2-C The Register: Danville, Nov. 9, 1972 tioffa And De Angeles Disagree What Is It Like Inside Walls Of Lewisburg Prison? By LEE LINDER Associated Press Writer LEWISBURG, Pa. (AP) Beamed and vaulted corridors, with heavy traffic in both direc- i give the federal penitentiary at Lewisburg the feeling of a 'busy college or hos- pital. But heavy doors and massive walls quickly remind all who -are inside where they are. Where they are: "Hell hole," says onetime un- ion boss James Hoffa, where i there are "stabbings, fights, riots." f' A haven, says salad oil king de Angeles, where a can find himself spiritu- physically and morally." While the truth may rest somewhere in between, both have followers who sup -iport their views and both have outspoken about their jyears in Lewisburg.

Hoffa, former president of the Teamsters Union, gives testimony at a House Judiciary Commit- tee hearing on parole procedures, in Wash- ington earlier this year. He was then himself on parole from the federal penitentiary at ures in the giant, gray-stoned penitentiary on the edge of this ollege town, home of Bucknell University.

"This is the only kind of re- labilitation that is worthwhile," said. "This gives a hell )f a good chance of not going back. I'm putting my time to use. I'll have a job when I hit he street." "A good job, in fact," re- marked James Keyser, chief dental technician. His staff of four, assisted by at least 33 in- mates, make all denture plates and other necessary dental ap- pliances for inmates in all the "ederal prisons in America.

line 'Li- cense plate and mop bucket manufacturing bear little rela- to potential jobs in private industry." "No prison is good," insisted 47-year-old ex-soldier serving a life ter for murder "This one is overcrowded, and there is insufficient staff for any kind meaningful program." Lewisburg is considered me- dium security for men with generally short terms, under 10 years, and who are considered less criminally sophisticated. It is one of 28 federal penal institutions and the only one completely surrounded by a wall. Prisoner protests across the country, riots and violence in some jails, and a growing pub- lic awareness has caused some wardens to take new looks at rules and regulations and many have been softened. This is what happened at Le- wisburg: Visitors Inmates can see family and friends seven days a week, without time limit, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

A year ago visits were restricted to five specific days, with a maximum of four hours a month. Mail--Virtually unlimited in and out. Telephone calls Now per- mitted in emergencies and sometimes this is stretched to allow inmates to call home if there's been a long time be- tween letters. Spending Inmates now can spend as much as $25 a month on such things as cigarettes, candy, soft drinks. The limit used to be $15.

Meals Served cafeteria style. No check-in and inmates can skip a meal if they desire. While most Lewisburg in- mates wear the familiar mili- tary-type khaki or green coats, some sport T-shirts, shorts, fan- cier slacks, sneakers or boot shoes. They have mustaches, beards, short and long hair. They walk alone or in pairs, seldom in larger groups.

They converse quietly, laugh a little, sometimes exchange signals. Some carry papers, books or transistor radios. But eventually each comes to a door that has to be unlocked by a guard. Like the man said: "No pris- on is good." RECLINERS Choce of Colors MM FURN. 530 MONROE ST.

OUT TO A NEW LIFE--Anthony de Angeles, freed after serving a seven-year prison term for a salad oil fraud, greets freedom outside the federal penitentiary at LewLsburg, with a tribute to the salutary effect of prison on him. He lost weight, he says, and gained spiritually and morally; in fact, "coming here actually saved my life." Lewisburg is one of various prisons across the country where prisoner protests, riots and violence brought softening of many rules and regu- lations.
