...entered the Northwood lob by to buy tickets. Each time, the theater manager read aloud the Maryland trespass law. Arrests followed, and in seven days, 413 demonstrators were hauled off to jail. Most refused to post bail, set as high as $600, instead crowded six and seven to a cell, spilled over into corridors, and clambered around the penal premises...
Most striking outpost for the addicts' mutual-aid method is Nevada State Prison. Authorities invited Founder Charles E.

Privacy scarcely exists in the dormitories. In cell-like rooms jutting off long corridors sleep numerous little Radcliffe students in two straight lines. 'Cliffies can't even lock their own rooms. In the lavatories they brush their teeth three in a row. And meals are always eaten with nine other people...
