STAFF EVALUATION
Duket is a 26 year old white man sentenced at Denver, Colorado under sub-section 4208 (a)(2) to seven years for robbing a Denver Savings & Loan Association of $3,000, pretending he had a pistol. He was serving both federal and state probation at the time of the offense. He used the infant child of a friend as a hostage in escaping officials when first apprehended. Only during the last year has he been engaged in criminal activities, during which time he has received two suspended sentences for serious offenses.
Our inmate comes from a large family of twelve children. He married at age nineteen, shortly after quitting high school prematurely. His marital life was stormy, and after a separation and a reunion he and his wife separated again. Although he was employed fairly steadily, he changed jobs frequently, was restless and unstabilized [guess: and] appears to have exhibited a high degree of nervous tension and frustration [guess: resulting] in the twelve month "binge" which culminated with the present [guess: offense]. [illegible partial line]
Duket functions on almost a tenth grade level, has high average intelligence and a very fast manipulative dexterity. Tests show he has aptitudes for learning in numerous types of work. However, he very flatly declares he is not interested in pursuing academic subjects or engaging in any trade or vocational training. He declares he has a trade as a grocery and food warehouse worker, but he plans to follow construction work on release. He resents the suggestion that he should improve himself trade-wise while here and, in this frame of mind, he is not presently a candidate for such training. He is interested in the religious instruction program and has enrolled in such a course. There is only a bare possibility that relations between him and his wife will improve to the point of a reconciliation. He is an impetuous, flighty individual for whom prognosis is guarded.
