'Home
Is Prison
By LAVONNE ALTHOUSE
‘‘Why do you live at a prison?”
This question was asked of Joseph Kline, Delta Tau Delta, who
lists’ his home address in the student directory as Western State
Penitentiary, Pittsburgh, and Patricia Nutter, whose address reads
U. S. P. (prison) Reservation, Lewisburg.
Both Miss Nutter and Kline are fifth semester stu
dents, majoring in journalism and arts and letters respectively.
Both smiled
when asked the question, as
though they had expected some
thing'like that eventually.
In Contact with Inmates
Miss Nutter r.plied that her
father is chief clerk in charge-of
buying and selling for the Lewis
burg institution. Kline’s father,
it developed, is state purchasing
agent for both. Western State and
nearby Rockview Penitentiary.
When asked if they ever came
in close J contact with many pris
oners, however, their answers
varied. Blonde Miss Nutter said
that families were usually not
allowed to talk to the prisoners
who, mowed the lawns, clipped
the hedges, and collected the
.garbage from 'the forty houses
of administrative personnel on
the Lewisburg prison.
Kline’s Contact Closier
However, she said she had
spoken to several prisoners who
painted their house a few sum
mers ago and heard stories from
the warden about the men. The
one she liked best was. about the
Texan prisoner who found his
fiancee’s relatives were all mem
bers either of the Federal Bur
eau of Investigation or the local
police force, and promptly broke
his engagement.
Kline has had a closer acquain
tance with the Western State
prisoners. One of tljeir jobs is to
take care of the automobiles pro
vided by the state for the use of
personnel.
Two years ago Kline’s family
met a paroled prisoner in down
town Pittsburgh one night. He
offered to drive them*- home in
his “big car,” They followed him,
smiling to go along with the joke,
and were quite amazed when he
showed them his Buick.
