Penal experts blame crowding for Auburn mutiny
New York December reports blame overcrowded conditions poor food idleness and parole-board leniency for prison disturbances like the Auburn mutiny. William J. L. Butcher of the State Crime Commission and Cass of the Prison Association of New York urge classification segregation and vocational training as remedies. Warden Lewis Lawes says no extra precautions were taken to prevent Auburn outbreaks though 2000 prisoners could read their daily papers. Prison wards note only about 20 to 40 percent of inmates can be safely housed outside cells.
