Navy plan to discharge offenders to fund recruiting stations
Rear Admiral Victor Blue, head of the bureau of navigation, submitted to the House Naval Affairs Committee a plan to discharge offenders instead of sentences. He argues desertions would end, expenses drop, and recruiting expand by reallocating prison funds. A recruit costs 32 to enlist and outfit is free, while prisoners cost 450 to 500, with prison time often wasted.
