The Judge, former president of the University of Nebraska board of regents, and his son, Frank, a law student at the university, spent three weeks in the Fort Madison, Ia., prison. To study criminais and prison conditions, they induced the governors of Nebraska and Iowa to permit them to enter the prison as "convicts,"
Not even the warden knew their identity. Their entrance papers showed they had been convicted of a real estate fraud and that they were second offenders.
For more than three months, Judge Landis and his son were able to keep their secret. They had not intended to let anyone know about it, but someone on the university campus tallied too freely.
Reluctantly, Judge Landis admitted that he and his son had served a three weeks self-imposed "stretch."
They entered the prison as the "De Witts"-father and son. They Icorned about prison life; found that prisoners spend much of their time planning new "Jobs" when they are freed; discovered that con- vlets are greatly interested in sports, know the batting averages of the major leagues and decurs national football rankings.
