also a raise in subseriptionso '

The money reeeived over and above the cost of produotion is
channeled into an inmates“ general eontribution fundo Along with
other donationss the money will go to the Paradise Friendly Ghildm
renﬂs Homeo A very worthy oauseo
,. -'Another efford to raise money for the ehildrenls home is sales

These eards are now available to the publio at the Leather Stando
Inmates may purohese the osrds vie CEO for as little as 025% or any
amount avove that which they would like to oontribote to the Homeo
If eaeh of us buy one oard eeoh month we could easily run the sow

OUR COVER

The ides for our cover this time some to your aeting editor by

anything but newo In feetg similar sueh designs were found in the

Joe Grant9 PHASE 1V director and publisher of Penal Digest In»
ternationalg recently made e trip to New Yonkg Connecticuttg Pena
nsylaviag Washington? D000 and Chicagog lllinoiso During the trip
Grant met with foundations and representatives of pnivete* business
who are interested in the progneme PHASE IV is startingo >

“This was our first fund raising tripmg said Gnanta and oven
$3009000000 proves to me that meny individuals and private corpora
atione are sincerely interested in helping onwcone who are genuine»
ly trying to help theneelvesa What has surprised many people is
that we will actually be able to assist prisoners and eprrisoners
with their educationso This is what we set out to do last December
I donﬁt mind adding that I had no idea that we would have over $300
000000 this ﬁesta“ ,

The majority of the funds will go to provide prisonere who
wish to study creative writingg photography end not with scholara
ships so that they can better utilize the time they spend in prison
The remainder will be used to provide anacone with financial aesism
tance as resident students of colleges and universitiesO

’ "The schools are cooperating, beautifully”9 Grant addedo ”I
haVe contacted e number of schools about matching the money we
award to a Student and they'have agreed without hesitationo 19m
extremely pleased that two of the schools that have agreed one the
University of Ghicagog and the University of lone» because both
schools have excellent sociology; criminology and psychology depart-
ments 0 '

It wee pointed out to Grant that the Univereity of Chicago has
rigid entrance requirements and that it might be difficult to find
an echon who can pass the entrance exemeo

"Not a chanceo We may be held back by 8 lack of funde but
never because we canﬂt find a man on women who can fulfill entrance
requirementeg” Grant saido ”In fact we hope to eeeist an enacon
who is beginning work on his PhD this fella”

Moot of the women and men will be etenting es juniors but some
who have served sentences in prisons where there one no educational
facilities will start as freshmen,” eeid Gnento He added? "While
I was serving time at Leavenworth l nee able to do some surveys
about what the potential of the men were in that perticualn prisono
I found that ?5 per cent of the men had the potential for graduate
studyo Since the potentiel is theeeg all we have to add is desiree
One of the prime incentivee will be that the individual will have
the oportunity of being in on the ground floor and among those form
ward thinking people who will drastically change penology in this
country during the 7093W¢

"Con program is not uniqocc We jcet happen to heve the first
newspaper of this kindclfoDolo) There are echone all over the
country who are already in school e already laying the foundation
for those who are now in prison perparing to enter college and

here and theneg and ending up with money enough to really help pee»

 AFTER 3? YEARS A LOSER TURNS WINNER

(PP) John A0 Smalleyg’who has spent over half his life in prisong dew
cided to learn Spanish a few years ago while plotting an escape to
Mexicoo

But instead of aiding his escape plainsg Smalleyls Spanish stud“ 1
ice touched off a thirst for knowledge that will reach a milestone by
August lhth when he receives a masterls degree in sociology from the
University of Utaho -

Smalley spent 37 of his cl years in the Colorado State Prison on
armed robbery chargeso Ten years of that time was spent in solitary
confinement after he escaped three timesc

He says he smoked Marihuana for 32 years while in prisono "SeVm
enty per cent of the prison population was on drugsg mostly marijuana
because it was easy to smuggle incW

Smalley was released from prison in l9el to go to school but cone
tinned'snohing marijuanao When he was caught smoking pot While atemdw
ing Adams State college in colorado in l963 he was sent bachtc prim
son for five yearso

When Smalley got out in l9o8 he decided to break his drug habit°

9“:thVs against the law?” he saido

Smalleyg la shorty outgoing amass”9 says he doesnlt think his 32
years on. drugs affected his,o MAt least 19m.not aware of any probe
lane from smoking marijuanag" he saido . -

” Smalley gives this account or his record; he dropped out of
school at the eighth grade and was sent to prison the first time for
four years when he was lBO

Then began a prison m release cycle that looked as if it never
wouldtendo He was released after his first termg spent 33 days outm
side and was jailed for four years for armed robberyu

After he got out ageing for only l7 daysg he was sentenced to from

50 to 90 years as an habitual criminale ”I just couldnlt get along on
the outside?“ he saido ”I had no trade? not much educations”

He escaped three times9 but was quickly recaptured each time and
two years was added to his termo

”19m still serving parole on that sentence and Colorade officials
say I wonlt be free until 19959m he aside "But the Utah parole board
says if I continue my progress Illl be out in two yearsc”

' ' Smalley said he decided in the 195093 to use the longg lonely
hours in solitary confinement learning Spanish so he could escape to
Mexicoo

He spent four years studying in solitary; borrowing books from
the old prison school which had been closed down 20 years earliert

"By then I was hooked on learningg I promised myself that I was
not going to steal anything until I got an educationo”

In l96l9 prison officials gave him a ohanoe to attend an outside
schoolo "It was a whole new world for meg” Smalley aside “I made a
cleanﬂbreak with everything m the prison; my old associates and everya
bodyo .
”Thatls the only way I made itq Without a clean break; 19m sure
I would have gone right back to stealing?" he saidy
. After getting out of solitarys dmalley taught fellow inmates for
three_years9 then was made a treaty at a nearby reformatoryt from
there he attended a junior college? then reeeived a bachelor of arts
degree from the University of Colorado in lQon graduating with an A

BLACK WHITE, AND RED

 

This article is based on a substantial amount of research
Black History and heritageg as well as our nation‘s history”
done by my collegue and I over the past several monthso We
hope this article influnences all in a positive direction h
primote general welfare of and toward himself and the public
and to strive for one unnamous quality unityo That is “Better
living through better social understanding of men's nature, his
feelings and his enviroment W

Through observation I have concluded that what man does not
understand nor has a desire to understand he tends to either
fear its destroy itg or debase it Such has been the cause of

WHITE AMERICA

You call blacks s"niggemsﬁ but do you know what that is?
Anywayg "what is a name by which we sell a rose that by any
other name would smell just as sweet"°(8hakespear) and you say
blacks are not your equalg and for what.reason?

I“m a black mano But does a black man not have eyes, hands
organs» dememsionsg senses» affections, passion? Is he not fed
with the same foodg hurt with the same weaponsg as a white man
is?

If you prick may do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we
not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if yea wrong]
uss shall we not avenge? If we are like you in the restg then‘
why are we not your equal?
