THE TYPICAL CONVICT
Carl Keller is the American citizen selected for the honour of representing his country as “the typical convict.” Possibly as a result of the neverending search for "types" at Hollywood, the United States has developed a “ type ” complex, and this recent addition to the list of such as “ the typical girl ” and “ the typical mother ” has filled Sing Sing prison, where Keller is in residence, with pride. Keller accepts fame with modesty. "I’ve spent 14 of the last 15 years in prison," he says. 41 I’m up to do at loast 16 rnoro now,.so I seem to be the type that's looked for.”
