Defense Program Curbing Crime Says Prisons Chief
James V. Bennett, director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, says the defense program acts as crime prevention. He notes a drop in crimes tied to economic need and narcotics as defense industries grow employment. Prisons aid defense production with items like ship canvasses and Army shoes, and vocational courses expanded. Draft law has not boosted prison population significantly with 200 jailed for failure to register out of 26 million signees.
