Luther Henry Donegal students hear ex-convict, boys’ counsellor, tell about prison Students at Donegal High School had the chance to listen to a former convict. this past Thursday. Burns McKinney, an ‘‘ex-con”’ who became a counselor for the Lancaster City Boys Club, told of his experiences in prison, and gave the students the opportunity to ask questions. Captain Luther Henry of the Lancaster Police Depart- ment (Juvenile Division) began the discussion, open to sociology students as well as any interested student. Captain Henry gave some statistics on crime. Students were told that Lancaster County is the seventh safest county in the nation. He also pointed out that 51% of all felonies are committed by juvenile offenders. McKinney began his talk by describing his back- ground. Both he and Burns were born and raised in the 7th Ward. They had similar family situations, and both took to the street. Captain Henry, ‘““through the Grace of God,” did not get caught and went straight. McKinney, who was not so lucky, spent 14 years in juvenile and adult institu- tions of correction. He was arrested for the first time at the age of nine when he set fire to a candy store and was sent to a home for juveniles. McKinney told the stu- dents that much of his School Here is the Donegal Schools lunch menu for the week of Nov. 26-30: Monday Thanksgiving Vacation Tuesday - Soup & Saltines Meat or Peanut Butter Sandwich Potato Chips Fruit Mix Milk Wednesday Hot Dog on Roll Scalloped Potatoes ‘‘learning’’ went on within the institutions. A prisoner convicted of small-time burglary will learn armed robbery while in jail. This process continues until a man is so hardened that he can committ murder without feeling guilt. McKinney described pri- son life for the students, trying to instill a true understanding of the conse- quences of a life of crime. There are four classes of inmate status, ranking from 4th (no freedoms) to first class (limited freedoms). The worst position to be in is solitary confinement, known by prisoners as ‘‘the hole.”” Some ‘‘holes’’ have dirt floors and walls and no light. The prisoner is served only one meal a day, and bugs and rats are common. Burns spent six month in ‘““the hole.”’ McKinney went on to describe frequent homo- sexual behavior within the institution, the murders and the self-made weapons. Survival in prison de- pends on acting tough in “order to avoid ‘‘being taken advantage of.”’ Inmates would purposely scar them- selves in order to look tough. For the students listening the statements made by McKinney had to be a bit frightening.
