Prison's Walls
RICHMOND, Va. ( A life

here will get to fulfill the desire
of many prison inmates he'll
be allowed to knock a hole through
the penitentiary walls.
Identified only as "Georgia
Boy," the lifer heard that the west
wall of the penitentiary would be
extended 250 feet this summer. He
asked superintendent Frank Smyth
if that meant the old wall would
be torn down. Told that it did, he
replied:
"Well, would you mind if I tore
open the first hole? I've been
wanting to knock a hole in that
wall for a long time."
Georgia Boy, with several
guards standing by, will be able to
satisfy that longing.
