood . was im
proved greatly. And the inmates
were given a wide choice of vo
cational training, as well as edu
cation through the college level.
Now Gladden is pretty well satis
fied... "We still have many things I'd
like to do." he says, "but 1 feel
now that the Oregon penitentiary
is as good as any in the United
States."

The motion by Boetticher was
