Phone: Long i Strict Parole System Swells Prison Rosters The population of Illinois' three principal penal institutions, Joliet, Chester and Pontiac, has increased ap- proximately ten per cent in less than seventeen months. The figures for these three prisons show a compara- tive population as follows: February 3, 1927, 5923; May 24, 1928, popula- tion, 6,497. Statistics show that the population of the Illinois prisons has been grow- ing steadily since July, 1926, when Hinton G. Clabaugh of Winnetka took charge as chairman and supervisor of the parole board. Commenting on the situation in the prisons, Mr. Clabaugh states: "It will be noted that there has been a tightening up and strengthening of the parole system all along the line during the last twenty months. Much more severe sentences are being im- posed for all crimes of violence than ever before in the history of Illinois. "Insofar as murder, rape, robbery with arms, burglary and similar crimes of violence are concerned, the parole board takes the position that regard- less of the importance of reformation and rehabilitation, the safety of the law-abiding citizen and the protection of life and property are of paramount importance. Every gun holdup, bandit or burglar is a potential murderer and should be treated as such. Except in rare instgnces of extreme youth or other outstanding, mitigating circum- stances, it is impossible to exaggerate the value of severe punishment as a deterrent to criminal activity." Saturday Bridge Games Begin at Westmoreland This new month is to bring to West- moreland Country club a series of Saturday and holiday afternoon bridge parties for the feminine members of the club and their guests.
