State Prison Men Given Holiday Dinner
Eight hundred prisoners at the State prison Charlestown marked Washington's Birthday in a quiet way. There was no morning program and the men stayed in their cells all day, but they enjoyed a feast of their own choosing. Prison officers fear holidays after a Sunday as it gives inmates more time to think while confined.
