"VOLUNTEER TO BE LOCKED UP IN JAIL --R. J. Leebrick of Long Beach to Sacrifice Liberty in Cause of Science. --BERKELEY, January 23. During the course of his lecture yesterday Professor T.H. Reed of the political science department of the University of California asked the members of his class if any of them had experienced a day or night in any jail or police station in order to become better qualified to discuss and explain the management of these institutions, and also for observing the condition of the inmates of such institutions. Receiving no reply, the savant went further into the subject, remarking that such an experience would prove beneficial to the close students of sociology....
To the surprise of the professor and those assembled, Robert John Leebrick of Long Beach, a junior in the University, volunteered to spend either a day or night or both in one of the police stations in the bay district or the Alameda County Jail. The announcement met with the hearty approval of the entire class.
Leebrick, at Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity house today, said that he was in earnest and expected the cooperation of the authorities, in order that he may be able to give a fair and impartial view of the true conditions and at the same time observe the persons incarcerated." -- 30 January 1910, San Francisco (CA) Chronicle
"JAIL LIFE STUDENT IS TO GET IN JAIL FOR SCIENCE --University Man Wants to Be Genuine Inmate to Aid His Class Work. -- BERKELEY, Cal., Feb. 5.-- Robert Leebrick, a member of the junior class of the university and of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, will submit to arrest, with its attendant features, that he may learn the sociological conditions of the Alameda county jail.
His work in this field will be taken up in the near future at the suggestion of Professor T.J. Reed, who has a class in municipal government of American cities at the university.
Just what young Leebrick will do to get into the hands of the officers of t he law so that his incarceration in the county jail as a prisoner will be assured is a point on which Professor Reed and the young sociologist are debating.
The study of the subject, they have agreed, must not be superficial nor from the standpoint of a person outside the jail. Leebrick must actually be sent to jail and gather his data and sociological notes as a prisoner, a breaker of laws and an associate with the usual element in a county jail.
The plan was formulated at the class meeting yesterday afternoon when Professor Reed, after making a review of the government of prisons, asked the class of sociological conditions that exist in the Alameda county jail. The class looked thoughtful, but there was no response. The instructor then called for volunteers to be sent to jail that they might study the conditions that obtain there. Leebrick offered his services in the cause of science and learning.
Leebrick is popular with his mates on the campus, and the university is agog with interest in the experiment." 6 February 1910, Denver (CO) Rocky Mountain News
"BIG CROWD GOES TO TENT CITY FOR DAY --Electric Car Service to Beach Resort Will Be Started By Company Tuesday Morning, Owing to Travel--The largest crowd of the season visited Coronado Tent City yesterday and the resort presented almost as lively an appearance as it does in mid-season.
