The first shipments of prisoners from Leavenworth and Atlanta arrived on the island at the end of August and in early September 1934; organized inmate resistance came less than one month later, on October 1. The protest began in the laundry, where inmates complained about the limitations on their privileges, particularly the denial of radio, movies, and newspapers. Warden Johnston received word that “the agitators would slug any prisoners who held out and perhaps wreck the laundry.”1 Johnston or...dered that four convicts identified by guards as fomenting the unrest be locked in their cells, but at the end of the eight-minute morning smoking break, other “agitators” refused to return to their work posts. All of the laundry workers were promptly rounded up, marched back up to the cell house, and locked up. After questioning the entire crew, guards took twenty-one men to isolation cells. The remaining workers were allowed to leave their cells for the noon meal, after which they were told to return to their jobs; nine men refused and were taken to A block to join the first group of protesters.
