Mrs. Mary Ann Yewer said she just recently moved to the community, but knew the institution was there. "Why should that bother me...." Lena Foster, born and raised in the area: "No I'm not concerned. Never heard too much opinion about it." Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Moore of Buffalo, New York: "We've come here every year for five years on our vacation. To be honest with you, I didn't know about it until you told me." Will they keep coming? "Sure. Why not?" Edward Clarke: "Quite frankly, I haven't it all that much thought. It gives people jobs. Now the provin- cial park....that't what I ob- ject to. Lots of noise...rowdy- ism..." Mrs. James Forestall: "It's not even worthy of a conversation piece. I don't think I've ever talked about it with anyone. The only con- troversy she's ever hear was someone who wanted to sell his farm nearby, and put in a trailer park. Petitions, dele- gations, she said. "All hell broke loose." Bill McCrary, a correc- tional officer: "I started here," said the area native. 'About 40 per cent of the guys who started with me were from this general area." He recalls a lot of people concerned at the time. "But they'd scream a lot harder now if they decided to move it." According to Warkworth director Bob Clarke, about 99 per cent of the 295 people employed at the institution live in a radius of about 30 miles of the institution. A vast majority of those live in Campbellford or immediate area. The institution has its own water, sewage, and fire protection system.

Unlike the institution pro- posed here, the Warkworth Institution has a good deal of social inter-action with the community. Prisoners donate to local causes by such efforts as Christmas concerts, stuffing envelopes for local service clubs, and more. Local clubs host annual meetings inside the walls, and general interest educational courses often see students from outside the walls in front row seats. A local contractor gets $20,000 for picking up penitentiary garbage, and bread, fresh fruit and vegetables, are all available for local tendering. Despite these, less than maximum secutiry condit- ions, there have been only" about 30 escapes in the nine- year history of the peniten- tiary.

Some clothes were stolen from an empty house. A changing government policy toward the operation and types of institutions is in the direction of smaller, inde- pendent institutions. A change in policy toward increasing the prison popu- lation would be a complete reversal in not only govern- ment policy but also treat- ment and rehabilitation ad- - vantages. Mr. Clarke points out that the Warkworth institution was designed to handle double the number of in- mates with a comparatively small additional expansion. Yet, the Service chooses to « build smaller institutions elsewhere, at a far greater cost, asis dictated by modern rehabilitation policy. A correction officer can make between $9,300 and $14,600 salary. The work week is 37% hours. "It's a stable industry", said Mr. Clarke. "A career job."
