PACE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 4 THURSDAY, 'APRIL 15, 1948 Need of Reform in Prison System Made Plain at Club Meeting y The old bromide about tae ex- prisoner having "paid his debt to society" was debunked last night by J. A. Edmison, K.C. president of the Canadian Penal Association, in an address on criminal reform to the members of the University Women's Club at Adelaide House. Under the present system the stigma sticks, he said. It may cost a man his job if he fails to report that he has served a term; conversely he is unlikely to get a job if he does. He can go back to the old game with no questions asked. Pressing the need for a reforma- tive prison system everywhere in Edmison referred with admiration [to the reformed system in England | and Scotland, paying tribute to the | intrepid "torch bearers" of bygone | centuries, John Howard and Eliza. beth Fry. ihe great punishment is | the taking away of all personal lit- .erty, he maintained. "If you were imprisoned in the Royal Hotel," he said, "cut off from all | personal contacts, fn five days the luxury of the room would mean nothing to you." Until recently young offenders and old timers lived together=in | | prison irrespective of the influence | of the one on the other.

Trifling misde- meanours met with severe physical punishment, meted out indiscrimin- ately to convicts, aged eight, nine and ten years old. A report was made on the flogging of women; the case being cited of a 14-year-old who was flogged eight times in three months. Such were the good old days, commented the speaker, "When delinquents were few, and the law knew how to take care of them--or thpught it did." The re- sult of this treatment was that | those that survived--many did not | --were made more vicious and anti- | social. : An Ounce of Prevention Today we are groping a way to. ward saving youth, he said. It has been stated and accepted, that there are no bad boys, only good boys gone wrong; a "new look" that would have been' summarily dismissed a century ago. The educational pro- gram of the R.C.M.P. in the West, where the Mounties go to boys' chibs to supervise sports and give talks, is instilling respect for the law. A similar project is in effect in Toron- 0 ward, an acknowledged tough dis- | trict, where the Kiwanis runs a club right above No. 2 Police Sta- tion. Boys who would otherwise be roaming the streets locking for mischief, now go to the club to "wrassle with the cops" whom they | are coming to recognize as good sports. This year, Mr. Edmison re- ported, thére were no single depre- dations on Hallowe'en, whereas other years the night had rung with false fire and police alarms and other quasi-criminal activities. Tackling the delinquency problem was not enough, the speaker declar. ed. Constructive steps must be taken to prevent crime, which like disease is contagious. He recom- mended to his listeners a book by | Dr. Kenneth Rogers, "Styeet Gangs | - in Toronto." Several times in his address Mr. In Need of Yardage Material 0 r SIMPLICITY PATTERNS? Call at A.B.C.

At these institutiens which have been operating with criminals are studied to find the cause of their waywardness. What- ever has been lacking is in some measure supplied. They are taught g trade and emerge ready and anxious to keep in step. Such is not the case in Canada, and young of- fenders' are often more versed in the ways of crime when released than when sentenced. England Sets Pattern Two further reformations are im- perative--free legal aid for impov- erished accused, and an instaliment plan for fines. Both have been in effect under the English system for many years, the speaker stated. "Is the accused without funds? Is his liberty in jeopardy?" the judge asks, appointing state counsel! if necessary. In this way uninform. ed, misguided youth gets a better fines means that the life-long stig ma of a prison term can often be avoided. Mr. Edmison spoke of the John Howard Societies which are doing much toward the rehabilitation of | ex-prisoners, citing cases and read- | | ing extracts from letters from men | who had again taken their place in an indifferent society. He urged his listeners to become acquainted with conditions as they are and to be instrumental in bringing about the long ovetdue reform for the ad- vancement of Canada. The speaker was introduced by | Miss Marie Shantz who presided, and Mrs. H. D. Cleverdon moved a vote of thanks. Prior to the meet- ing, Mr. Albert Robinson, represen- tative from New York of the Com munity Concert Association, spoke on music in the community, and a short film pcrtraying Appleton and Field, duo pianists, Carroll Glenn, | violinist, and Igor Gorin, baritone, was shown. | | | SAVED BY TREES Ysddu, Monmouthshire -- (CP)-- | A bus driver and six passengers | miraculously escaped injury recent- |ly when a workman's bus careened | down a 60-foot embankment.
