According to a recent survey by the Prison Industries Reorganization Administration, a staggering 92% of inmates at the District Jail and Occoquan Work House had been arrested before, with 87% having served previous prison terms for petty offenses. The report, based on an individual study of 675 prisoners in April 1937, paints a bleak picture of a community plagued by addiction and a lack of opportunities.
