Schneider, Postmaster. H. P. 435 5) State Public Welfare Director Offers Unique Scheme to Benefit Prisoners Rodney Brandon, director of the de, partment of public welfare of Illi- nois, recently recommended new me- thods of procedure in giving pardons and paroles, antieipating action to be taken in that direction by the judicial advisory council of the state. Brandon believes that I prisoner's term should end when he hug con- vinced omciuls by his actions that he is genuinely penitent. He exPhined in detail his plan before the Judiclll council which is drafting a proposed remodifieation of the state penal laws. This council will submit its report to the next general assembly. Mlkel Distinction The director distinguished between genuine penitence And what he culled "emotional penitence." "Every prisoner is sorry he in in prison," Brandon said, "But he mly not be sorry for the meson thet sent him there. That is emotioml peni- tence, The difterenpe between the sincere penitence must be determined seientitieally and is t problem for doctors end psrehotumlrsts "Prisoners should not be held ir. prison alter they ere genuinely peni- tent. Nor should they be released before. It is folly to free an embit- tered man just beceuse his term is up. He will moat likely seek revenge on the public and land in prion again." “Social Honolulu" His theory, he “id, would turn prisons into sociol hospitals, where every eftort through education end science is made to-get the prisoner "socially well." He said he realized that such an attitude would be I rev- olutionizing of penal philosophy and could nct be expected overnight. As to expediting the criminal court process. he said he favored the Mary- iand system which does not permit a man "to escape trial through a com- ma or semi-colon in an indictment." He said the council found in its in. vev,titration that Maryland sends a Miminal to trial with more speed than any other state. Considering the parole system, Brandon recommended that impris- onment should “taper off." Before expiration of his term he slid, the prisoner should be in such I state of genuine penitence that he con.be trusted to come and go from prison. Stringent at First "Parole should be so stringent It fast as to almost make the prisoner wish he were bark in prison so he might leave some freedom. Then pe- role, as the prisoner justifies his re- lease, should taper oft." He recommended adoption of a state-wide probation system similar to that of Cook county. which provides restitution to the injured party in many instances. It does not benefit the men who has had his car stolen and wrecked to send the thief to prison for five years, but it does help the owner if _the thief is put on pro- bstion and forced to pay out of his wages for the dsmszes, he explained.
