Record Shows. (Continued from Page One)

“Some features of parole as prac ticed by the prison of a Middlewestern state. ; “In this state the board of trustees of each institution is the paroling ‘authority. At the prison, therefore, the board meets once each month to transact business, to pass on financial matters and perform the other tasks required of a board of trustees. The board is composed of four members, ap-

presumably public-spirited citizens, each with his own private business or professional life occupying most of his time. “The practice of the board is to spend part of two days at the prison, arriving one day and departing the next. On the occasion of my visit the board spent four hours in he evening—from 8:25 to 12:25-—dis-posing of parole cases. Ninety-five offendets eligible for parole came before it in those four hours. The board not only studied the information presented to it about the offenders, but saw each offender and made a decision for or against parole.

No Advanced Information

“If a man was up for first parole hearing, the board had learned nothing about his case in advance,

been sent to members before the hearing; all their information concerning the new case, therefore, was gained at the hearing. “In reaching 95 decisions in four hours, the board gave just two and a half minutes to each case—and this included studying the docket, interviewing the man, and deciding whether to grant parole or not; nor does the two and a half minutes make allowance for the time wasted by the entry and exit of the prisoners and in other ways.

Hearings Not Private

“The manner in which the board conducted the hearing was interesting in several respects. To begin with, when-a prisoner entered thet room he faced 24 people. This is in striking contrast to the practice of some boards of parole, which consider these hearings as private and confidential affairs. Not so at the institution now being discussed. In addition to members of the board .and several officials of the prison itself(' whose presence was justified, of course), there were wives and daughters of board members, attorneys who were to plead for some of the offenders eligible to parole, other persons in the role of mere spectators, and newspaper reporters. “It was explained to me that newspaper ‘reporters : were allowed to be present in order that they might write, if they wished, “human interest” stories, without mentioning the names of offenders who were given or denied parole. It was interesting, therefore, to see the papers next day and to observe that no reporter had paid any attention to this rule, but that each had published such items as he pleased, supplying names, details of crimes, future residence of paroled offenders, etc., solely with a view to making interesting reading. “Newspapers, no doubt, are entitled to the results of actions of

8.| parole boards, and no contention is

made here that such action can be withheld from them. But to give reporters decisions reached, after they have been reached, is one thing, and to conduct confidential conversations with prisoners in the very presence of the newspaper reporters -themselves, when so many Ds facts concerning the lives of the prisoners come out, is quite another. It is not in keeping with the therapeutic nature ‘of the parole process. ;

“There Are Ladies Present’

“There were other ways in which the hearing was worthy of comment. Presence of women presented a peculiar difficulty. In several cases prisoners were refused permission to make statements to the board on the- ground that “there are ladies present.” None of the women offered to leave’ the room at such moments, nor was their absence re-

bottle up what he wished to say, look resentfully at ‘the women and keep his counsel. “Similarly, . communications from board members to prisoners were suppressed for the same reason. One offender, who. seemed to be in doubt as to why he had earlier been returned as a parole violator, was told that this information could not be given to him “in the presence of these women.” “Another wished to make a statement concerning his crime but was told’ that ‘in the presence of. wom-~ en’ he could not do so. None of the women present had any official re-

the institution. “One member of the board deemed

it appropriate to shout admonitions and characterizations of the prisoners themselves at them. “You are just about the most contemptible -cur that walks: the earth, he hurled at one prisoner,

ping, he shouted at another. “To another he remarked, you have not a bit of honor.

‘Bad Parole Procedure’

“If the purpose of the social handling of the offender is to effect some improvement in his conduct, it is submitted that remarks like these, hurled at prisoners before audiences just at the moment when the offender is being considered for release on parole, is not the best way to get it. “One could not escape the conclusion that to many of those in the room’ the parole hearing was a show, and that members of the board occasionally gave spice to this show by remarks made at the expense of prisoners standing before them. “We present the, above paragraphs as descriptive of a very bad parole procedure.”
