Castle of Broken Boys Volume 4 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781696953368)

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 4 of this series reviews the board of trustees, delves into the lives of the superintendents, and covers the musical, sports, and medical history along with cadet free time during Preston's 117 year history. Jammed with over 200 archive photographs.
