Scope and Contents

The U.S. Army Rehabilitation Center located in Turlock, California, was open from 1942-1945 for the purpose of imprisoning and rehabilitating U.S. Army military found to be in violation of military regulations of the time. Carling Malouf was working on his doctorate in anthropology at Columbia University when he was called to military duty. Between 1942 and 1946, he served in Arizona, Utah, and in California at the Rehabilitation Center in Turlock. There he became the camp sociologist. He collected data about the prisoners, such as their family background, geographical characteristics (urban or rural), type of offense(s), race, and ethnicity.
The unpublished manuscript of Dr. Carling Malouf was deposited by Dr. Lewis Napton, Professor of Anthropology at CSUS. Dr. Napton had been a student of Dr. Malouf at the University of Montana where he taught social anthropology, historic archaeology, and Pacific ethnology. Volume one contains several chapters of narrative describing the rehabilitation program at Turlock. The second volume contains fascinating prisoner case studies. In 1996, librarian and archivist Robert LeRoy Santos, published a study based on Carling Malouf's original notes titled "The Army needs men : an account of the U.S. Army rehabilitation center at Turlock, California, 1942-1945."
