My apologies for not changing the subject line. I am on vacation and had to hunt for an or-roots email for the address.

Hi all, 
I just read an article on WWI draft cards. The article said there was four registrations; 


June 5, 1917 for men 21 - 31 years old 
June 5, 1918 for men who had turned 21 since June 5, 1917 
August ? 1918 for men who had turned 21 since June 5, 1918 and 
Sept. ? 1918 for men who had turned 21 since August, and those 18 - 20, and 31 - 45 who had not registered. 


My husband's brickwall Grandfather Charles Howard was in the Oregon State Penitentiary during that time. I was wondering if any of you know if you were in prison did you have to register? 
Thanks, 
Ronda
