Bankers Fare Well Parole Reduces Prison Banker Population
The banker colony at Leavenworth Federal Prison has fallen from 40 to 24 as parole laws cut into the ranks. The group includes two presidents, multiple cashiers and clerks, with sentences up to 15 years. Several bankers await parole decisions, and at least one may depart in 1912. The inmates, largely well behaved, occupy dormitory rooms above the deputy warden’s office and enjoy relaxed rules compared with typical cells.
