Deserters Placed In Leavenworth Reformary Plan
At Leavenworth the army tests a reform program for desertion prisoners. Convicted deserters will be housed until reformed, then released to complete enlistment or reenlist. Most are expected to reform, while incorrigibles are removed to prevent influence on others. The English system inspired the move, with Alcatraz and Fort Jay transfers signaling broader changes. Congress may enact further reforms to remove barriers.
