RUY LOPEZ 1 li 3 I Iks. iMr ijNter I and of the most effective locks, signal arrangements and other modern contrivances precludes possibility of such escapes in future. EVIL INFLUENCES REMOVED Alcatraz Island serves a double purpose: In addition to guaranteeing retention of the nation's most vicious and desperate criminals, it removes from other penitentiaries the evil Influence which such hardened desperadoes exert on other convicts. To an observer, Alcatraz Prison has the appearance of a fortress. It consists of a main building housing the administration offices, cells and dining-room.

In the rear of this structure are prison shops where convicts make their own clothes, operate a laundry and do other tasks identified with the maintenance of a prison. The prison yard extends alongside the shops and main building. GUARD SYSTEM Around the yard is a fifteen-foot wall three feet thick. Watch towers have been erected along this wall and at strategic points around the island and are manned by armed guards day and night. These guards not only observe all actions in prison buildings and yards, but along the shore line as well.

Failure of any craft to keep outside the 300-yard limit draws the fire of the guards, according to orders by Warden James A. Johnston. Elaborate radio and telephonic communication systems provide contact between prison authorities and police departments of near-by cities, the Coast Guard, the San Francisco Presidio, Fort McDowell and Fort Mason. Direct radio communication is maintained with San Francisco police, the Coast Guard and the Department of Justice launch serving the island, making chances for escape even more remote. THE CELL BLOCK The original army cell block, with a capacity of 600 prisoners, has been renovated and remodeled to 11 i li faV M.

Resltnt mitting the entire prison population to assemble at one place and at one time has been discarded, although for the purposes of facilitating administration, inmates will enter and leave the mess hall in small groups and go to and from in limited numbers. Danger of a wholesale delivery of prisoners has been reduced to a minimum through installation of a series of cell locking systems rather than use of a master control service. The possibility of a raid on the institution's armory has been nullified by an ingenious arrangement requiring two widely separated guards to open doors providing access to fdminls-trative quarters from the ceU block section.

LIKE A SPEAK-EASY Taking a cue from the speak-easy proprietor, the Justice Department has devised a novel arrangement for preventing smuggling of contraband into the institution without eliminating the right to have visitors. While they can see and talk clearly with relatives and friends who will be permitted to call under close supervision, Alcatraz inmates will have no opportunity to obtain guns, files, saws or other weapons or tools during' visiting hours. Prisoner and caller will be in separate rooms, divided by a substantial wall in which a narrow strip of bullet-proof glass has been inserted and which has been perforated to permit conversation but not allow passage of articles of any sort. On this island, situated as it Is in the heart of civilization, but whose prisoners are, to all pur poses, as isolated as if confined in some remote corner of the world, the Federal authorities are attempting to reconcile methods and principles of a remote past with constantly evolving theories of a changing present: they are endeavoring to strike a balance between harsh but effective technique employed for generations in handling unruly criminals, and the more humane, sympathetic present-day ideas which have failed to solve the crime problem. THOROUGHLY SANITARY There are no unhealthful, disea.se-fil'.cd Jungles on Alcatraz: Instead there are sanitary, modcrnly equipped work shops.

The dank, dark holes of the Bastille have given way to well-lighted, thoroughly ventrncd compartments. Ahatraz wlil not be a haven for ar.f -serial individuals, despite the sympathy and humaneness which have influenced the working out of plans for segregating the "disturbing element" from other Federal Institutions. The administrative regulations are stringent and the discipline will be firm. There will be no football, baseball, radios, moving pictures, few visitors, and severely-limited privileges. GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT Alcatraz is the outcome of man's persistent efforts to discourage crime through educational, corrective processes, while at the same time handling recalcitrant, defiant enemies of society with an unyielding hand.

This latest addition to the Federal government's chain of penal institutions is an experiment in administrative methods and In phvsical facilities.

SECTION OF THE ALCATRAZ PRISON CELLS The original army rell block has been renovated and rarefully selected inmates, the "hard guys" of other remodeled to provide facilities for confining 336 institutions, behind "tool-proof" steel.

a prim pile composed of rock, masonry and steel, be-c a the Devil's Island oi America, a twentieth century Bastille minuj torture chambers and dungeons but Inexorably the definite stopping place of the more desperate American criminals. Mindful of tne fact that no AI Capone desperate outlaw will ever overlook en opportunity for escape from confinement regardless of the preaching of men or angels, the Federal government turned to the forbidding California island originally used bv the Spanish as a fortress, later by the United States Army as a disciplinary barracks, for a prison site which would insure the carrying out of the sentences of criminals. AMONG THE GUESTS Today the grim island of eleven acres holds such notorious characters of the underworld as Al Capone. public enemy No. 1 of the prohibition era; George (Machine Gun i Kelly.

Harvey J. Bailey and Albert Bates, the kidnapers of Charles F. Urschel, Oklahoma City oil millionaire; Harold Fontaine, who smuggled guns for the Leavenworth Prison break of December 11, 1931; Gordon Alcorn, accused in the abduction of Charles Boettcher, Denver millionaire; Charles Berta, Thomas Underwood and Stanley Brown, three of seven prisoners who abducted Warden White of Leavenworth Prison in the 1931 break, and O. D. Stevens and W.

D. May, convicted of a triple slaying in Fort Worth, and under twenty-seven-year sentence as well for the $72,000 hold-up of a Texas and Pacific train in February, 1933. There are 211 of America's most dangerous criminals in the island prison at this time, their identities submerged In simple numbers. The desperadoes who once held the title "Big Shot" in the underworld moron haunts are known only by a number, on Alcatraz. NO HOPE FOR ESCAPE And they find, in the very position and form of the island, as well as in the phosphorescent glow of swirling waters driven against its rocky flanks by treacherous and powerful currents, an end to hope for escape.

Public enemies, regardless of what questionable power they once held In gangland, despite the number of deadly machine guns they once could muster, will not break from Alcatraz. and therein lies one answer to the question over which Uncle Sam is puzzling what to do about the arch criminal. Its rocky heights situated a mile and one-half from San Francisco's shoreline, the prison island presents a challenge to the felon contemplating escape: the waters swlrltne through that mile and one-half of distance are not of the sort through which a felon may hope to swim. SWIMMER NEEDS TRAINING Three well-trained and expert young women swimmers, in making a gesture, have swum the distance. They were trained to the minute for their feats, however, and their accomplishment proves nothing, so far as escape-minded prisoners are concerned.

"Tool-proof steel, capable of resisting a hand file or hacksaw for months, covers the cell fronts and windows. Heavily armed guards patrol the exterior walls of the recreation ground or watch observantly from menacing "gun towers" equipped with machine guns. A semi-automatic gas-ejection system has been installed in the mess hall to permit speedy quelling of "mess hall riots," the most t1 -eatening type of prison rebellion. Flood lights are placed along the shores where small boats might be beached, while strings of buoys are anchored 200 yards from the island to warn innocent individuals of their approach to the restricted area. UNDER CONSTANT WATCH Although emphasis is placed on good behavior, the prison personnel docs not intend to place too much stress on it.

Nurses and internes will treat ordinary cases and Frdcral physicians and surgeons will be summoned to the island from other government institutions when their services are required. HAND-PICKED GUARDS Even the civilian personnel will be subject to stringent regulations. The forty guards have been hand-picked from the employees at other government penitentiaries and their records have been investigated exhaustively to make certain the men responsible for maintaining order and discipline are thoroughly reliable. Guns and other weapons must be turned in at the prison armory when Ehifts change and all civilians are required to live on the island although "shore leave" will be granted periodically. Alcatraz has' become another laboratory for criminologists and penologists in the government effort to curb crime and develop more satisfactory means of handling America's enemies of society.

VISITORS RESTRICTED No visitors will be permitted during the first three months of a prisoner's stay, but after the trial period inmates who earn the privilege will be allowed one visiting day each month when they may see not more than two persons at one time.
