ORONO WEEKLY TMES, OIRONO WLEKLY lIMES ýAutLior-zedJ as Second 'Class mail, Post Office D(,partment, Ottawa) Eslgbablished in I938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester -- Edlitor, and Manager PUbLisbed ewery Tiirsdauy a, the office c>f puiblicatick Main Sereet, Pric)one 109, urono, cntario 4 IsIt A Reforraatoriat The Anglican Chuirch commjittee's intenimi, report on the hIlbrook reformnatory lias a number of citicisms to make of the priscni's operation and of the penal philosophy hehind it. It maintains that the location of the reformfatory is a bad one on the grounids that it is net situated ila an area wghere specialized psycliological, psychiatrie, merical, soci- olÀogical and educational help is readi'ly availalle. It says that the educational qualiications and pay rates of cus,,todiîal stagff are too low, and that training programs for them should be greatly increased. It. says that thietraining of inmates leaves much to be desired and is ulkl to bring about reliabilitation. It indullges in a degree of self- ýriticism, also, notin.g thaýt the Churcli as a whole lias not shown sufficient interest in reform institutions. Maniy of these cr-itîcisms, apart fromn that rteferring to the location of the refor-matory, are not new. They are uaderstood to pertain not merely te Millbrook but, in one decgree or anofher, te other penitentiaries in Ontario and aýcross Canada. rut in its- internim report, the committee con- fined itself to those aspects of the charges (made by the Rev. S. G. West, head of correctional chaplaacy for the ootodiocese, and in the columns of this aewspaper), ,whicýh were capableo f proof. The comm.-ittee lias n-t yet niade investigatfons o-f the charges of physical or psychio- logical brutality that have been mnade and the iaterim re- port states that the committee lias a great deal more study to do in certain are as. It labours under certain disadvant- ages in that it is not a judicial committee, lias not the power tok summon witnesses under oath and lias very limited acc(,ess to the reformratory itself. But if the criticisms tLhat the report made are not new, they have been madle by a responsible committee ofla- qýuiry and they serve to reinforce concema about the penal policies of the Ontario Goverament. It is, for instance, absurd that severely disturbed criminals should be in the hýnds of staff who bave a Grade X education or less and who, even witli recent pay increases, receive a starting salary of only $4,009 a year. Staff is certaialy in short supirply but the way to increase ai-d improve the staff is- not to keep salaries 10w and even to consider reducing tlie educatlonal qualifications, as the minister lias appbrent1y eebut to raise them significanitly. We nmust await the final report of the comimittee be- fore reeeiving more cetailed înformation about conditions atý Millbrook. But the iaterimn report and the much fharshem accusations made by George Ben, the Liberal memnber of the leg-isiature for Bracondale, after lis recent tour of the reformatory should serve to dispel some of the complacency üvinced by a senior member of the department's staff Wmho sald of the departmnent s program that 'we can justly dlaimn (it) to be in the forefront of modemn correctional pro- cedures.' Millbrook will be the subject of further iaquiry both by the Anglican Church committee and in the Legis- lature and it will continue to be until the Department of Reformi Institutions abandons its secretiveness and gives evidence that it lias brouglit its corectional policies into the 1960s. The evidence is mounting that Millbrook is not veally a eformatory at aIl, but a place where people are ljcked up, punished and where their condition miay quite possibly be agravated. And wliat is true of Millbrook, the povince's newest reformatory, is no doubt true of other penal institutions in thie province. -Peterboroughi Examiner, W-Yho Should We Support?- Ia this columnn last week appeared the view that the Township of Clarke was associated te' a greater degree, physically, politically and economnically to that area laying to the west rather than to, the east. With this view strongly empedded we were somewhat amaàzed to read of the support given by the County of North- uLymberland and Durham and the local mnember of the legfis- lature,Mr Carruthers, for the establisýhment of' a Community College to serve the Bay of Quinte amen. 'the brief seing sub- mltfted dloes apparently include ýDurlim Ceunty in the Bay of Quinte amen. Tt is conceivable to beleive that if a College is ýgrant- ed thisae, Bay of Quinte, that it would be built in the more ýf)puated amen in or around Belleville. The service to thie County of Durham would be considemably restricted not oaly by distance but aiso by lack of public transit. The city of Oshawa is also seeking support for a Commniity College and sucli a'Cellege, if granted, and bii or aiound OsInawa, would certainly be of greater service and gIreiter benefit to Durham Ceunty than one in Thie gre-ater poriounro the student population of Dur- hami is lecated next door Oshawa.
