institution's kitchens, where they are en
couraged to learn. In many prisons, stew
ards hand the cooks a list of ingredients
and printed directions on how to cook them.
In Iowa, an apprentice cook learns under a
skilled man. The same holds true in the
well-equipped bake shop. Thus, the food is
better prepared, raising institutional morale,
and the men learn a useful trade.
The shoeshop, tin shop, furniture factory,
textile plant, and all the other prison in
dustries operate on the theory that the
prisoner is not merely doing his job to kill
time he is actually learning a trade.
j inety-five percent of all men serving
sentences will eventually be released
Whether they return to society as useful
citizens or as parasites depends on training
they receive and work habits they develop
while in prison.
The road to rehabilitation is long, and
pretty rough in spots. But there are two
things which will enable more prison in
mates to travel this road: desire and help.
And they are interdependent. A man can
be given all the help in the world, but if
he lacks the desire to help himself he'll
never accomplish a thing.
Inspiring that desire takes more than
trade training. Iowa's prison helps build
the road to rehabilitation with mental
training, too.
Many men who land in prison have deep
mental or emotional problems. To help
clear up these problems, Iowa employs a
psychologist, a sociologist, and a guidance
committee composed of the above and other
custodial and professional staff members.
There are also two full-time chaplains,
and thanks to the remarkable job they do,
more than 50 percent of the available prison
population attend religious services in the
Protestant and Catholic chapels.
The prison also has a large well-stocked
library where 25,000 books on every con
ceivable subject are available to the men,
with literally no censorship. Newspapers,
magazines, and timely radio programs are
also furnished the men.
Athletics also play an important part in
the total program. By competing in team
sports, the inmate is given a chance to blow
off steam and to develop a competitive team
spirit that follows him back into free society.
But don't get the idea that prison is a
big college, full of fun and play. The grim
cell doors still clang shut on the prisoner
for 14 hours a day and those hours drag.
The work is monotonous and the visible
rewards small. Then there is the gnawing
acid of loneliness which eats into the soul
of every prisoner.
But as long as the public shows interest
in the prison and prisoner, he can feel that
society is willing to accept him and will
work hard to be worthy of that acceptance.
