From what I’ve read and heard (it was way before my time) the CCC was a volunteer organization that promised plentiful food and hard work. Most of the pay was to be sent home to family. Volunteers tended to follow the rules because breaking them meant going hungry again.

I think the old CCC men were very different from the bums and addicts that are the problem in big cities.
