The Fort Knox Story: Wartime Therapy of Army Offenders is an
account of a remarkable experiment during World War II that gives
us a blueprint for an effective correctional community in the
Twenty First Century. On the rolling hills of Kentucky, not far
from the Fort Knox Gold Depositary, Col. George L. Miller led an
intrepid band of Army reservists and mental health professionals in
a seminal fight for the hearts and minds of thousands of general
prisoners, returning a significant number to combat duty. The Fort
Knox Story tells us what went on in this battle - in its
patched-together shacks, training halls, and combat fields - that
presages those to come when we campaign to win back our prisons.
Basic to both is a prison, a secure place of containment, but also
of recovery from alienation, personal and social. There, as we
wrest control of the cliques and gangs - through group therapy,
media, education, and recreation - we collaborate in creation of a
"normal" culture, that by its very nature results in positive
change. The American Army accepted, even welcomed Fort Knox's
graduates, their success evidence of ongoing support and guidance.
In The Fort Knox Story we envision that the future correctional
community will be a "university within walls," training ground of a
range of professions, and backup to an extramural system of support
and guidance for its graduates. With many campuses, it will amount
to a school for living, as well as institute for research in the
causes and treatment of crime and deviance.
