Our Prison Problem
(Contributed)
Few willgargue the point that California’s prison system
has been permitted to lanso to the point of becoming a disgrace to the state. It is true there have been extenuating cirnumerous convictions for crime.
But excuses cannot alter the fact that we're coming
smack up against a crisis in prison affairs that must be met
with intelligent action. That is clearly apparent in the picture
drawn by ex-Warden James B. Holohan of impossible conditions at San Quentin.
More than six thousand men packed like cattle in a place
meant for 3,000! Thirty-nine men living on floor space the
size of a small bungalow! And the whole huge prison a keg
of restless dynamite. :
‘Holohan, ritibed now after eight anda «half. years as
warden, has presented a five-point plan for an adequate California system. His basic theory is that rehabilitation should
be stressed, that the rotten apples should be separated from
those only. bruised, who might be regenerated.
First he wenld have prison farms for youthful ‘first offenders, whee they could work in the open and learn cleaner ways. He would limit San Quentin to 2,500 men. He
would reserve Folsom only for the most incorrigible, danger-ous criminals. He would have a separate institution for the
‘criminally insane and feeble-minded. He would triple the
number of men being rehabilitated in road camps.
Many will of course disagree in some way with the program. But no one will deny we must have a program, and
soon. Every responsible citizen in the state should be putting
in some serious thought on this prison problem.

. The current biennial budget of the State of California is
greater than the amount spent by the state from the first year
_of statehood, . 850, to the beginning of the World War, 1914.
‘During this period the combined expenditures of the state
amounted to $414,452,000, while the 1935-37 budget
amounts tc $430,971,000. Thus the state now spends more
in two years than it did in the first sixty four years of its
history.

When Father ‘Junipero’ Serra
founded Mission San Diego de AIcala, it was his fond dream that a
chain of Franciscan stations, each a
day’s travel apart, would be established extending from San Diego to
San Francisco,
It was due to his ambtion to fill
in the gaps between the missions in
San Diego, ‘Los Angeles, San Luis
Obispo, Monterey and San Francisco
as rapidly as possible that the Mission San Juan Capistrano in Orange
county was created in 1776. This
mission is the third on El Camino
Real, the ancient ‘‘King’s Highway”’
but was the seventh of the twentyone California missions founded by
Father Serra and his brother friars.
Father Serra. was in Monterey
when, on August 10, 1776, he and
Don Fernando Rivera, military commander, received from Viceroy. Buearel! in Mexico authorization to
launch two more missions, It was
agréed that one station should be
between San Diego and San Gabriel
Arcangel in Los Angeles near to a
spot christened San Francisco Solano by Governor Gaspar de Portola, in 1769. This name was not given
to the new mission because the various patron saints had been chosen
by the viceroy and San Juan Capistrano was next in line for honor.
Hence the seventh mission was named after this saint.
Fathers Fermin de Lasuen of SanCarlos de Monterey and Gregorio
Amurria of San Luis Obispo was appointed by Junipero to establish the
new missionary center. Arriving at
the site‘in advance of Father Aumrio, Lasuen erected an arbor, raised
a-large cross, blessed the ground and
on October 30, 1775, offered up the
first holy mass. Numerous Indians
were present and welcomed the
priest and his soldiers and set about
helping to build a chapel.
On the same day that Father Amurrio arrived from San Gabriel with
goods and cattle, word was received
of the Indian massacre at San Diego
de Alcala. Lieutenant Ortega immediately set out for San Diego with
soldiers leaving a bodyguard with
the fathers and urging them to make
haste and follow him. Work was
suspended, the two, mission bells
buried and with all movable goods
on pack mules the two priests hurried south.
Due to obstacles placed in their
way by Rivera, Fathers Lasuen and
Amurrio remained idle in San Diego

for almost a year. And then Viceroy
ordered thatthe Mission
San Juan Capistrano be established
Bucareli
as soon as possible. Highly elated,
Father Serra, himself, at once set
out for the abandoned site ‘with a
Small party. Arriving there he found
the cross still standing. He had the
bells dug. up, hung them in a, tree
and’ then rang them to announee--to
the Indians that the missionaries
had returned. The natives appeared
overjoyed, assisted in building an
arbor and altar and-on November _1,
1776, Father Serra offered up high
mass. This date is accepted as the
day on which Mission San Juan
Capistrano was founded.
On December 19, seven weeks later, in. a temporary chapel’ Father
Amurrio_ officiated at the. baptizing
of the first Indian child. The fathers proceeded rapidly with building
construction, erecting a new chapel,
concerning which Father Englehardat,
mission historian, says:
“In the absence of all reports to
the contrary, we may confidently
assert. that Father Serra officiated at
Confirmations in 1778 and 17838 in.
the still existing chapel, which was
the rear half of the present structure; and that, therefore, this chapel may glory in the distinetion of
being the only chapel or church in
California in which the founder of
the California missions celebrated
holy mass and administered the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation:
On his farewell visit to the mission in October, 1783, a year before
his death, Father Serra confirmed .
221 persons. ;
In 1797, the mission fathers began construction of the most pretentious of all mission buildings. More
than 1000 convert Indians lived at
the mission at this time. The men
were put to work bringing stones
from the quarry for the structure, It
is related that the Indian women and
children wished to have a hand in
the building and that they trudged
to the quarry and back daily bringing pebbles and small stones in their
aprons and hands.
