Castle Of Broken Boys Volume 3

In 1894, seven wards left San Quentin to spend the rest of their sentences at the new State reform school in Ione. It didn't take much for the courts to commit a boy to the Preston School of Industry. Career criminals accounted for a major portion of the population, but orphans, vagrants, and children whose parents could no longer care for them also called the facility on the hill their home. Volume 3 of this series delves into the history of the Preston administration building and the facility's expansion as it grew to encompass a thousand acres, with dozens of dormitories, a refectory, trades building, and detention cells. Learn about the trades where the cadets gained experience to help them find employment when paroled. Visualize the history through hundreds of archive photos.
