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. Some wards made headline news, like Donald Arceo who killed his parents while they watched television, or Tony Cornero who was labeled the rumrunning and gambling king of California. Several wards became police killers like Marvin Morris and Jack Ellis. Then there was escape artist Willie Clark. Enjoy these stories about wards who walked the halls of the Preston School of Industry.
