Years
later, the state built a nice recreation hall near the entrance to
the prison. Also a new school house was built. The recreation hall
proved to be a much needed asset, and provided space for
entertainment, dances and movies. Occasionally the inmate orchestra
would give concerts.
At
the silent movies there was a prisoner who was a marvelous piano
player. He was allowed to play during the moving pictures and could
adapt his playing to the mood of the picture. We knew him only as
Professor Gallure.
