Prisoners Go On
Weekend Bender
On Sleeping Pills
WALLA WALLA, Wash., UR —
All was quiet at the Washington
State Penitentiary Monday night.
It should have been.
Some 400 convicts were snooz
ing off the effects of a weekend
bender on sleeping pills.
Warden John Cranor tells this
story:
Inmate employes of the peni
tentiary warehouse got curious
Saturday when a shipment of war
surplus hospital supplies arrived.
They happened to open a box con
taining 40,000 Nembutal tablets.
They passed 10,000 pills around
to other convicts, and as one
guard put it:
“By Monday morning the whole
prison population had rubber legs.
A man would be walking down
the sidewalk and fall flat on his
face.
“We put them in Wing One
until there just got to be too
many of them.”
A shakedown -by prison guards,
Cranor said, turned up most of the
pills not gobbled down by the
prisoners or flushed down the toi
lets just prior to the shakedown.
Cranor is a little perplexed
-about the sudden form reversal.
He said the prisoners usually try
to hop themselves up by obtaining
benezedrine, a stay awake com
pound. '
“This is the first time they have
gone to the other . extreme.”
